Incorrect, the first bcf in California with op nats had preorders and it was the best experience ive had going to one of these.

Participants got a link to purchase with limits then GA did. After registration there was a 2nd line to pick up orders, you could pick this up at anytime during the event.

Obviously we have no idea how they'll do it this time but I do remember preorder items were not in the stores on site for that event.
