WNW Albatros observation

I'm chewing my pillow in anticipation over the new WNW releases, don't get me wrong.
But why do you suppose that with two DVs on the way, not one option has lozenge? Didn't about half of the production have 4 color?

I have to admit I'm slightly puzzled by the omission of lozenge-clad options; it might indicate that there's decal sheets awaiting in the wings to be offered as 'aftermarket' options or that there will be later/'special' editions as have been mentioned, but it does feel like an opportunity missed perhaps, to offer these up whilst anticipation is at its height?

It surely would have been ideal to offer either the lozenge decals simultaneously with the initial release or to launch, say, the DVa with 5-colour options?

Patience is a virtue. So I'm told, anyway...

Because the 5 colour sheets won't be available until mid summer. Per Richard Alexander.
