Also this will be a low volume item, which means that TRD Japan will wait until they have a batch of orders before they produce them to ship out. That's the reason behind the estimated 45 day turn around time. They are not a mom and pop shop that builds to each order. They are a full scale manufacturing facility, so its not cost effective for them to setup there assembly line just to build one item at a time. The cost of overhead is just too great.

Yes, I know they are made to order. Hence why I hoped somebody ordered a few so I didn't have to wait for them to be built.

I'm very much aware of how TRD is not a mom and pop shop lol.. wtf...

However, they DO only make one at a time. They are truly built to order. This info is straight from the japanese horse's mouth..

Peace
