Simply a case of Calibre Wings not having time to have the samples redone before the show in Tokyo (travel arrangements, space rented, etc.).
Production versions should be available in a couple of weeks - so comments at that time
allegedly will carry a
lot more weight. That will be the time for collectors to express their final approval or not.
