No, I'm just hoping to throw a few others off. But honestly, even if BBTS sells out, there will be plenty of other sites offering the same thing. The last online exclusive is even available through HTS.com, Target.com and even Wal-mart.com had the old 7 packs.

Eventually, we’ll glance at our pre-order queue and although we haven’t made a financial commitment, knowing we have a right to and control of that NEW Cobra Island 7-pack pre-order, we smile and our hearts go pitter-pat. At times I've looked at my pre-orders that wouldn't arrive for another four months but for a brief moment I had the sensation of owning them? Understand, it's the thrill and testimony of the chase not the result of owning them. Whether it's in the parking lot after your favorable retail find or 10 minutes after opening a mailed package filled with Joe goodness, the reality of in-hand possession is anti-climatic. |

That's true and a valid point. So what's all the hype about... well I'm glad you ask my friend! It's the excitement and anticipation of securing NEW G.I.Joe product right NOW! We wait idly by for the news of an available pre-order. FLASH… we frantically rush to get our pre-orders in then rejoice amongst our brethren in that very thread that informed us as if we’re at a bar. Using 'back door' links for BBTS pre-orders adds a level of excitement. Gingerly we check the availability afterwards to watch the status turn from ‘PRE-ORDER’ to ‘BACKORDERED’ to ‘SOLDOUT’. We grin as our steady patience and determination is now solidified.
