Mike, there have been at least a handful of people that stated their store orders have been received. So yes, orders are being received before KS rewards, despite all the promises it wouldn't happen.
I think the problem that Pine ran into was trying to sell via the store too soon. On the store website, they had specified shipping no later then end of May. Being a store instead of KS, unfortunately I believe they have more legal obligations to fulfill those on time. It kind of stinks, but that's how it goes I guess. The other problem that brings is that it could potentially delay KS rewards even more, as supply is routed to store orders instead. I'd like to see them update the store to say orders won't ship until July, as that would allow them to finish off all the KS rewards, but who knows.
