Mike, are you going to be taking orders for the exclusives beforehand like you did with Shiver and the other figures from past years? I MUST have one of these sets. (yes, I think they should all be part of a big set)
Due to the nature of these, and that a MAJOR portion is going to the McMaster Childrens Hospital, I don't think we'll be taking pre-orders this year.
Last year, I literally got hate mail from people pissed off that the pre-orders sold out in mere seconds. I don't really want to spend an hour or so sorting through that again.
Plus, no one ever reads or follows directions. (Well, most people don't).
Every year we do that, someone ALWAYS places an order for 3 or 4, and always pays with paypal or credit card. Then, the day of the event they argue that they paid when we already refunded them their money. It's a huge pain in the ass to do, it slows down the line at the event itself, and I don't like doing it.
If we get to the point of having sets in the thousands, then we'll do it again and have a set way of doing things - but until that, for something this small of a run - no.
