      do you mean the red pre-order box? Pretty sure they can. They're essentially saying that you're joining a queue and you'll get it when your order reaches the front of the queue. However, they also must ensure that pre-orders are filled first and that the wait is reasonable.

      such interesting wording! like if you put money down, you're still not guaranteed it, and that clarification protects them? heck!

      You're guaranteed to get it, just not on the launch day because (I assume) they don't know how many units they're getting. It's a small gamble on the consumer's part that JB will get extra stock before other places, but it's not a scam or anything.

      haha, agreed it's not a scam. just seems a bit icky for their coffers to maybe be holding customer cash with no guarantee of order. but i now understand why they're clarifying it.

      it'd be a more fair if they took a deposit (like most normal retailers) and then billed you for the full amount before shipping (and if your transaction declines, then the next person in the queue steps up). But that has issues too.

      yeah. i guess this is a current best step, for a highly-sought after product.

      FWIW the Mighty Ape version is like that ($100 deposit) and it seems they stopped taking pre-orders already.

      Slight clarification: there's no rule that they have to fill pre-orders before other sales are made, BUT you have definite grounds for complaint if they do.https://twitter.com/hadyngreen/status/1306357813933826050?s=20 …

      Great insight. Interestingly, I've pre-ordered stuff from the UK and then 2 days after release day, it's been cancelled with no advice to me. It's frustrating as a consumer (this was a Ltd edition buy) because it's a good faith thing, and loyalty stops me buying elsewhere.

          That's harsh! It'll be covered in their t&cs though (bastards!) 😅

          Such is the plight of Dr Who fans worldwide, Haydn. Hope you're well - and appreciate your insight from Consumer. Not on Dr Who, but feel free to chime in....
