    The build ETAs fluctuates depending on the availability of certain parts. The ETA provided is the best estimate of the part being held up the longest, i.e. not currently in stock. If all parts are in stock, it only takes a couple of days to complete production.
    Items are usually shipped out in batches in order to ease logistics and reduce overheads, so that's why sometimes it may take quite a while before a completed unit is actually scanned.
