So glad I saw this thread, I was looking to invest in one of these - Looks like I'll go back to saving up for the hardware myself and building a better rig. Just need to save, which will take time...
Thanks for the info, guys. I'm glad I didn't end up ordering.

Mayby they are working but for Yuorself for Yours money. They will say we will shipping in next month.. next next next = never.
Constant pushing up delivery date = don't know what we're doing. They may legitimately wish to sell asics but they don't know how to engineer them as evident by weekly updates stating there some new problem with the chip or the board they didn't anticipate.
Anyone had their product in hand?
The main issue, for me atleast, is the overriding question as to why they don't just run their products themselves? Surely their cost of capital is not so high that they can't finance construction without customer deposits and capture a nice spread as their mining produces fantastic returns?
You could use same logic with Avalon, and they have shipped. Hardware companies make hardware.

BFL have delivered FPGAs in the past. They also have some kind of a trade-in program. We'll see.
but there are also other coins that look like scam.

About BLF I find out few days ago, for me it's look like scam, they take money and give only promises
I would never go for one of their ASICS without a proof of concept
that's why I think is important to always stay with one type of coin.
others are scams...

Ceo was a convicted felon for fraud.
There's no way he'll deliver.

It's speculated that BFL have started to use the HW for themselves since the BTC rise a few months back. Maybe there are also some serious HW/SW bugs to catch and fix.
Some rumors they have some kind of prototype working: http://bitcoinmagazine.com/bitcoin-developer-receives-first-butterfly-labs-asic/
Question remains of course if and when they will be shipping.

BFL is an acronym for Big F**king Lie
Taking the money up front should tell you something...
