Really excited for the new MBV even if they didn't make the 2012 self imposed deadline.

Agreed.
The tour is coming, so even if we don't get a STUDIO release (we probably will, all they have to do is artwork and site development), bootlegs are confirmed to have new goodies, but expect Ecstasy quality, at the most.
And there is also a probability that the band will give promo copies to select organisations and individuals, and these will leak sometime soon after their issue.
