2217 Sales Question

Ok, here it is, about a month ago i ordered a castle/neu 2217, it said it would take 8 weeks to build, not that im in a rush or anything, but im just curious what has to be done to these things between when you order one and it arrives at my door? I mean i figured the superheros at castle could twinkle their noses, snap their fingers, or give some motor parts a hard stare and boom a motor is built or does castle build it or neu? Is castle really that backed up? What far away planet did Patrick crash to earth from? Where do the wires on the 2217 come out of the can at? Side or rear? Is it green? Is the Castle plant nuclear powered or anti-matter powered? This is just a few questions i have long wondered about.
