I didn't mean to sound like minimizing the valid concerns about dropping a relatively large amount of money on hopes of receiving a product. I spent less than this kit's total cost with its multiple add-on options than I did for an Elegoo Jupiter almost 5 months ago, and the printer hasn't shipped yet either. Then there's also that Wand Co. Tricorder which has been delayed by how long now? Or, how about dropping $3K to get on a waiting list for the C8 Corvette, and over a year later still no car. Elegoo, TWC, GM, etc are scamming people? Let's not forget what's happened globally during the last 2 years or the unexpected setbacks EAD had to endure while trying to get this kit manufactured. Again, the investment concerns are valid, and I've been told that at least two people have already been refunded and their orders cancelled. But I've been waiting almost as long for my Corvette as I have for this kit, and I'm out more than 12x the cost (including already-bought accessories) for the car than this model kit. Yes, there are bad apples out there and scammed people have a right to be wary, but there has been a bigger picture lately with supply issues, semiconductor shortages, cost increases, hospitalizations, etc. We've been told Excelsior kits will be shipping in April so let's give the guy a chance to make good on that before getting out the pitchforks and torches....
