I think this is an issue with the hobby in general really; things are revealed so loooooooong in advance of them actually being finished/released and you just end up with literally years of speculation, back and forth on what people think, how they look, etc. Plus you feel compelled to make purchasing decisions before you even know what you're getting. I personally wish the finished versions would be unveiled 6 months before they ship, but I get that pretty much negates all the payment plan stuff.
Hell this statue will be a great example of it; everyone flips out when it's first unveiled, a lot of those same people change their minds because they don't think much of the initial paint job, and some of those people will inevitably change their minds again 2 or 3 times before it ships due to changes.
I'd rather not know about these things this far in advance, but I get that they're expensive and they're trying to help people plan. And considering how the ordering process currently works I kind of HAVE to know in advance.
