Crack that whip

Yow. I just got back from a little trip to the online Indy shop, where I finally took the plunge on a number of items I've been eyeing lustfully, as well as something that showed up again after apparently selling out once before, for which I'd been kicking myself for missing. They've just added the Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom original Style A release one-sheet again, after having had it listed for less than half of the store's opening day; presumably they either located some additional inventory in the warehouse, or used a low estimate of available stock on the first day. Whatever it was, it means I'm getting a ToD Style A Lucasfilm assures me is an original, so that's all peachy-keen.
But I didn't stop there, oh no. I actually caved and ordered a ton of stuff - so much I actually ordered in two strategically-filled orders a few minutes apart, each with one or more pre-ordered items, so as to yield two different shipments (and concurrent charges), one with stuff I want "close to" now (i.e., May) and one with stuff I'd like now, but can live without until August, and would just as soon not have to pay for it until August, so I'll have the benefit of the stuff I want sooner without having to pay for the whole lot all at once.
