Spawn.com Exclusive Active Camo Spartan Pre-Order Shenanigans

"I'm just going to hide in my active camo until this whole pre-order thing is done."

In November, Spawn.com started their new pre-order system that allowed Spawn.com registrants to get first dibs on their exclusive Halo 3 Active Camouflage Spartan. At some point, Spawn.com sent out a notice that their new pre-order system needed to be revamped and that those that had already pre-ordered the figure would need to do so again. It seems that all the kinks have been worked out as Spawn.com sent out emails today to all those that already pre-ordered the figure that their new pre-order site will be up on July 7th.

Those of us that pre-ordered do not have to re-register since we already pre-ordered the figure. We'll just have to go to the site and pick if we want one or two figures. So it's like the first pre-order was a really a pre-order for the pre-order. Don't worry McFarlane Toys and Halo fans, your pre-ordered pre-orders are still good as long as you visit Spawn.com July 7th. However, the Spawn Store will be offline from July 7th - August 1st, although they say ordering will work will be fully functional through July 7th. Hmm, well this might be a little confusing. I guess get your pre-orders in as early as you can on July 7th in case the pre-order section happens to go offline.

Now, hopefully I won't have to uses the word pre-order for awhile.
