So, if it gets to the printer mid-November, give a week or two for printing and shipping, my pre-order should arive late November early December, yes? That gives it a pretty decent chance of arriving on my birthday (November 30th)....
A week or two? Try four weeks for printing (both versions, so they can be shipped together), plus a week from the printers to Studio 2, plus another two to three weeks from there to distributors, and however long it takes
them to get it into stores (usually another two weeks, but it varies).
Again, that's for getting the product into
stores. Fortunately, we'll be able to send direct orders out as soon as they arrive from the printer, which means you'll see them much,
much earlier.
Another reason to buy direct from the source.

So... New Years then?
