The major difference between sitting at the computer waiting for the newsletter and for the PPO is that you know WHAT you're waiting for with the PPO. If its not something you like, you don't bother waiting.
Seems a lot more reasonable than having everyone waiting for a random announcement where it might be Marvel, it might be SW, it might be LOTR, etc.
Even within the brands, there are different lines that different people like or even certain characters that people might want or not want.
If SSC wants to change the time of preorders to be Thursday nights, I'd be fine with that, but at least give an announcement of WHATS being sold a week or 2 in advance like they do for PPO.
As for inclusives, I'm one of the few that would like the idea of open edition sizes, but I recognize I'm in the minority so oh well.
