As Meerkat already stated, we don't change the image until the day their products are released. That has been true for the other V4 vocals once we removed the slideshow option off their infoboxes for the sake of simplicity.

Luka's was only added when we had the slideshow infoboxes and it would be true for every other VOCALOID who received updated images at the time. We removed the slideshow after her release because it was less messy and much more simple. You could see the whole image instead of clicking on the tiny version to blow it up to full size. Once the slideshow was removed, the rest of the V4 updates went back to their original designs until they were released (miki V4, Yuki V4, Kiyoteru V4, Iroha V4). And then everyone who was announced to update after them were treated in the way we treat them now: Wait for release and then change the image.

The reasons why we do this is because:


 * It's not impossible for projects to be delayed or even cancelled. While it's extremely unlikely for this to happen to VOCALOIDs in the likes of Miku, Rin, Len, GUMI, etc, it's still a possible outcome (see Ryuto V3 before he was brought back).  It would be a waste of time to put up a design if it turned out it would be dropped in the end.


 * It wouldn't be equal treatment. Noted that every other VOCALOID who got their update after we removed the slideshows all waited their turns.  All V2 AHS VOCALOIDs waited, flower waited, Gumi waited, Rana, Rin and Len too.


 * As Scint mentioned, it's not even confirmed that this is her final boxart design. We like to use the official full boxart design if it's applicable.  If there is none, then we just use an image that showcases their design the best.


 * And as silly as this one sounds, it gives the editors and visitors something to look forward to and celebrate when their release is here. People actually enjoy witnessing the change from the old design to the new one when they finally release.  It's for fun.

There was no reason to be so rude or demanding about this either.
