They will be in the hands of developers. It's not much different to many of the fpgaArcade boards going to developers and testers. The time and cost to solder and test the boards is disappointing. It seems that the Vampire and fpgaArcade are both having problems in this regard.
Speaking about the FPGAArcade Replay board ...
While this is true - the first 50 of the production batch I had to hand solder all the connectors (and it takes ages), I'm past that now. The next batch of 100 game fully assembled, but had some component issues which needed to be replaced.
Now the test rigs and software are set up they can test at the factory, so the next 200 will arrive ready to ship. Well, that's the theory at least..
