Hey, it's time for an Adafruit Group Buy in advance of our upcoming Arduino Day event! Get what you need to make your crazy Arduino Day project work!
For whatever reason, all reseller orders through Adafruit (including the hackerspace deal we get) have a 5-7 business day lead time _before shipping_ at the moment, so I would say the latest we could place our order and safely have materials in advance of the 28th would be this Friday, March 13th.
So, we should probably also hash out exactly what items & quantities we want to order for Arduino Day tomorrow as well.
The procedure:
-Send me (via email to samuel...@gmail.com) a list of in-stock items at adafruit.com (preferably the URLs, so I can just click on it, but part numbers will suffice) and quantities that you would like to order.
-I figure out the discounted prices and let you know the total cost
-you paypal me that amount, or hand me cash in-person tomorrow if you don't do paypal.
-I order the merchandise & we eventually get it.
Caveats:
-In-stock items only, Adafruit does not allow for backordering. Some items also have order limits (i.e. one per order)
-Typical discount is 30% for Adafruit-branded stuff (and 40% if you order 50+ of an item), but non-Adafruit branded items range in discount from 0% (Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone Black) to 30%. Some new Adafruit-branded items also have no discount.
-Pre-pay only.

Update: While waiting for some of you to pay up, the NeoPixel Sticks and 16 NeoPixel Rings went out of stock. I replaced them with additional 12 NeoPixel rings and additional NeoPixel strip.
To prevent further shortages (and ensure delivery in time for Arduino Day), the order has been placed.
