Scott Prospect Roll off problems?

So I ordered a Scott prospect with roll off on the second day of Christmas last year. It was a pre-order so I knew it was probably gonna take a while before I would get the goggle. Well, I'm still waiting for the goggle.

Apparently Scott is still fixing some little flaws on the roll off system. (at least that's what the distributor says) They sold some roll off systems back in I think like November but shortly after that they discovered some problems with it? (That's what I was told.)

To me it sounds kinda weird, they've been advertising with the prospect roll off for a few months and it still isn't available. Are there any insiders on here who know more about this?

Here in Czech republic have also ordered few pieces and still we have not. What they say me the issues are in production, other countries (i think USA) have precedence over the rest of the world.

I have two sets with the rolls offs.

Haven't used them yet, but hope there is no problem with them.

Exactly.

OT: Still waiting for some insider to step in. I think maybe what David says about the USA makes sense.

I just got an email from the shop I ordered my goggles. They sent me a quoted email directly from the distributor.
I did my best to translate it to English:

Unfortunately Scott told us today that the roll off systems for the prospect aren't gonna be delivered anytime soon.

Scott changed the delivery date a few times but they didn't come with an exact date. We can't promise something we can't live up to. In this case we are totally dependent on Scott.

Why later?

During the testing of the Prospect roll off system, Scott discovered a problem. (with plusminus 3 out of 10 systems)

That's the reason why Scott stopped everything.

At first they thought it was the film which wasn't coiled tight enough which could cause them to clip.

In some cases, this happened to be the solution but apparently the canisters also need some change to optimize the system.

Scott is currently testing this new design and will start production again as soon as it's approved.

The estimated delivery is now 8 weeks.

Luckily I found some other shop which still had a Prospect with roll off in stock. Should come in the mail tomorrow. Just hope I don't get one of the 3 out of 10 which have a problem.
