If anyone can get the two BBTS sets that have about the same amount of tooling as these, for about $89.99 + shiping for 14 figures, why should anyone pay over $400.00 for 12?
The club can keep their subscription I wil not be buying it.
I am starting to feel the same way...I really only want 4 of the figures so I'm debating just buying them on EBAY. Jinx, Big Boa, Covergirl and Iron Klaw look pretty good to me but $300+ is not realistic for me to spend on those 4 but I suppose there is always the option of selling the others and trying to recoup most of your money.
It's a conundrum because I would love to support the idea of the figure sub. if it meant we could get the vintage characters that we haven't been able to receive yet but I have a strong disdain for the club and how they handle things so I hate the idea of leaving the success of this in their hands as well as the idea of everyone having to rely on them.
In the end, I suppose it's a moot point because it solely relies on the individual emphasis we all put on the characters being released and the funds we have at our disposal.
