You don't have to visit the dealer
I also did everything via phone and e-mail. My first time at the dealer was the day I took delivery. So, if you get the right dealer, this is definitely an option. I was able to get exactly what I wanted options-wise for a substantial discount off sticker doing it this way. I'd recommend you try it.

allocation is when the factory gives the dealers more cars to replenish their inventory. typically there are 2 allocations per month, depending on the number of boats arriving at the port. the allocation dates will be different depending on which port you get your vehicles from. i get mine from jacksonville.

Looks like I will be the last to get the call, lol... I guess Lexus forgot about me...
I told them, that I would be out of town from 11/17-11/27
The dealer called me on the 11/22/06 to tell me the car was on its way to the dealer. It arrived at the dealer on the 24th(23th was a holiday).
So my car sat there for 5 days. WHile they put on my front plate (Even though I told them not to) Ah well, plateless is not legal in VA anyway... but still.
Anyway, hopefully you will get the car before new year. Esp if you are in jersey and it arrives in NY on the 22nd.
Technique, you should send your dealer an email. Your car is probably on their list. Good luck.
