I'm not sure about that. I tried to order the second that they were available (as I normally do with releases), but had trouble. I wound up waiting until late the next morning to order. I know that I was late to the party, but I received my cards a few days ago, long before some of those first people to order, so I'm not sure what order they are shipping in. I truly expected to be on the tail end of the orders received. It may be a matter of everyone grabbing a stack of orders and then filling what they have. That many orders at once is a lot different from the normal ordering day where they can be filled as they trickle in. That might be completely wrong, but it's just a thought.
