D850 Grip?

Has anyone heard when we can expect the D850 grip to ship? An extra battery would be nice too.
I got my grip with the body ordered at the same time, they didn't mention any shortage of grips. I coincidentally bought an extra 15a which was they had in normal stock. The 15a has replaced the 15 AFAIK so is the same as that for the D810 D500 etc now so should be available anywhere.
 
Grips on back order at Adorama and B&H. I wonder how many of us that pre-ordered D850 also grabbed the grip? For me I want the extra 2 frames.
 
I ordered my D850 through Best Buy, and hey didn't have he grip so o had to order it elsewhere. Grip is back ordered, but I got the camera, so I'm not complaining too much. :D. I have my online order still open, but I'll prolly frequent the local camera store since I am betting they'll have grips before my B&H order sees light of day.
 
I don't know of any one in the US who has a grip or extra battery. Hopefully soon love the camera but with a 400 2.8 could use the vertical release button
 
I did a late preorder (couple days before release date) from B&H, and the camera and the grip were backordered.

I also ordered an XQD reader and a pair of XQD cards - the reader was shipped, but the cards are also backordered.

I did not order the Nikon battery since I would then have also had to add the charger and a battery door. Because of the ridiculous price, and because Nikon made the old large batteries and charger obsolete when the D800e came out, I balked at buying it. Found a $79 Smartree battery (includes charger, doesn't need a $26 battery door) for my D800e and D810. Both batteries still working fine after several years. I suspect they will fit the new grip. If so, I'll buy a 3rd cheap battery. Listening there Nikon?
