Ingress X kit pre-order NOT A PRE-ORDER???

I..... I can't even. You use a pre-order to determine how much a product you need to make, THEN YOU ORDER IT.


HOW THE F do you call something a pre-order, then lock out buyers because the pre-order is "sold out"??? So, does this mean there will be no orders moving forward? English is hard.

Tired of this absolute horsedung @NianticThia

    it seems it was like before very limited quantities whatever they had and sold out in 25min roughly...

  • Seriously Niantic, what is going on? People want to give you money for products, and you continually can’t get it together. It’s ridiculous.

    Would have much rather they just say it goes on sale like before, not call it a preorder. Really screwed the pooch here.

    A preorder doesn’t mean it’s unlimited. Should they have told us how many were available, probably, but unless it’s specific about selling for a certain time frame, one should assume there is a limit, especially with Niantic. In all my years of collecting vinyl, 10+ years of doing preorders, I’ve never assumed there was an unlimited supply unless stated, which is pretty rare.

    Technically not a pre-order either though according to dictionary as they were available for sale.

    The accepted meaning of pre-order is to place an order prior to production. Limited or unlimited productions another issue.

    As per usual, it was vague and confusing communication. The store experience though was good.

    Products have been sold online for over twenty years now. A "good" online store experience should be a given. 😝
