Hi Awhispersecho,
I assume you mean "from stock", not "from stick".
I think I remember EvilDragon saying that once he's sold the first 1500 he'll have enough funds to keep a steady supply. He's got 800 pre-orders, and once those start going out I guess we're hopeful there are good reviews and he'll sell the next 700 pre-orders no problem. Once those are sold and shipped the third batch will probably be for immediate purchase in his store, no more pre-order.
That's what I remember about the situation, anyway.
