There's something I've wondered for awhile. What does WTFWTK actually stand for?

Amazon is the most obvious example. It handles pre-orders very well all the time on DVDs and other products. It only involves keeping a database of customers who are waiting and then charging their accounts when the product is ready. If the product doesn't get released, no harm done.
It shouldn't even be necessary to pay in advance, but for a limited edition line, I don't suppose there would be too many objections if we had to.
We're mature enough to know that glitches happen. Sometimes things might be delayed. So what it we're getting what we want eventually?
Making more money until people get fed up with unwanted figures in the subscriptions and they stop buying altogether.
Wun-Dar was moved forwards and then moved back. In the grand scheme of things, it really isn't a big deal.
I've added a question to the next set of WTFWTK about pre-orders. Let's see if it gets selected. I think we should keep pushing this, because it's evident that this is important to a lot of people here.

I could be wrong, but I feel that Mattel doesn't want to offer MOTUC pre-orders since it will probably cut down on their sales. A lot of sales are due to "resellers" and people making impulse buys since they fear they won't get a second chance to buy what's on sale. If Mattel offers pre-orders, people are not only guaranteed to get what they want(this will really hurt "resellers" who will eventually stop buying so many to later mark up), it will also give people enough time to decide what they want(not as many impulse buys).
you are right
i will not mind if i could make a pre order of any figure without know when will be release it and get charged once the figure its shipped, and in that way at least i will know that i will have the figure yes or yes, no matter if which month will be avaliable
