As I understand it, the Players' Guides are usually still being written and are not ready to be relesaed until about the same time as the first volume of the AP is done.. this, in part, because the later parts of the AP are still being worked on, and changes there can cause changes in the content of the Players' Guide.
Correct; the Player's Guides are not only not generally finished until the last minute, but are part of our "launch celebration" of an AP. They not only prepare players for an AP, but help to build excitement about them. Releasing an AP months, or even weeks early would stunt that excitement.

Aye ... with their true nature only revealed by moonlight.

Understood that, but as they send groups from time to time to investigate the Eye, I was hoping that maybe some would be encountered. Ah, well...
Thanks for the answer though.
