I do think they are quite a few, I’m on that boat too 
Apparently there was glass shipping problems but things seems to move on, slowly… 
I think people have just set it aside in their mind and are just waiting. Well that’s how I feel, but maybe some are a bit more angry

I don’t have any precise date in mind even though the December you are mentioning rings a sort of bell. I guess one of these days we are going to receive an email with a shipping order, and that day, most of our waiting will be forgotten

Hopefully we'll get an update soon, I think they have been just stuck in customs now...

The wait is annoying, but I do love the pieces of theirs I have.

In the store he has the Calypso on pre-order so don’t think you are too late.Is it too late to pre-order?!
I would try to send him a message to know for sure.

China (and they made it through customs!)

There will be extras coming in the delivery, might be able to pre-order some now like Calypso, but there will be more of other pieces available too, for sale in the shop after the pre-orders are taken care of

Great to hear they made it through! Really looking forward to my preorder...
I had already assumed that the pieces are made in China. I don't know anything about glass, so please forgive what may be a stupid question: What is "better" about CC's Chinese glass compared to, for example, the pieces I can buy on DHGate? Are there qualitative differences? Or is it simply mass production that leads to the significantly lower prices on DHGate? And how do CC's pieces compare to glass pieces made in the US? Don't get me wrong, I'm perfectly fine with Chinese glass - I'm genuinely interested in the differences and background, it's purely about understanding. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks a lot!

Like I said in that which has been deleted, the people of China are capable of amazing quality (ask Elon why BYD is kicking Tesla’s behind globally). What matters is who in China you work with, and what you direct them to craft. CC appears to have located good talent to work with, and clearly has good designs.
The only ‘unknown’ in a way is the materials quality, CC would have to speak to that, but IME that has proven itself over time at least for durability.

Most glass on dhgate is sufficient to pretty good with the occasional wtf piece thrown in. Most of the American or German curated Chinese glass is good to very high quality. Most of it is production glass so it may not have the artistry or thickness of American handmade glass but the Cloud Connoisseur stuff is very nice quality and really pretty innovative or refined. I think the difference is that the mass-marketed stuff may not always be consistent in quality or build, or may even be poorly designed--it's cheap. The knock is that some shops are unafraid to sell inferior quality pieces. I feel like the term 'china glass' is pejorative but it connotes something real: cheap glass with variable quality, just as 'german glass' connotes exceptional quality, deserved or not. I'm not sure whether the Chinese glass companies westerners contract with are just top of the line, world-quality glass makers or whether most shops can do exceptional work if necessary. I think the problem here is applying the term to CC glass, since it may suggest something untrue: that it's cheap, poorly designed, or variable in quality (it doesn't seem like this was @Texus's intent). The reality is it's great glass.

Oh, looks like my comment "China glass" got deleted. Must have missed a good show...
But yes, my intent was just to say it was China sourced. No pejorative intended. And as I said in another deleted post, CC is just the kind of China-sourced glass that I prefer to buy. Innovative, original designs by a designer who really knows the DHV space intimately. CC pieces and the Grav Upline Bubbler are easily my most used pieces from China. And TAG also has some bombproof beauties.
But it is CC's dedication to supporting their products and customers that puts them above other quality China-sourced glass for sure. And so nice to have a manufacturer so squarely focused on glass for vaping flower. @iDRINKBLEACH rules.

Thank you all so much for your insights and thoughts. 
I want to make it clear that I never questioned the quality of CC's glass pieces and I also didn't want to express that I think Chinese glass is generally of lower quality. I have a Prophet, Calypso, dropdowns, and bowls on pre-order. My Omega is in daily use in combination with the Xeric. So: I love CC!
I take from the discussion that it's crucial who you work with and how you do it. Where the production takes place is secondary.
And just to be clear: I’m excited AF and can’t wait to have all that gorgeous glass in my hands.

Yeah manufacturers are going to be good or bad or in between wherever they are, a lot are talking to people in other places now, so there are much better designs, and better quality made stuff... There is still plenty of poor quality stuff as well, so it's a difference of what where, and how? Like anything else
