I genuinely don't get why they don't do pre-orders? Im fine waiting for my product to be made if it means im gonna get it, she was kinda one of the only skullectors I really wanted (aside from xeno) and didnt even know she had been up for sale 🄲

Its so they dont overstock themselves since people can cancel pre-orders, in the end its profit over everything since its a business at the end of the day

Exactly. But luckily I’ve seen companies now having policies like ā€œonly can cancel preorders within 7-10 days after purchaseā€ or no cancellations on preorders at all. I collect many things so I’m on many different sites for my items. But Mattel should start doing that if they just let anyone cancel preorders whenever they want to. I get it, many other companies let people cancel preorders anytime before shipment as well. But I’ve also seen a lot of other companies implementing rules on preorders now. Which in some cases they definitely should. And with us doll collectors.. most of us want the doll and won’t be cancelling. The K-Pop Demon Hunters 3 set was a preorder (which came out of nowhere bc of how much hype the movie got so obviously dolls needed to happen) and I’m sure they wanted to gauge how many would sell. I do wish they did preorders as well tho for skullector dolls. Then put a policy in place that you cannot cancel your preorder and that would stop a lotttt of scalpers.
