Snap\u2019s new flying camera, the $230 Pixy drone, went on sale last week \u2014 but the earliest buyers were told they\u2019d have to wait three months to actually get the gadget. We\u2019re now thinking that the company didn\u2019t make enough, because Snap has extended the Pixy\u2019s shipping time to four whole months, according to the drone\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Does this mean the Pixy is selling well? It\u2019s possible, but it seems more likely that Snap didn\u2019t make that many to begin with. In the past, Snap lost almost $40 million<\/a> when it made too many pairs of its Spectacles, but Snap CEO Evan Spiegel suggested to The Verge<\/em> before Pixy\u2019s launch<\/a> that Snap underestimated how many Pixys it needed and made too few<\/em> this time around. \u201cHonestly, in hindsight, we probably should have made more,\u201d Spiegel told us. <\/p>\n

As a result, people who purchased the Pixy drone are going to have to wait. Even the very first people who bought the Pixy on day one won\u2019t see their drone for weeks, Snap spokesperson Chloe Keusder confirmed in an email. <\/p>\n

That won\u2019t be a surprise to buyers: Snap\u2019s website always showed an 11- to 12-week shipping window on its launch date, April 28th. But if you purchase one today, you\u2019ll now have a longer wait time of 15 to 16 weeks. Snap, however, isn\u2019t waiting for orders to come in before making each drone; the Pixy isn\u2019t made-to-order, Keusder tells The Verge<\/em>. So there\u2019s at least a small stockpile somewhere, one that takes multiple months to make it to your door.<\/p>\n

How small? Snap declined to tell us how many drones it made. So we can\u2019t really begin to guess how popular the Pixy might be. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
