These aren't mass production pieces that Hasbro cranks out for less than a buck a figure and can place in any case assortment they please. These do cost the Club money too. Probably more than we'd think. I can certainly understand that they wouldn't want inventory sitting around while collectors wait for item to clearance out.
Anyway, I just don't like people complaining about the club not making enough when their own procrastination is to blame.
Complaining is what Joe collectors do around here.
If the club and Hasbro and online retailers teamed up to give collectors a 7 pack of the most favored "missing" 25th anniversary figures...Cover Girl, Jinx, Footloose, Law & Order, Lifeline, and whoever else, say...people would complain. They would complain because
A: It was too expensive (even if it was less than retail price per fig)
B: You needed a credit card (because they don't issue them in Pig Loin, Alabama or Crackalacker, North Carolina)
C: Shipping was expensive
D: That they needed to give their email to join the club
E: That there was a deadline.
F: About the sculpts
G: About the character selection
Hasbro could make a figure that shat gold and gave 100% accurate stock tips and collectors around here would STILL complain.
