They shipped Jala's for almost 2 months before shipping other stuff. You feel they should have just sat on the Jala product they could ship?
That's what they promised, so yes, they should have sat on them. Don't promise what you won't deliver. In fact, they're still promising it, and they're still not doing it. LIES.
Each product is its' own product. You order a Jalapeno, you're in the jalapeno queue.
FALSE. "the order queue". There is one queue. All orders go into it. This is also proved by BFL claiming that upgrading an order, such as a Jalapeno to a Little Single, would not change the position of the order in the queue. They are lying about the order queue to this day.
It is hindsight, so it wasn't obvious. But seeing how things played out, it's understandable. Disappointing for many, I'm sure, but at least its understandable.
What hindsight? Those quotes are from BFL's website today.
