You can also buy the whole kit right away and then you have all the
parts to finish even if they dissapear.

Wellll...that depends on whether the company is DELIVERING kits and kit
components quickly. Most companies seem to have a bit of delay between
receiving the order and shipping the kit (an argument for picking it up
yourself, true). Tottering companies sometimes delay shipments of expensive
goodies, like engines, etc. I know a guy who waited eight months for the
off-the-shelf Maule tailwheel assembly that was supposed to come with his kit.
