I'm in the same boat, sent my paperwork out 2/20. Had a conversation with a nice young lady named Vicki in customer service at the CMP today who told me they're currently processing orders from January and are back logged about 60 days. Looks like my issue with needing an FFL isn't going to delay my order anymore, she hadn't even seen my paperwork yet.
As for what else I might buy in 2013, I need reloading components. Specifically I need bullets but since everyone is out of stock presently doesn't look like I'll be getting any of them anytime soon.
