True, true - but definitely more than 1 item at a time.
I just ordered most of MOTU Origins Wave 2 from Walmart an hour or so back, and it's already being broken up into different deliveries. Can't wait to see how janked up the figure card backings get when they're all put into plastic bags. :(

I just wonder if it will be before the holidays or after. Traditionally this is a rather dead time for new stuff, but lately Hasbro has been much more aggressive about having more frequent, but smaller preorders.

Not that it will make a difference, but I need to write letters to Hasbro. At least I can feel like I'm making a difference that way ... Hasbro, please release a Classified Zandar figure to match Zarana, and acknowledge Zarana & Zandar are twins! #DreadnokTwinsRising
Because, from a narrative standpoint, I'd assume the "creative team" may consider a second set of (psychic) twins as being rather redundant. Plus Zarana is probably too significant a character to be tethered to (what Hasbro would likely see as) a "gimmick" role. Meanwhile, back on topic, I've been looking over that list of "secret codenames", searching for some sorta way to decipher the pattern. But all I've got so far is that "Carpenter" = "Cobra". And that whoever came up with the placeholder names isn't a very big fan of Duke.

I thought source books listed Zarana/Zandar as fraternal twins. And it was never played up like Tomax and Xamot, so I don't see the issue.

Which, I guess, is why Dreadnok Twins is fighting so hard to "make it official". I was just wondering why it matters.

Talking about Hama-verse? G.I. Joe has countless versions of 'canon.'

I'm an opener, so I don't care about a mint box, but Amazon is by far, the fastest most reliable toy retailer. If something is available on Amazon, they are always my first choice.

Why do they have to be twins? Can't they just be regular siblings who have formed a really close bond? Not like "The Cement Garden"-type of close ... but still really super close.

Two references in YA books, one from 1986 and the other from 1988. One reference in IDW's continuity. Another reference in the Hasbro Heroes Sourcebook. While it was poorly represented in DDP's continuity, Josh Blaylock confirmed Zarana & Zandar were twins. And Hama, well.... He confirmed they were presented to him as twins by Hasbro. I'm just trying to make sure it sticks! It's out there. It just remains obscure, obviously.
