Actually, it means a logistical quandary for LEGO - where do they store your
order while waiting for the rest of it to arrive or be manufactured, and if
they've already got part of it anyway, why woudn't you want it right away?
A lot of places don't have a very large shipping department, this is because
they don't want to spend money maintaining a vast and mostly empty space.
I do agree though that they could save money and pack the freebie with the
second box. ;)
