So, to get the Crimson Strike exclusive, I need to pay $280 (assuming I join the club as an Officer), and I will be guaranteed a set, no matter when I get there.
yup

yup

Yes and no....last time was the Headhunter Driver. In ATL it was a VAMP, in SF it was mini subs. Last year was the first time it was a figure. Every other year it has been a small vehicle with the exception of the HISS and VAMP. It is one per boxed set if I remember, and they are free. Expectations should be kept low on the freebie.

And once again, will I be able to get 2 if I get a bagged and boxed set?
NO....the Convention Souvies are NOT free. Last year we had two vehicles with drivers and a 3 pack. It all depends on what the club can find tools for. Sometimes it is more, sometimes it is less (ie no Tanks in ATL).

A hearty pat on the back for making your first con and since you are a n00b, you will be buying the drinks - so free drinks for us.

Not always vehicles. Yes, they are expensive (ie 3 pack is $65). They are limited to a couple hundred each. Typically we don't know until they show us at registration time. You can buy them immediately once you get your set and badge. One piece of advice - buy them as early as you can. Do not hesitate.

The dropped figures (this year will be 12") are always for the kids. You can buy your own at the club store or get on the list of voluenteers to throw these.

Nope, there may be clarity a little here, but there will always be confusion.
