im supposed to get mine around mid-August. I guess there is a big shipment coming since alot of people will be receiving theirs from mid-late August.

Yeah, sounds like it. I thought I would be upset seeing other FR-S' on the road once I got mine, but now I'm thinking it will be kinda cool to see fellow drivers.

we walked into the Toyota dealership to look at other cars and left 3 hours later with a FRS

. Almost ended up with an XB or XD because the wife didnt like theargento but we walked inside to see an asphalt. Guess it was meant to be.

Well I was trying to place an order with a few different dealership, but none of them would take orders. I got lucky and called at the beginning of this month when they got their allocations in and a Whiteout A/T is on it's way. Should be here at the end of this month. :fingerscrossed:

Just ordered on Saturday. Told my dealer I'll take any MT of color that is not red/black/dark grey that rolls off the ship with as little options as possible. They are going to try to swap their Black AT allocation for it.

Should I expect a long wait?

I don't think it will be as long as some of the other people since you have multiple color options. It also seems like he's talking about making the swap in his current allocation. A few of us on this thread are getting it late August. Seems like that's when the next shipment is coming in. Maybe you will only have to wait a couple of weeks, but I wouldn't get too excited too quickly. Just might lead to disappointment.

I put down a deposit May 24th, and picked up the car on the 31st.

I was initially set on Firestorm, but listed Argento and Ultramarine as alternates. They got an Ultramarine in, gave me a call, and I jumped on it.
