When they first statred helping peeps in the forbidden zones they had a much bigger allottment. Just look at the amount of people they helped with Magneto. Some of those same collectors are now saying that they can't lock the latest statues in.

Oh man that sucks. I'm assuming the orders they have are at least secure, I hope. I ordered Thor back in late August early Sept so I would think I'm pretty safe.

How do you come up with such assumption?

By assuming? Since to assume is to guess with no proof, really it doesn't matter if I say a great big dragon told me while I was in the drive thru at Burger King!
All jokes aside, what I was virtually saying is that Mark, Kenny and Scoots are already having to turn people down. But to my knowledge they haven't contacted anyone that they've already taken deposit or payment money from to tell them they have to cancel that persons pre order. That leads me to "assume" that they at least have an idea of what they can get as far as what we've seen printed already.

You ordered this Thor back in August 2014? Dealers have been taking preorders of preorders that far in advance?
While I can understand the desire to own a cool upcoming piece, I must admit, I'm not a fan of the panic and sense of dread urgency that's been invited to buying certain statues lately. Thinking one must secure a preorder of a preorder 8 to 9 months prior to the official preorder date is out of whack.

I read your original statement wrong, I read it "the least secure" instead of "at least secure". That's what happen when I am reading the forum on my phone by the pool in Hawaii.
RS plenty of folks PO way early. I ordered all XM Marvel back in May last year. At this point, if you see something you like. You might as well order it, it's unlikely you will have trouble selling your PO.
