I just got a build week of Oct. 12th. Then delivery will be another month.
Have the same build date. Good luck! Hope it doesn't push further.

Looks like things are definitely moving.
Ordered my Magnetic Platinum (no options) on 8/22/15
Got the Unscheduled clear on 09/10/15
Got my build date and VIN on 09/17/15 (building week of Oct 19).
Hopefully we will all have our vehicles soon.

Whew!!! Finally got a Vin number after 3 months. Is there a web site to go to get the window sticker and build date with a vin number?

Yes. Follow instructions in the "sticky" at the top of this thread. Here's a link:

For my Platinum, the window sticker became available exactly seven days prior to the build date listed on the window sticker. If your window sticker isn't available, you'll get a message saying that your VIN wasn't found in the system. Just keep trying every day until you get it.

Ill guess the Platinums are starting to roll. Last week there was only 5 Platinums in my NY, NJ extended inventory and today there are 21 Platinums.
Sadly none of those is my Special Order. But that's ok. I am waiting very patiently for mine to arrive.

I received my Vin # today . Thanks Tricia so much for the update. Not bad considering that my order was received by Ford on August 18 and I do believe that the Vin # was given out on Friday September 18.
Order was placed with my dealer on Saturday August 15.
Tricia confirmed with me that the order was received by Ford on August 18.
Vin # was provided on September 18 .
Now all I am waiting for is for the Window Sticker which will have the build date on the Platinum.
GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT.

As always, I’ll be here to provide the status of your orders. Judging by your posts, many of you have already read my replies.
Please continue to check in with me or your sales manager for updates. If you’re new to the neighborhood, I can be reached here.
Happy Monday, and chat with you soon!
