IMO, based on one vendor who has been 'ratted' on and has confirmed magazines seized as of recent, all I can do is speculate, but I do have a feeling that it is almost over if they are operating for the same length as last year...
This is based on other members' successful transactions with a particular vendor followed by a number of those (myself included) whose ship dates were a couple days (to a week) later than those whose mags made it without a hitch. Myself and another highly-ranked individual at IOP have had a very close ship date as well as an almost identical 'shuffle' of our birds where they appeared to be 'unsure of where to go next'...
Neither of these movements have been seen, personally, (or heard of) by us, EVER, until now. One of mine looks as if it's back in flight and no longer 'being looked at'...
Though, whether or not the bird is back on rote to its intended destination, has yet to be seen. There is still the possibility that it is indeed back on course, to a different area or grave. Hopefully a controlled delivery is not being considered. Mine has 1 of 3 possibilities as of today...it arrives, it's headed to a 3rd check, or a CD may happen considering it's 'still on the map'.
If it turns up and in good shape...I'd be inclined to say that the worst is over, if not all of it.
I know this isn't very 'scientific' in an approach to answer the question, but my gut feeling rarely lets me down. I'm anticipating a report to come out about XII within the next 1 to 2 weeks.
We shall see...
Staying calm.
