They should have told you that (and they shouldn't have said 6-8 weeks). When I ordered mine they said they currently did not have an allocation for mine but based on their best guess they gave me when they thought I could expect it. There were two ahead of me at the time. They were very close. It was actually about a month less than they originally estimated. Still a long 3+ months. I hope yours gets pulled shortly. That is the best feeling!
