I don't understand the 8-week manufacturing time. It's a cute gag gift, but it comes with relatively steep £25/$40 price tag and won't be available for Christma

I don't understand the 8-week manufacturing time. It's a cute gag gift, but it comes with relatively steep £25/$40 price tag and won't be available for Christmas. That alone makes me think they've missed their one-shot to sell a significant number. Add to that the fact they've basically published the blueprints[1] it seems like the type of person who really wants one of these would maybe just make it themselves.
