Bike Purchase - A Dream Deferred

Sorry for the vent, but after months of research and guilt over the price, I finally decided to pull the trigger on a new Giant TCR Advanced SL ISP frameset to build up. However, it turns out Giant is all out and isn't expecting any more until mid to late May!! How can the manufacturer be out? Could they not see this coming and start to build/ship more inventory from Asia sooner? It's not like it is Christmas and they are a toy maker artificially keeping supply low to drive up demand. I find it particularly amusing that when I test rode the SL3 at a demo day last week, the Giant rep was telling me I should definitely get the ISP - way to up sell me to a bike that doesn't exist. My LBS is actually trying to down sell me to an Advanced. This stinks!
