The GM's toolkit is higher on the list of upcoming releases than the Gathering Storm and shows a status update flag (but is still on the boat), but the expected date has changed to "-".

Umm?

I think they are alphabetical by title within each status. Still the rumor from distribution chains was that they expected gathering storm in 7 to 10 days.

I think that happened when Jay updated the description of the GM's kit to include the GM screen blurb. I remember seeing the change on the day they clarified it and thinking "Oh, it's updated! Oh... but not for the better. Probably 'cause of that!"

i pre-ordered on amazon and the supposed ship date is may 4. i am not sure that is really meaningful, though.
