I think we should get used to calling these HTO items as TLC refers to them,
or not refer to them as anything special, but we should definitely not refer
to these as promo items in my opinion.
A promo item is an item that a company specifically is using to "promote"
their store or product. Some examples include the Shell sets, the Kabaya
Sweets sets in Japan, the Telekom (?) Tour de France sets, the made for
airlines sets. Things like that. These are true promo items. They are made
under arrangement with TLC and sold by a company to promote their business or
increase their sales. How many of us would have bought as many Happy Meals as
we did if they didn't have LEGO sets included. I would also consider the rare
Star Wars press release set a promo item. In this case it is a promotion for
The Lego Company itself and their new Star Wars line.

Just call them once and back order it.
