I just scanned some of these threads on the JL forum (didn't read all comments) to get an idea of how things transpired when they rolled out the JL. Found it interesting that pricing wasn't available until almost 2 months after order banks opened...
Also noted when scanning the threads that the build & price on jeep.com wasn't working until the JL started to show up on dealer lots (since the B&P tool links you to local dealers with similar builds).
