Does anyone know where you’ll be able to buy the DGT Pegasus in the USA?

Thanks for reading. I’m super excited for the Pegasus, which is basically the Centaur but will allow you to play games on Chess.com live. It’s supposedly releasing on November 4th and I see the option to preorder on European and Australian online shops, but nothing in the States. House of Staunton told me they have no plans to sell it. I want to get one as soon as possible. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
They don't have anything up on their website, but you should contact Chess House (chesshouse.com). They offer a decent array of electronics. I'm rather interested in the Pegasus myself so Ive been checking around too.

I have purchased two sets of weighted DGT pieces from Schach Niggemann. Their prices were much cheaper, even with shipping from Germany, than any of the sellers in the US. They have the Pegasus listed for $292 USD, including shipping.

Thanks for the replies. I’ve seen November 4th availability for ordering on a couple of sellers’ websites. DGT was wisely vague and said November in their email to me. Makes sense in case something goes wrong and it misses any date they could have told me.
I cannot wait for this board. I’m excited.

I was waiting impatiently for the Pegasus to be available, but then pulled trigger on an Millenium Exclusive instead.
Why ?
(1) Turns out pegasus will be connecting using this feature on chess.com apps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC6HyZtg4XQ&t=80s . I would rather play with wooden pieces instead
(2) USCF sales was running a 20% discount on site and Millenium exclusive + chesslink + battery was priced at $799 before applying the discount code (SALE20) https://www.uscfsales.com/chess-boards/electronic-chess-boards/the-millennium-exclusive-luxe-edition-chess-e-board-b.html
