Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Right now, shipping shows as $112 and I don't expect that to stick, but I don't want them to all of a sudden take my money if shipping triples in price once it's ready to ship.

Not when they launched the new site. With the old site when a waitlist converted then they charged your card right away.
Now you have a 2 week thinking period to confirm it. Also when they want to ship the item you need to confirm your adress first. Not 100% sure but if you disagree with the shipping quote you can cancel the order within 24 hours and you can keep your NRD.

Okay. I think the last time I ordered something that wasn't a WL item was the Predator 2 wall statue. I'm fairly certain they didn't warn me before taking final payment. I only ask because I don't keep much money in my checking account on purpose. I hope they will at least notify me before final payment is automatically taken.

Yes, they should now notify you before final payment.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

That's why you should always and only pre-order with a credit card. Nothing worse than having your liquid cash pulled out of your bank account when you don't expect it.

Yep, good call. For some reason, I thought I couldn't switch my paypal method with them, but I just switched it to CC, instead of checking.

I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering.

Came across this hungry terminator searching youtube.
First thought the guy was remoting it out of the vending machine.
