Still up in the air.
When I saw the title to your post I hoped it meant they had actually shipped. There are many anxious people out there.
April/May time frame.

That is what the owner of my LHS stated when I stopped by and asked him several weeks back. He has over 10 units on preorder and many potential customers have been waiting for almost 9 months to take possession of these things. He was very matter of fact in what has been communicated to him. He has been right in the past with stuff like this. Heck he knew about the Floquil paint ceasing production weeks before the official announcement.

dude chill and have some patience with all these threads on the same subject.
we have been talking about this for a year.
Lionel had an issue and until it gets fixed they are not going to release any Legacy units.
if you cannot wait, get a CAB1-L with a base and you will be 3/4 on your way to legacy. these CAB1-L are much better then the CAB1 and almost as good as a Legacy. I have both.
JonZ says they are in production NOW! Looks like February

Agreed... this is the third thread talking about the same subject from the same OP. Sorry, don't mean to point fingers, but the same thread keeps popping up, only its a new one everytime.
I have a theory... its probably wrong, but a theory none-the-less. I think Lionel is deliberately delaying the release of more Legacy systems so people will go out and buy the Cab-1L system instead. This way people get desperate and buy the lesser system since they can't get a legacy unit. Then, when they do release the legacy unit, everyone will have to go get one since it's slightly better than the Cab-1L.

Last week my LHS told me February also, as Fredstrains said above.
I have had one ordered since early September 2013.
In reality, they will ship just as soon as Lionel receives them from manufacturing in China.
when in february.

No, mostly I'm just kidding. I can't afford either system right now. I'll have to stick with my old Cab-1 for a while.

That's about an average time for most things these days. Another few months shouldn't be too much to handle.
Besides, the ONLY folks who can give you an accurate answer, if they are willing and able to, all work down in Concord, NC.

Its a "vast orange and blue conspiracy".
what is holding Lionel back Lionel shipping the legacy system.
A part that is no longer available and the replacement part was not up to Lionel's standards.
Tomorrow is February #1 lets hope the legacy system gets shipped or by the end of the first week.
How about we hope it gets shipped and hop if it doesn't? 
Lionel just updated the shipping schedule today........ the legacy command set still says Dec 13........
Does it say which year?

Ahh, you don't miss a beat do ya John? I didn't even think of that!
Hope it's not 2113, I'll be way out of time by then...hope my great-great-great-great-grand children will enjoy it.
A really good friend told me they'll definitely, for certain, be in stores on April 1st.
(get it?)
Any word on it coming ???
Here's a link to Lionel's shipping schedule Legacy 990 shipping schedule
Enter this number in the search box when you get there: 6-14295
Couldn't get a direct link for some reason?
Yes I know but is February not dec but thank you
This is all we have to go by. As Allan said earlier, the only folks that know for sure work for Lionel. Might try calling Lionel.
Same goes for DCS, only call MTH for that one.
Lionel is looking for a sales manager in Concord, N.C. This might be an opportunity for someone to get on board and contribute. I came across this while looking for SMT engineering careers in that area. They are also looking for a web designer and graphic artist
There is an eMail from GONSALVES, N. Reading, MA saying the Legacy sets
are not in stock but soon. There are a list of a number of items and their
cost. Dealers may sell at 10% over cost.
The cost for the Legacy system is $240,the ZW-L is $480 and the Cab1L is $150.
Wow mid February still not here
D^mn every time this thread comes up I think somebody got one!! 
ROFL!!

Yes... and if I were a dealer and the importers told me I had "permission" to sell/advertise their products at 10% over cost, I'd tell them they should practice what they preach and sell product to me at 10% over THEIR cost.
We'd all like to pay those prices for product, but sadly nobody would be in business too long with those margins.
