Same here in Hungary, but don't forget it was Christmas time with zillions of mails, so the delay is understandable, or they just mailed them so those living in America logically get them some time before we do.
I live in the US and I still haven't gotten mine yet either.
I haven't got anything yet. How long does it usually take them to get everything out? I think I had about 8 points when they announced they were ending the program so I should be getting something. Mostly what I really want is the DCI card.
I got my Dragon's Egg for Christmas and I'm loving it so far. I haven't had the chance to take it to a tournament yet but I will Friday night. So far everything I want to put in it has fit except my rolled up play mat, but that didn't fit in the fat pack box I was using before either. If you want to carry around more than 4-5 decks or you have multiple big decks or EDH decks then you might want to look into something a bit bigger, but for a few decks and accessories for a tournament I don't think you can go wrong with this thing.
I haven't had the chance to test this out yet, but it looks pretty good on paper, I'd like to know what you all think. I like the recursion from Nim Deathmantle, Mimic Vat, and Renegade Doppelganger. Keep bringing creatures back and/or copying them to keep pressure on the opponent. I think what's really going to win the games though is the Livewire Lash. I'm running 12 targeted spells, 4 of which have rebound so it's almost like running 16. That's way more than enough to power the Lash to victory. A turn 4 win is pretty easy with this one.
i would also add verdant catacombs or cheap fetch lands so this way u can get the land you need to cast. also i would take out the llanowar elves and Overwhelming Stampede. with the birds your good on a mana producer. Overwhelming Stampede isnt needed since it would be hard to get it off with a big creature out there. giant growth would be better. also u would look into mimic vat and where is the Putrefax?
I'm not sure you understand the point of the deck. It's not just about the infect, it's about the Overwhelming Stampede as well. Pump up the creatures with the Stampede and bowl over the opponents creatures with trample to get the poison counters. If I take out the Stampedes, I might as well change the entire deck. About the only thing I'd consider taking the Stampedes out for would be Garruk Wildspeaker for his ultimate ability, but I'm also trying to keep the cost of this deck to a reasonable amount.

I still haven't received mine yet either. Does anyone know how long it usually takes Wizards to get this stuff out to everyone?

I'm not a big fan of Putrefax but it would work in the deck, especially with the Mimic Vat. I could take out the Contagion Engines, Contagion Clasps, and the Llanowar Elves and put in 4x Putrefax and 4x Mimic Vat. Is only having the 4x Birds of Paradise going to be enough mana acceleration?
Here's an updated list.
