96% got a ways to go. Is it worth it? Lets put it this way, I hope all BOTLs that wanted one got one before the non-BOTLs did.

I'm guessing a lot more BOTLs ordered than are posting here.
Last year we had to input our BOTL handle in the comments to purchase, though there wasn't anything to stop someone from typing gibberish in the comments. I'm only guessing, but I wonder if the reason for an open pre-order is to guarantee that they'll sell out immediately so Tim doesn't have to cover the costs of 300 boxes of sticks for more than a day or so?
Otherwise, seems like you could easily have a donors-only pre-order day - maybe with a special link or code to enter at the website- followed by a general BOTL preorder the next day, and then a general release to the public if any are left over after that.
