How can they sell something that hasn't been offered up yet? Sounds to me like A.) they're jumping the gun, and B.) they better hope they don't sell more than they can snag from the club.

Nothing new, happens every year with a lot of e-tailers.
At least it's not as bad as Guru's $500 for the set.

I am from Texas, and the gijoeclub charges you sales tax if you are from Texas.
($360X1.0825tax)+13.20 shipping= $402.90 for a boxed set from gijoeclub I open alot of my figures. $399.99 for a loose set from bbts plus probably $5 additional shipping to add to my pile of loot is $404.99. I preordered a loose set from bbts already.

There's no limit on how many you can order if you attend the con, so I don't think they're taking too much of a gamble. They probably have their employees watching the site round the clock so they know they'll get to order right away. It also sounded like the club might be waiting to produce the sets until the orders come in, which would mean BBTS would get their full order but there also might not be a quick sellout because they'll produce to fill all orders up to a certain point. Monkeywrench could be thrown in those plans if they don't get the bugs out of the site before the firing days begin though.

The plus side is BBTS won't charge you until they get the sets. Hmmm...

Pre-order now and you've got insurance in case the club sells out before you buy directly from them.
