Just out of curiosity, I checked out the original release dates of the Evangelical Exegetical Commentary and compared them to the current release dates. As it turns out 2 commentary volumes have been released and 3 scheduled for release have been set for a future date. I understand that this happens in the publishing world, but as it stands, I have paid about $350 for each volume. Below are the books whose release dates have changed.

Hum, my math & accounting teacher taught me to handle futures a bit differently than yours.
Orthodox Bishop Hilarion Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."

Warning: Sarcasm is my love language. I may inadvertently express my love to you.
Glad to hear that James will be coming out soon.
To be honest, when I purchased this prepub I expected release dates to change. Just like in every other area of life things are never completed on schedule. My will attest to this - it usually takes me longer to complete home projects than I expect to.

My wife has a theory on this. She says that men must believe that, if they complete a project, they will die. Therefore, they always leave some detail undone

I love it! I'm going to have to tell my wife this one.

YES INDEED!
This is why I did not buy! I did not want to get frustrated.
This is one of the reasons that I did not commit until the last minute on the EEC.
I was in Christian publishing for over 20 years and knew that commentary schedules are always greatly delayed. It was only because of my confidence in Logos and the financing deal that they made that I decided to place my order. I just hope I live long enough to see the final volume published.

That would be nice, but going Home is also a viable option
I have never bought a series tht wasnt completed. Too much can and does interupt the process. I dont remember this deal, but prepaying for a series that wont be completed past 2016 is too much for me.
Before raising too many concerns about the publication of the series, wait and see the net couple of tests. (1) Will they release the Epistles of John on May 1, 2012 and James in September? ad (2) Wil they provide a second, third, and fourth edition for no charge when authors revise their work? It may turn out yet to become a cheap and excellent commentary.
For any other publisher I would be worried about the delays, lack of communication and out of date websites but being Logos I just take it for granted that they will do an awful job in these areas but in the end come up with a reasonable product.

Interesting analysis—with which I completely agree
