Yes you are hosing the dealer. He based his order on your preorder. Sadly our local hobby shop has been hosed a few times as well. He can't control what/how it get's made. If you don't want the risk, don't preorder. It hurts the dealer.

I've had (one of the reasons why I stopped pre-ordering) the reverse hosing from a major dealer, twice.

Pre-ordered, received email confirmation, never received the product when I noticed that others who did not pre-order received the item in question. Called the dealer and was told, basically, sorry, sold out.

These happened to be popular items that were going for full price or higher - coincidence??

If the dealer didn't want the risk. he shouldn't take pre-orders. It hurts the customer.
