I've added the following updates to the main A380 production post.
The next delivery of parts for an A380 is expected to take place in a complete convoy over four days from January 21-24, 2008. The convoy will contain both the left and right wings, the horizontal tail plane and forward, middle and aft fuselages. It is unknown which MSN this aircraft belongs to.
Please contact me if you are aware of which aircraft will be getting these parts.
As always, If you feel that there are required changes or additions to any of this information, please do not hesitate to contact me at flightblogger (at) gmail (dot) com or leave comments.
Latest updates below the fold.
