Well, at least they're consistent. Like everything else from them, it's delayed.

There must be more to it than just being under maintenance. Any business relying on taking orders could have a totally new site ready in much less time.

At Wondercon Gino told me he was the guy working on the website. Maybe he can answer that question...
There are only two explanations for the whole website thing 1) They hired the same team that did the Healthcare.gov site or 2) The company is in trouble. Seriously, I work in the IT world and I have done migrations from Novell to Microsoft for an entire school district (45+ locations, 40,000+ users) in less time than it has taken their site to get "fixed". I think this was the last straw for a lot of people, I gave them the benefit of the doubt, thinking they had some pretty big bumps in the road but are finally listening to the customers and are going to prove their abilities and capabilities to deliver a product on time and without using the pre-order model (which most people would have been hesitant to do anyway).
No one will argue they have a lot of talented people on staff and make some awesome products. Unfortunately they are really suffering on the business side of the house and are unable to deliver on anything. Personally, I think they will end up releasing at least the standard version, probably in time for the holiday season.

Which one is the 1977 Don Post? Left or right?
(just kidding)
That 1977 Don Post looks different than other ones because the one shown in this picture is one of the earliest DP Standard Vader helmets produced, evidenced by the recessed chin vent and the different dome design and trim.

The website thing is a huge red flag for me. As others have said, there is pretty much no good reason it would be down for so long.
Here's the box:

Here I am in all my glory in 1978.
And why, yes, that IS a calculator I'm using for the chest box! Plus, welder's gloves spray-painted black, a dyed sheet for the cape, and my dad's old bathrobe with the sleeves cut off for the inner tunic. There was no RPF back then so I didn't know any better...

Let's all keep in mind that until 2016 their In Development page had products scheduled for release in "2009".
I wouldn't be surprised if their website is down for "maintenance" for years to come.
I'm happy at least I got the standard Vader helmet. Still hoping the SE comes through. But not holding my breath.

Am I the only one who wonders how it can be that a certain person always pops up to sell his t-tracks, but seems to be diving deeper than the Nautilus if it comes to problems or questions regarding efx delivery ?

Nope, you're not the only one. He'll pop right up to sell his or bash other member's so he must monitor the boards pretty closely. Other members have mentioned it too.
