Well, that was good/lucky timing on your part. Like Johnson said, above, they are built in batches and you must have just put your name in shortly before BJ made another batch, whereas thedude didn't and, as a result, had to wait almost a year.
Same thing happens with lots of boutique pedals that are made by hand by one person. I had to wait 14 months for a Pete Cornish order I recently received because last year he was consumed with doing some big custom jobs for some big time rock stars, whereas I know other guys who have just recently ordered the same things and they've been given estimated dates of delivery of April/May since he now is freed up to work on individual pedal orders.
And, hey, it could be worse, you could be waiting on a Toneczar Echoczar/Angelbaby. I know guys that have been on that list since 2007! Yikes!
It was quite lucky, Sebastian fro TGT11 told me wait times could be anywhere from 1-15 months (or possibly longer) and I understand Bjorn builds in batches.
Funny thing is, im on the list for something like 15 other pedals (including the echoczar/angelbaby). I just put the money away somewhere and kinda forget about it till the date comes around,
