Patience you must learn. 
I have patience, but this is the first board that I am ordering from a GB..I'm kind of new here.
Okay, well, Welcome to Geekhack!
The first thing to know about group buys, even Massdrop ones, is that it is a process, and there are stages. The first stage is ordering (after interest check, if done). That stays open for a while to let people participate, and increase numbers, so that the final costs are lower. Then comes invoicing/payment. This gives everyone a couple weeks or so to get payments in to the organizer. Then the item goes to production. The organizer usually doesn't have the funds to front production costs, so this has to wait until all monies are collected, minus those who drop out because they can't afford it. Production can take a while, depending upon if prototypes need to be made, error checking, etc. Not to mention holidays where the production facilities are. Once the items have been made, they are shipped to the organizer or thier proxy(-ies). Then everything gets sorted, packaged, and shipped to you.
So that's why you need a whole lot of patience when participating in a group buy. Some have been known to take up to a year or more to complete!
