Waiting for 12 months, although the first statement when ordering was: Available within 3 days... The biggest rip-off in a long time... I realise that there is a chip crisis, but other manufacturers don't need 12 months. Above all, I find it tragic that other sets are available (https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/raspberry-pi-4-b-8-gb-starter-kit-cortex-a72-entwicklungsboard-kit-21293364?supplier=406802), but I am always put off... It borders on fraud! Let them finally dig the Raspy out of the other packages and send it............................................
I can understand that this is extremely annoying, but unfortunately it is difficult to get hold of this hardware everywhere. Maybe the Raspberry Pi 400 would be an alternative? It's available immediately from stock, it also has the option of control, and there's an output with the PINs at the back of the device.
Raspberry Pi 400 DE Starterkit (ARMv8)The Raspberry Pi 400 hardware, apart from only 4 GB RAM, is also clocked a bit faster and if that would be an alternative, I would try to change the order.
You can play around there for a long time. Raspberry Pis will be in short supply for a long time to come, unfortunately.
https://www.heise.de/news...It's not fraud on Digitec's part. Digitec simply doesn't get any goods and yes, in your case, for 12 months.
You probably don't believe that Digitec will take the Pi out of another kit when you've come down a bit.
You have found an available kit. Order it and cancel your original one.
You can see how poor the situation is worldwide at the following link.

By the way, it seems that my answer from March was not so wrong. You didn't like it back then, which I understand. So feel free, if it helps you, not to like it either, even if it is true :-/
