I'm not waiting, but then I haven't ordered. Fortunately I have about 3 new blades left. Almost got a new one at Hobby Lobby the other day, but when I looked and it said $5.99, I told my DH I'll just order them on the internet. But HF shows a back order. Maybe I should order now, even if I don't get them until October. For the price, that is a huge difference. We don't have an HF around here that I know of.
