My hat was one of the first three shipped (size 62) and it finally arrived yesterday (1/25/13). I plan on doing a diamond bash tomorrow and I'll post a few pics.
I'm the third lucky person! This is the first time it has been good to have a large melon. I'm thinking of a diamond bash because I already have a teardrop and a center dent in my other two Campdrafts.
