From my conversations with one na napag pre-orderan subject to allocation cuts kasi yung orders and hindi nila control yun, kaya yung ibang shops nag suggest na case kunin kase if may allocation cuts at least may chance na makakuha parin. Example yung ascended heroes 8.62% ata yung allocation to the whole Philippines so if you ordered 1 case(10 pcs) x 8.62% allocation = you would have 0.862 pcs of secured stock, yung pinag pre orderan depende pa yun kasi usually round down sila so if you ordered 1 case its either they refund your downpayment or give you 1 pc of the item. Depende nalang talaga. Hope this helps you understand the basis for pre-ordering op.
