    moriond, I preordered SEs in: Solaris, Sitka, Tidal, and Taiga. I am still eyeballing Island and UV. Do you know if this is the one and only time the 200d halcyon Side Effects will be available? That would help me decide about the other two.

    Glad to hear you were able to order the PCSBs this time around, because it was brutal trying to get an order placed last debut.

    (whispers) I think you should order a few more. Or at least order them now and then think about it so you don't have any regrets. I've had a few sad TB moments when I hemmed and hawed and didn't pull the trigger fast enough.

    I do use Side Effects very often, sometimes as a PLO or bag in bag. I especially like to use them as a theme park bag, although I sometimes I do use an Everyday Cubelet. Side Effects are just so handy and versatile as a first aid bag, makeup/dopp bag, airplane seat bag, etc. I just love them.

    Mmh, maybe I could use the SE for my chargers and stuff. My SC is usually bigger than I need for travel. And I think the HLT is too complicated for my taste. I prefer to just throw things in...

    So did you order one? I don’t know, my first SE was ballistic, the 200d might be different enough. But the thing is, I’m not sure it would get used as a bag in bag organization much because my favourite bags are the Café bags and something like the EC makes more sense in there than the horizontal SE. And even my EC gets used mostly as a bag on its own. But I don’t really need another EC or PCSB either...

    Whew, that was exciting! A GE Paragon Aubergine for me and the Deep Blue for my husband (he doesn’t yet know he needs it), 3 Pickup Trucks (DeepBlue, Dawn, LogicBlue), and 2 Everyday Cubelets (Taiga and Tidal). Now to be patient!

I was sure I had decided on a black/Solaris Paragon until I saw G42’s fantastic pictures of her Taiga Paragon. Then Cristina posted pictures right before go time of her deep blue one, which was very cool. So I still was undecided. Which Paragon? In the end, I got both black/Solaris and Wilderness GE, plus a Logic Blue Pick-Up Truck and a few cubelets. It was an excellent day. Can’t wait until late April when I get the shipping email.

    I got two Pick-Up Trucks, Dawn and Black. I only have a regular Truck so far (in Constellation) and it’s a great bag. Can’t wait to see the smaller ones! I’m still thinking about the Tidal SE.

Is there any way to do that now, or does my card get charged for everything when it ships?
    Your credit card is charged for the full order total at the time you place your order. That means we charge you before your order ships, which, depending on the bag being pre-ordered, can be anywhere from two to eight weeks.
    If you look at the Blog post for the current preorder there's a link to the Preorder FAQ

    I've linked you to the point at which your question about Credit Card charge is answered, but note that you can cancel (or add to) your order before it ships.
