Much as I was afraid of.
(Note, that I _still_ don't have mine yet...)

S@H doesn't have the systems to handle customized ordering (bad MRP system).
And, they can't afford to let this continue much longer, they certainly can't
afford to re-order parts or ship out so many extra parts on one order.

Sooo, it will be interesting to see what happen next. :-)
Will they fix their MRP/BOM problems????
OR, will they stop shipping out these customized orders/sets....???

I believe it might easily be the latter.
Time to buy the Mosaic, before they stop selling them altogether.
(I wonder what they might fetch on ebay when they've become super-rare...)

(...) I don't see why the mosaic should be hard for them to ship. Ultimately, because of how it's packaged, its just a group of sets which are ordered in a somewhat bizarre way. Ok, I guess they do package the thing into a "set" box, and then into a (...) (24 years ago, 13-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade, lugnet.lego.direct)
