Hi Thomas, I am a little confused about this. While I am pleased that you are going to take up the banner, and I think you will make a great return for this investment, but does this mean that those who previously preordered Monty and Raceway are still considered "preordered", or is that money gone and it all starts from scratch again? Thanks in advance, allan The truth will set you free...
