Patience Aaron! No need to start bashing our favorite toy company :)
As you can see in another thread, some of these sets are
already available at Legoland California, and the large Technic 8386 Ferrari
has been available in Shop@Home North America for over 1 week. So they will be
here, you just have to wait a little bit.... :)
You have to remember that Formula 1 is huge in Europe, and often appears as
front page news. Here (Toronto, Canada and probably the rest of North America)
you're lucky to find a small article on F1 buried somewhere near the back of the
sports section. So it makes sense for LEGO to release the first production runs
in Europe, probably coinciding with the European start of the F1 season last
month. The F1 circus arrives in North America for the Canadian and US GPs in
June, so I would suspect they'd be available for order by that time (either
from Shop@Home and probably at the races themselves).
I too am looking forward to the new sets, especially the Technic 8386.
I check shop.lego.com almost daily to see if all the Ferrari sets are available
to Canada yet.... :)
Play well!
