Preorders give collectors a way to reserve upcoming products before their scheduled release. They are also different from buying inventory that is already on the shelf, so it helps to understand the process before ordering.
Release dates can change
Trading card manufacturers and distributors can move release dates. A date shown for a preorder should be treated as the current expected release timing rather than a promise that the manufacturer will release the product on that exact day.
What is allocation?
Some high-demand releases can be allocated, meaning suppliers receive less product than originally requested. Availability can therefore change as the release approaches.
Check the exact product format
Upcoming sets may have hobby boxes, jumbo boxes, retail configurations, cases and packs listed around the same time. Confirm exactly which format you are reserving. The hobby versus retail guide can help if you are comparing sealed formats.
Ordering preorder and in-stock products together

Use the product page as the current source
Product details can evolve as manufacturers release additional information. Review the current Pullexa product page for the listing details available at the time you order.
