I may have misunderstood, but I was expecting the pre-order bonus of "multiverse-inspired digital dice" to be available at the time of purchase of the digital book. Any clarification is appreciated.
Pre-order Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse on D&D Beyond to unlock a set of multiverse-inspired digital dice and other character sheet cosmetic bonuses that will be added when the book is live.
From the marketplace product information. I hope that clears up any confusion.
[Edit]Not the most recent info, see comment below.

All pre-orders also come with book-themed character sheet cosmetics that will be available once the book goes live, May 17th.
That's the email that explicitly says that the dice are immediate while the sheet cosmetics are when the book goes live. Your quote from the marketplace could be read either way. It in fact clears nothing up since it is more vague than the email.
In fact it's so explicit that it delineates between when to expect the dice to be available, and when the sheets are available.
Seriously, stop parroting the same thing, and really read what you have posted.
"...unlock the astral dice set, AND receive character sheets when the book is live."
Even that quote can be read multiple ways due to it being vague. I'm happy to forward you the email if you want it. It's from the official email source.
As if to mock me, there's now a banner across the top of the DDB site offering the dice immediately.
I think you misunderstood my second comment about the banner that is worded differently and how how my previous comment is wrong.
To which: I didn't parrot the same thing, it is different. I did read it, that is why in the same comment I said it doesn't match what I previously read. And yes, the banner is what my second post mentioned and directly quoted.

I misread your second comment then, and apologize for that. I thought you had simply re-posted the same blurb from the marketplace page.
I'm not sure exactly how they do it, but I have several digital dice in my collection that have never been available on the marketplace. At least not that I can see.
Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden Dice Set
Sanguine Dice Set
Dice of Heroism
Fuzzy Dice Set
So if I had to guess I'd say it's unlikely that they will be made available separately, but that's just a guess.

New to Beyond, but does anyone know if these dice (or others tied to pre-orders) will be available separately?
Pre-order bonuses are not available separately (as of this time). But if you have a subscription (any), they give a few as perks based on a monthly theme.

yeah the email is confusing. It sounds like if we pre-ordered that we should have the multiverse dice available but I don't see it.

I never got an email (I have them turned off), but since posting my first comment, I did have this banner show up at the top of the page:
Which clearly matches what others (not my comment) have said.

Even better, here's a URL link to the email.

I now have the dice in my collection. Thanks for that then.

Nope, banner that time.
It has the word "instantly" added.

Those were monthly subscriber perks.
