Im not sure how this could be read as good news. No where does it say how long it will take to build the remaining pandoras. We are going to be in the end of october just to have all the parts made according to the table. Then they have to be shipped to china to be assembled (as far as I can tell thats whats happening). Then after assembly, they go back to Craig and ED for distribution. It seems like the earliest the 3895 orders will be filled is the end of november.
They are being assembled in Texas, not China. And how did you get "end of october" from that table? Once the case mould is made hundreds (If not thousands) of cases can be created daily. It won't take hardly any time at all to create the 4000 cases, certainly not 1 whole month. The production run of 3895 boards and the keymats would be manufactured in parallel with that. Final assembly couldn't take very long either, and FCC testing needs only 1 production unit, not all 105.
Worst case scenario according to the chart would be FCC testing finishing around Oct 9th, marking the shipment of the first 105. Arriving on your doorstep around Oct. 14th or 15th.
Best case scenario would put FCC testing finishing around Sept 29th, with a landing date around Oct 6th or 7th.
Add in a 1 or maybe 1 1/2 week delay between the 105 and first round of the 3895, and there you have it. Mid to Late October, solid, no matter how you slice the pie.
