I've been following this thread with some interest, since I likewise couldn't resist ordering the L&H set. I placed my order on Jan 13, and it came in today's mail. So take heart Joe, I also live in NYC, in one of the "outer boroughs", so you should be getting your package very soon.
BTW, on the package tracking, the last update that I had was the departure scan from Croyden on Jan. 17.
