So I went to check the store because I was possibly interested in the Legion figurine (him and Tali have the best face's expression). I then put the item in my cart and read in the item's description "This item may be back-ordered". I then check the FAQ and read "Pre-sale items are charged at the time of purchase, not at time of shipping".
So if I understood properly, they would charge me right away for an item that may be back-ordered and not available to me in the first release? Love that maybe, however for them there is no maybe about when they will receive my money, they would get it now.
I got the same type of deal on the Ubisoft shop and ended up cancelling my pre-order.
Maybe I just got spoiled with all the stores not charging until shipping... Does Biowre/EA really needs my 20$ now to pay for those figurines?
Do they just want to be sure to not produce too many because they are scared by a lot of orders being cancelled after production? This should not be my problem.
The more I look at it, the more I don't need a Legion figurine, although a part of me still want it. Don't really care for DLC, I play on PS3 and it seems to be PC/XBOX exclusive. If I ever end up buying it I will just make a Gaffer happy with my DLC code.
