Production delays were caused by a misuderstanding in orders at the factory. Initially HL ordered 250 of the white hulled ones, then decided to increase the production run to 500 and placed a second order for 250.

The factory thought this was a duplicate of the first and didn't make them. Since most of the white hulled pieces are sold as matched-number sets with the red hulled ones, the entire order was held up until the balance of the white ones could be completed.

The latest delivery date to Maine is mid-November which, given the time for containers to reach there, makes it seem probable that the pieces are actually on the sea or will be shortly.

GLLKA got an airshipment of a quantity. Apparently they aren't sold out yet.

When you get yours, I'm sure you'll just love it! I've seen a pair of the GLLKA pieces and was very impressed. Think of it as having to wait until Christmas to open your presents, even though you know what you are getting.
