It seems that Lensmate was wrong, with their guess, the Fujiilm X-Pro2 could ship in April. Check out this:

FR-reader Wing said in the comments:

” The light at the end of the tunnel is brighter and looking not as far down as it’s been.. here’s a screen shot from B&H showing latest update to X-Pro2 expected availability.. MARCH 10th! Very good, very good.. please let it be even soon if possible.

Maybe the recent report/rumor that the final production firmware release from Kevin Mullins is good and finally production can move forward not be delayed as much as it’s been reported over the past weeks.”

FR-reader ChiPhi confirmed:

“Just received a note from B & H letting me know that my order’s ‘Expected availability’ is now March 10th. I really hope it does not get pushed much more as I am chomping at the bit.”

AmazonUS is even more optimistic… they still say the X-Pro2 shipping will start February 25.

The X-T1 IR has approximately 80 points of weather sealing for outdoor dependability, and can withstand freeze temperatures down to 14°F (-10°C).

The X-T1 IR focuses on both excellent image quality as well as delivering incredible speed. It uses an extremely fast and accurate autofocus system, and is compatible with Ultra High Speed UHS-II SD memory cards.
