Give it a couple of weeks - I believe RC mentioned something about stock coming in within the next two to three weeks in another thread.

We're running out of a "couple of weeks" to give.

What's your deadline? I don't have any inside info, but from previous years most of the suppliers have their stock ready by early to mid December.

I obviously can't speak for Sean, but we try to have most of our pre-season purchasing done before Thanksgiving, to avoid the December shipping rush. About all we have left are fasteners and metal stock.

All products are in work, and we hope to have mostly everything in stock by 12/15, with all items in stock by Kickoff.

We appreciate the interest in additional VEXpro items. We consider this product line to be fairly mature. While we talked about a variety of things we could do for 2017, many of these are niche products and don't make sense for us to provide. The VersaPlanetary upgrade is the biggest change for this season. There are some other small things coming out, but due to manufacturing delays we don't know exactly when they'll be available. We're sensitive to the needs of teams, and since we can't guarantee a date we decided it is probably best to just "launch them once they're available" so that no one is depending on them in their design. As these small items roll out, we'll post announcements here.
