Either that or have a trustworthy broker place "a major order" on the behalf of various buyers. I mean they are giving "bulk buyers" priority and (apparently) a separate pool of pre-order stock. I haven't been in this community for long, but does anyone want to nominate someone whom can handle the task/risk of placing a bulk order with our collective cash/BTC?
No one has yet asked if there is still stock for bulk pre-orders.
If you want it badly enough you could seek a trust worthy member with impeccable credibility...whomever they may be.
