Just an FYI, I picked up an Asus Maximus Hero from Microcenter on Long Island today and it was a c2.
Is your serial number D6M... or D8M...?

Mine is D6M and it's a C2. Purchased at Microcenter.
I think it depends on the board... Keep in mind there are large warehouses (not just Amazon & Newegg & Microcenter) that ASUS ships to - basically distribution centers. Who knows how long and how many (C1)boards are sitting in the distribution centers still. It may be a while before less-popular boards like the Gryphon, for example, show up in C2. There still might be hundreds or thousands of C1s still sitting in various distro centers...
Only ASUS could tell us the true manufacturer date changover to C2.
Do you know the date of manufacture for your gene/hero?
If you search the web for the model number, 90MB0DY0-M0EAY5, you will only find this C2 motherboard for sale in Europe. None in the United States online retailers. Same goes for other models, like the Z87 Sabertooth. It appears that Asus is dumping all the old early revision boards on America to sell them out before they will release the C2 versions here.

I have been waiting to buy a ASRock Z87E-ITX motherboard with the C2 stepping chip in the U.S. I have asked but not found anyone who has gotten one from Newegg. Newegg cannot tell if what they have in the warehouse is C2 or not. I got a list of Internet based authorized dealers off of ASRock's website. I contacted SuperBiiz.com and they checked their stock in the warehouse and sent me the following email confirming what they told me:
"Its nice to talk to you on phone. I just checked with our warehouse staff and confirmed that our MB-Z87EITX are all C2 version. For our return policy, please check http://www.superbiiz.com/rma.php."
Their price was the same as Neweggs but they had a $5 coupon code (until Oct 28th) under "Deals" on their homepage. ASRock is giving a $15 rebate on all Z87E-ITX motherboards purchased before October 28th, so after rebates the cost will be $130 delivered. I have gone ahead and ordered it.
Do you have a microcenter nearby? I saw a bunch of C2 Asrock mini-ITX boards there.I have been waiting to buy a ASRock Z87E-ITX motherboard with the C2 stepping chip in the U.S. I have asked but not found anyone who has gotten one from Newegg.

I just received a Z87-Pro from Newegg with C2 stepping.
It used the same model number and the packaging as the old stepping. The only way to tell was run CPU-Z and check BIOS.

I started to suspect that the aritcal saying asus would use a new part number does not apply to US.
Received Asus Hero board. It is a C2. Original part number. Serial number starts with D8M.
You get it from an e-tailer or a big box store? I am tired of waiting and might get buy a MF6 today from amazon. My current rig is crashing on BF4 mid game which is annoying.
My Maximus VI Z87 Impact is C2.
Would you able to share with us where, when you bought it, part number, first 3 letters of serial number?
