Too old to say it this way, but:If you have an order in for a Factory 2nd it would be one of our weekly sales that we are currently working on fulfilling.

It will start getting less confusing. We are working on getting all of the orders from the weekly sales fulfilled and any additional GSO-4.1s and GSO-7/7s (firsts or seconds) will probably only be available on a quarterly basis. There won't be anymore Presale ordering. The GSO-3.5 and GSO-12 are the last Starter Campaign models and there are much less of those orders than there were for previous models. We've tried a lot of different things to try and find what works best for everyone and I think we have a pretty good system figured out for the future. But we still have to work our way through the past. Until we are fully caught up, there will probably still be some confusion.
We have some pretty ugly blades that had been piling up in the workshop. We also have some ugly handles. The two groups haven't been put together yet. We consider those orders to be weekly sales, which are being fulfilled in the order that they were placed. When we get to those August orders, we'll start the handle fitment and building process. In the meantime, they are in a bin waiting their turn.

Except that this thread (about how late the 4.1 seconds are) was started on July 28th.
