So from what I saw, the leather loop (at least black or blue) wasn't available for 4-6 weeks immediately when the store launched. I downgraded to the base SS with the black sport band. However, when I went to the accessory page, I was able to get a blue leather loop for a delivery date of April 29.. How can they not have full sets available for launch but have the separate band available? Anyone able to get a leather loop version with a normal delivery date?

Noticed the same issue. I just ordered the brown leather loop separate and ordered the base black flubber band.

Because these are not BTO products. They are boxed as a set when ordered as a set. The separate bands are separate. Totally different avenues of logistics. Simple as that.
 
I understand that they are packaged separately..just don't understand the choice to make them available earlier as separate accessories rather than as the full set.
