I'm anxious to take a look at the color before I pull the trigger although I'm trigger happy now.

because as early as 4-22-15 there was mention* that thanks to info from Ken Fichtner the new red color option code was indeed G1E.
Currently the NCM 2016 specs list that same color code for LBR. Plus the touch up paint WA 405.

I finally got an allocation on Thursday. I'm hoping it gets picked up Tuesday.
At least I finally have some movement!

OK they were suppose to build some of these LBR cars this week.
Has anyone seen one? Has anyone been through the tour seen one?
We know someone saw some parts floating around with this color but has anyone seen a car being released this week with this color?
Inquiring minds need to know.
My TPW is next week and I'd like to know if they intend to build it or not? Anyone?

I'm in the same boat as you. At least after 2.5 months things are finally moving (ordered on June 2). Anticipating TPW to be given tomorrow.
