Also I don't fault TBI for closing their pre-orders. I just gave those examples to make the point that importing is not more expensive and that you don't have to get your pre-order in within the first few days with those sources.

Once you then take into account the quick and painless delivery, far better customer support and that you can delay payment to just before release (for NY) it's an easy decision for me.
Not fair but as you say is what it is. I just had to point that out for people playing at home.

All my purchases with TBI have been painless anyway. And one of the reasons I use them over most other retailers is the HUMM and PayPal laybuy options that alot of other places don't have. Using Black Arachnia as an example, I could pay her off easily using PayPal laybuy. Because my pay fluctuates fortnight to fortnight, it's the better option for me.
