Thats when i picked mine up so I'm right there with those who pre odered. But i think our sadly departed friend (RIP BJ) Big Jack was the first in the USA we know of to get one. I think he was the first to post here to say he took delivery. And if i rcall he got his a bit earlier then the normal pre order date, so he may well have been the first owner in the USA.
