Wave 3 Update from BBTS

Okay so the status on this wave has been topsy turvy. First it said "Backordered", then it said "Sold out", then it said "Preorder - sold out" and finally "Preorder" (sorry I think I grabbed the last preorder) and finally "Preorder- sold out"

I don't know if its a code in the system or if they just have limited amounts to preorder. I preordered it plus sent an email about these statuses. So I'll update here. (I even updated my blind bag online stock thread to "constantly" updating on that area )

update: received email.

Dear (name removed by me),

I apologize for the confusion. The date on the MLP Blind Bag 2012 Series 01 - Case of 24 (Purple Box) has since been updated. The estimated time of arrival is September 2012. We are experiencing slight delay with our vendors getting our product to our warehouse.

I see that you have one case of this item on preorder. Once the item arrives you will receive an email letting you know that your item is here and that your credit card will be charged.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you today.

I would guess its like most online orders - a limit will be set for pre order as it will be what the retailer knows they can fulfil. If they get more stock or guarantee of more stock, then the item will become a pre-order again until it maxes out to the new total and so on.

Thats great that you managed to order them - congrats.

Thanks^^ Also updated post with the email I received back.

I know I got like 2/3s of the purple blind bags, but it's so hard to find in my area. Might as well get em before they stop making them. Yup...I'm paranoid. I'll be selling my extras here (and the extra box too)
