Although I never received a shipping notice, my Wing Commander DVD from DVD Box Office arrived this weekend. I've heard of a few others getting theirs as well, so if you don't receive any word about yours in the next few days you might want to contact DVD Box Office. Their support address is customercare@dvdboxoffice.com.
