I paid on 9/1, so maybe ours was/will be from the same batch. I haven't received mine yet. Seems like most people end up waiting a month, though some have received them in just two weeks.The advice given throught this thread has been to PM Dirk, who makes and ships the DVDs.
A lot of people have posted here because they don't know the status of their order. I think this is understandable because we are all eager to take advantage of such a huge collection of work. It is hard to sit still patiently when you can't see any light at the end of the tunnel: notification that the DVD has been mailed out. I realize that doing this would be a major burden on those running this operation, though. If the vast majority of DVDs arrive within a month, then it is probably only necessary to reply to the most problematic cases (such as those who ended up canceling their payments!).
I don't know about other people, but I am really anal about planning the layout of my cities. My roads basically form an elegant grid structure. Since I place my roads based on the buildings available to me, I actually use a grid in Microsoft Excel to figure out which buildings should fit where in what orientation before I go into SC4 to build. With the prospect of greatly expanding my plugin library, you can bet that I'm really excited about the new blueprints that I'll be able to come up with.
I uninstalled SC4 after ordering my DVDs so that I can get work done before my they arrive!
