Here's the deal - regardless of whether we do first-come-first-serve or a lottery, at the end of the day the story's going to be the same. There are going to have 100 very happy collectors and a lot of people who don't luck out. At least by doing a lottery system, we're leveling the playing field and making this as accessible to our collectors as possible. Everyone that wants in gets a chance. I think that's a MUCH better and fairer option than one where people get shafted because they were the last to get the newsletter or happen to be in the wrong time zone.

The people that camped out for days chose to do that themselves, and there was no promise or guarantee they were going to get a system if they did. They took a chance and they had to deal with the fact that it didn't pan out for them. I hate to sound callous, but that's not the store's fault.
