@Windowsdeveloper13 the current advice is to keep checking your status at: https://holotechinfo.com
and to hang in with the rest of us in Wave 1 who have not received a buy link yet.
Based on the posts it looks like about 10 ish or so people get sent links each week (look like on Monday mornings typically).

Whoot Whoot. FedEx came a day early. HoloLens in hand. Of to the races peeps. See ya in the other threads.
@hotdogee - can you check if your MSA is either US or Canada please? Go to account.microsoft.com, login and check your profile details. Thanks! and holler if you have any further issues.
@Windowsdeveloper13 - we hope to get to you soon
I agree with @HoloSheep, it seems they batch out the next set of links every Monday. So that would be the day to obsessively check your email...
Unfortunately the Poll functionality in these forums does not seem to allow us to change or update our original answers, so just a quick roll call here in the thread...
to get a sense of where things are at in Wave 1:

Magic Monday
YES!
Chocolate Factory here I come!
Okay... so the link is blue but it looks golden to me
(even if the authentication database hasn't yet been updated with my email as mentioned by others in different threads, it is a relief to finally receive this email)

I got my order invite, but the store does not give me the ability to enter a Canadian billing address (I have a client subsidizing this development). I have emails in and a dozen calls and hours on wait to the store support -- don't expect much from a phone call. After nearly 4 hours of trying I have yet to speak to a human.
Hip Hip Hurray!
One of the two devices in my order arrived today.
Weird, FedEx seems to have separated the two boxes in Memphis, one took the longer path and should arrive Monday.
The good news is that my weekend just got a whole lot more interesting!

Does anybody know what happens with your invite, if you let your 10 day purchase window lapse? It says the next developer in line gets to make their purchase then, but will my invitation stand to be valid for the next units in line or will I now have to wait until wave 5 (or whatever is after wave 4)? I had to have mine lapse two days ago due to a billing problem (credit card not accepted)...
Cognitive augmentation is going to become real now. You better watch out!
Still waiting for my invite, how quick do they come once ordered?
@filharvey pretty darn fast considering they are coming from Shanghai, China.
My experience was:

Agreed, pretty darn fast. Ordered on Tuesday, signed for both units on Friday (Seattle).
@HoloSheep sounds good, just need MS to send me the order email asap :-)
Mondays seem to be the day.... maybe you will be up this week @filharvey
@HoloSheep @Jesse_McCulloch yep got the link today, will be ordering this week.
Just got the link today!
@dorian - had you reached out to our store support by any chance? If you had trouble purchasing, we do our best to enable you until you can complete your purchase. Let me know if you want me to follow up on this,
Thanks
