Didn't they say that the cardboard Taiyang in the first episode would be fixed in the dvd release? That means they have to rerender the episode, and they might go through and fix a lot of things that were stuffed up in the initial episode release. That could be one reason for a delay.

I don't know anything about Gray saying that the masters have already being shipped to the distributor, but if they have then that kind of throws my theory out the window.
