Subaru builds batches of BRZs and puts them on boats and it is only after they get off the boat that your dealer gets to pick one out and assign your order to it. Once the demand dies down and production catches up to demand, you will be able to see your order go through the whole process, so if you want that level of detail wait another year and try again.

^^^ For both the comments above. Then SOA should not have given a buyer a VON. PERIOD!

I do agree though, giving a specific date as an ETA is a pretty bad idea.
I agree completely with your first statement.

Just keeping the facts straight....
You're the lucky one then. I was one of the very first to put in my order with Irvine Subaru (the largest Subaru dealership in SoCal) and still nothing.
