I also live by this rule normally, especially since most pre-order products simply don't exist yet when pre-ordering, including the Pro1 when I went and ordered one :P.

But when specs and pictures where shown, away with my rules because whoaaaa... I wouldn't forgive myself if I'd missed out on this one and absolute worst case it was supporting an attempt to bring a dream I share to reality. Also @chenliangchen has a good enough track record that I have no doubts about legitimacy.

The wait is real though thus far, fxtec seems to have chosen the exact time when the world goes on fire to start out xD. If there are no new brexits, pandemics or other calamities of those proportions they'll have an easier time and I think we can expect much faster delivery .
