Lego questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Does anyone have any idea how long it will take for 2019 sets to show up at retail? I'm after the Speed Champions sets for 2019.

According to the Autobub's now very worn out 2019 catalogue, the Speed sets are due out in March.

Really? They are available now according to Lego's own website.

The ones with the March 2019 are the ones like the Mini Cooper. Are those available online now? Sorry not collecting this series so not sure.

Sometimes sets are available on the Lego site before retail shops here like the new modular garage. A few of the new speed champions are on the site but the mini cooper set says sold out. So maybe it was available and went too quickly or maybe it's a placeholder until March 🤷

Knowing McLaren fanbois I guarantee the Senna sold out. Minis are also a popular make of car among car fans. You don't see many on the road, but there is a rampant fanbase there.

I guess it's just a case of Lego has them before the retailers. I can wait a couple of months so I don't have to pay shipping and I get to use my Big W staff discount on them.

ZOMG.
Now to find some Marlboro decals to fit...

Are the Overwatch sets meant to be a wide release or a shop exclusive?
