Hi,

I would like to know what the difference is between the following two statements:
- "These designs are chosen for Crowdfunding on Februari 1st, 2026 at 8 AM
Pacific time
- "Pre-ordering starts on February 16th, 2026 at 8 AM Pacific time."

Both messages are from the Series 7-page. For months now the 1st message was
displayed, but now that the price of the sets has been announced the second message
can be seen and the pre-order date has been pushed back to the 16th.

Why is that? It is quite annoying as I work in shifts and I have to plan the
start of the crowdfunding months in advance to be sure to be free at that moment.

I don't really see a difference in meaning between the two statements.
I noticed the same thing on previous Series, but not on all of them.

Thanks in advance!

It’s the 16th.
The mention of the 1st must be from before they set the date.
