Well I guess there was a mass email sent out to backers just to verify their mailing address was still current in leadup to mailing the CDs out. I got one, and approved it as it was, since no changes for me.

I’m wondering when those of us who pre-ordered will be getting something.

I understand everyone's thoughts about the long delay. This is my first major production in audio drama as a producer and it had been a difficult road with both the technical and creative aspects. With Sherwood Sound Studios, I'm not intending to become the mass producer of content that Big Finish is, in comparison to other independent audio drama producers. All I want to achieve is the production of the best, most realistic sounding stories. I had no idea how long it would take me to create such an immersive, realistic world while getting the faithfulness of the 1897 story accurate, especially on top of a day job. If the end result is exceptional with fans of the original source very happy with it then I'm more than happy too. The original 1897 The War of the Worlds is a story I've wanted somebody to adapt faithfully for years! This still hasn't been done and I believe our adaptation finally achieves this. Future productions from Sherwood Sound Studios will never be crowdfunded or announced until the work is completed and manufacturing begins as this is the only time we can be sure of a firm release date and no delays. With this being our first production, and without any budget to begin with, we really needed the funding very early to get the actors we wanted in the studio and recorded. I can only apologise for these delays and assure you that the end product is something very special. I'm extremely proud of what Nick, Lisa and myself have achieved with this adaptation. Is this out of stock? I know its unavailable on Amazon wish you luck with the product though

It seems to be available to order through his website. At least, I saw a live page for ordering on the site yesterday.
I pre-ordered almost a year ago, but it was delayed for a variety of reasons, some of them documented in this thread.
I did get access to the pre-release download provided to the Kickstarter backers, as it was also provided to the people who pre-ordered long ago, as I did.

It looks good package and actors am a sucker for the tale since I was a kid and that wasn’t yesterday

I've just had delivery of the linen USB cases with presentation boxes. Still waiting for the actual USB sticks. The CD's arrive tomorrow and the DVD is being manufactured. Hopefully I can get everything off to everyone by early September at the latest, but please bear with me as this is a new business and it's basically just me. Shipping over 800 products will take a couple of weeks and every part of the Collector's USB Edition package (box labels, numbered stickers, booklet, USB stick) all come from separate suppliers I will be putting together myself. I will have some help from the family though. This time next month everyone that has currently ordered and backed our original Kickstarter project will have their products...and I will have a long overdue holiday!

Update #81
Aug 22 2018 CD's Arrive from Sony DADC 0 Comments 2 likes
Hi all,
Today I received delivery of the 2-disc CD's. There is now an extra bonus on this CD, which is a selection of the music score as posted recently.
I will begin to ship these soon and the DVD and USB are on their way. These will take longer due to the extra content added and time it took to compile extras.
Please remember to fill in your surveys otherwise I cannot send you your rewards. The survey has been sent from Kickstarter so please check your inbox, 'other' inbox and junk folder.
Best regards,
Martin

Anyone in the US receive their copy? Don't worry, they're on their way via airmail so 5-7 days. I'm spending a little more on postage to try to get them out in time for Christmas.
