It might depend on what "in the queue" means, but I'd say it's legit. In my case I turned down the first machine that arrived because it lacked IEB. At that point the dealer gave me a rough idea on the wait time for another machine and kept me informed about progress toward delivery. It amounted to about a three month process.
