It's good & bad from my perspective. Good in that I like the shorter wait, bad in that it's much more difficult to plan out your collecting budget.

I wish the wait times were longer but not for financial reasons. If Weta messes up on some aspect of a statue it's too late to do anything about it by the time it's noticed. I'm not thrilled by the 1-1.5 year wait times of Prime 1 statues but it does allow them to correct any mistakes/flaws prior to shipping.

I would think that Weta puts these in production 8 months to a year before pre order. I would think they still have time to fix issues and just push out the pre order date.

I'm sure they will work it out for you. I got my Lurtz, Azog and Balrog. Still waiting on my Staff and shipping notice for the 1/1 Gollum, which seems to be taking for ever.

They are also priced accordingly. I think WETA stuff is overpriced for what you get. Not bad, just priced way higher than other companies for the same amount of polystone. But I get that they have a forgiving, captive audience with LOTR.
