There are positives and negatives to both types of pre-order payment methodologies but in this case, it is seriously impacting the budgets of many of their collectors.

Given the choice I think I like pre-payment over pre-ordering, but really I understand why a lot of websites don't want to mess with taking money up front. I'd like to see the option someday on sites like Amazon.
