According to Wikipedia, in 2008, the first day of Spring was March 21 on the East Coast, and March 20 on the West Coast. If say, you ordered your VC a month or so later, that would put your order date in late April. There was another member that said he ordered his VCs on April 22, 2008, and he was #8. He got his in August 2008.

Though I ordered in mid-February, I was told that I was #13, and was told that I could get mine in September, but was tricked into having them "hold and tag the 3 plants with my name on them" until this Spring. When I finally got my plants this year, I found out that they in fact released those 3 in September to others who had ordered.

I think that if you order a lot from them, they will move you up the line. Unless, of course, if all you ordered were VCs! So, those members who are on the waiting list, order some more plants and watch your name get moved up the line.
