At least the over-designed, under-performing TDI Kriss Super V Vector XSMG Take Care TCB, shock it to me... oh... that is at least being produced now. I hate vaporware, it's like getting lied to. Ruger used to have a 1-2 year delay between announcement and delivery. Lately, they've been doing pretty good about holding off on the announcement until they've at least tooled-up.
Bushmaster, on the other hand, announces, THEN starts to design, redesign, hold production, make excuses, etc. I don't like suspense. If you announce it, I want the UPS truck pulling up outside the distributors' doors within a week. Otherwise, you're just a tease.
