Pre-order items are items new to BTB typically launched with limited initial quantities. All "PRE-ORDER" items are clearly marked. If an item is not marked pre-order, we have it in stock ready for immediate shipment. Pre-Order items are produced in limited quantities and are expected to ship within 1-3 weeks. Expected release dates can be found in their respective descriptions. If you purchase a pre-order, the item will be reserved for you and mailed out as soon as the item is available in stock. We will notify you via email at the time of shipment.
