The release has been delayed by a week due to a Typhoon:
Always interesting to see the different cultures of companies in different regions. While TPC issues an extensive apology for a one week delay due to circumstances completely outside of their control, I don’t think I can recall TPCi issuing any sort of apology for month long delays of their products due to supply chain problems a few years ago (or, you know, even announcing the delays publically).
Best place to buy it cheaper than on eBay?
Are you looking for the promo card or the box?
Well the three shops that I know best are already sold out. There are however others (Pokeari, TCGHobby, PokeWayne) that I found with a Google search selling it for lower prices than ebay, can’t directly speak for them though.
TCGHobby and PokeWayne sell only boxes i will try Pokeari, thanks 
Just the promo card
I think Pokéari also only sells the box. For single cards I haven’t found anything below ebay prices (so below $100) unfortunately.
Check with @yamahap45 might have ordered an extra one
I ordered 4 of them through EXP Share Collectibles when the pre-orders first dropped last month. It looks like he has a restock of the pre-orders up now. You have to do the monthly sub for $15 but I bought more than 1 so it wasn’t a huge deal and cancelled the membership after the purchase.
**The monthly sub maybe just to have access to the pre-order for the first day so you may not have to get that now…FYI
