The Stars were first supposed to be available in late November, 2001.
We have a very long waiting list of very patient customers (much more
patient than I would be). There have been many delays and emails from
us to them asking for explanations. They have tried to explain each
delay, almost all of which were supply problems of the ordered parts.

I received a fax from the factory yesterday morning. The text is below.

"The Star Sapphire and the Star Diamond will be undergoing the certification
process for safety standards which will take longer than we hoped because the
labs are busy (6-8 weeks). Providing we will not have to change the models, we
will go into mass production after that process. Please understand that we
cannot start mass production prior to the safety standard certification."
