Nothing will ever be as bad as Mattycollector's darkest days. I was able to preorder this, and I've never had any issues preordering Mezco exclusives as long as I'm able to order it as soon as it goes up. This time they even included a timer for when it went live, was in and out after less than 5 mins on the site.
It sucks if you don't have the money on the day, but if money can be issue for someone, this is not the line to collect with cheaper alternatives available.
