How did the pre-orders work. Was it on line or in store?

I've read that the preorders for the TR stuff was a disaster, in the sense that the merch hit the shelves long before pre orders were filled. In the the end I'm pretty sure everyone got what they ordered but I wouldn't count on being the first to have the figures that way. Such things don't matter to me but I know BBTS spoils some of us in their pre ordering system.

This is just gonna be another giant tease for us fans. They are gonna sell out as soon as they hit the shelves and they will be 3 times+ the price on ebay. It's so discouraging trying to go Joe hunting anymore. God, please let these be available by the truck load, so that I can maybe actually buy some and buy some at regular price, and God forbid, actually, physically in a store!
Then you'll check online and find people are selling them for $30 a figure. |

How is it gonna work for those of us who live in Europe, we didn't even get any retaliation figures at retail and had to rely on online retailers. We will never get a chance to own any of these coming figures and might never see one either... :(

You guys in Europe..are SOL, basically. I'm sure there are people on boards willing to help, but it is pretty obvious Hasbro has no real desire to sell GI Joe to the world without a movie supporting it.

I really think, if this is a repeat of 1997, there will be ultimately be MORE than enough to go around (albeit some short lived shortages as collector bum rush stores in the late summer/early fall). And a reminder: Scalpers (what few that are left) feed on the impatience of collectors. I really think (given the relatively small size of the Joe fandom) that there really will be enough to go around, even if you have to wait a couple months for a restock.

It was online for both. I ordered all of the Kre-o sets online as a pre-order last year and when they came in stock they were mailed to me. I cannot remember if they charged me at the time I ordered or when they came in stock, but it was pretty much like ordering any other product on their site, just with a different time for it to be shipped out.
The masterpiece Transformers I purchased were a bit of a different story however. Optimus had some stock issues, and it came out in stores 1-2 months before they started shipping out the online pre-orders. I got pretty nervous after a while, but in the end I got what I had pre-ordered. Depending on how many units they have and whether or not they implement a maximum order quantity will determine if this is a super easy endeavor where we can all log on their website one weekend and order one of everything, or if it will be a shitstorm like Prime was and if you're not online the first few hours you'll be SOL.
