Don't rush him. It's worth the wait!

The scheduled release is Shimano 11 first. About a month later, Shimano 10 and expect Campagnolo probably late spring.

Initially Jeremy said Shimano 10 first, but changed his mind since 11 is backwards compatible and will serve the most customers.

I can't wait either.
Glad 11sp is first.
This will be my first set of hubs from Al.
Is there a need to get on a wait list anywhere?

Last I checked there are no preorders. Personally, I keep a list so when I can order I have a list of what I need ready.

Same status. Sounds like those will come after the road hub release. I am quite excited to see the MTB hubs though!

Disc road bike with their MTB hubs?? Imagine won't be 11s compatible (either campy or Shimano), but could always building with 2013 SRAM red....

new info:

"Thanks for the interest in the new ORC-UL rear hub. The final prototypes are finished and the initial production run is under way. Once the parts are finished, they need to be polished and anodized and then they come back here for the finished assembly. We expect to have all of the parts in stock by late February, which should allow us to start delivering hubs in March. However, please keep in mind that we won't be able to give a definite release date until we actually have all of the parts in hand. The first run will be dedicated to Shimano 11 and we expect the Campy 11 version to follow 6 - 8 weeks later. Shimano 10sp and MTB disc hubs will come after that. As for pricing, we do not expect more than a 5-6% price increase for the new design. I don't have a release for the new ELF-Aero, but I expect that hub to be available within the next six months. Once again, thank you for your continued interest."

they are great pleople, and answer emails very fast.

best regards
