very frustrating considering i've paid for it all
You should have asked them to 'put it aside for you' instead then you could simply have changed your mind at a later date.
My understanding is that the problem with the selector supply is that they are so hard to make that the tooling needs to be upgraded - hence the delay.
Patience is a virtue

You are a big fan of Viet stuff though aren't you? Wouldn't you rather wait for one of the inevitable copies?
Was that Mr Days, he was telling me he planed to try it out this season. I know he feels there wont be any issues. Not sure if hes using the F1 version though.

I think the plan is to try the standard one to find out what its limits are.
