Delays have a way of accumulating. Each set before LightCycle was delayed for its own reasons, stacking one delay upon another. After LightCycle, Dasher/Dancer will presumably get its chance at the plate. That too will probably be delayed for some reason, pushing Round 6 phase 2 out by a couple of months, which will push out whatever comes after that, etc.
It's a miracle that double-shot sets ever get delivered at all. But they eventually do. Waiting (a long, long time) is simply part of the process. I've been waiting since Summer 2015 for my Round 6 "Honeywell" caps, and it will most likely be Spring 2018 before I get them. The wait for LightCycle feels miniscule by comparison.
