In past years, I've scoured eBay to pick and choose figures from these convention sets. I want Tomax, Xamot, Baroness, and maybe three Vipers, but don't need a dozen of them.
Also, won't there be more than these figures to fill out the set? I recall the Tanks for the Memories set had one boxed set of figures, two jetpack figures sold apart from the set, a re-worked VAMP, and originally meant to sell two Maulers with Steeler and the Cobra Hiss Commander. Of cours the Maulers never came through, but clearly there's more to come other than this set.

Last year I recieved a confirmation and schedule of events about a month before the Con date. If there is a problem with your order form they will call contact you. I got a call a couple weeks ago about an error on mine. So basically no news is good news.

These look cool, but this is first con set that I will pass on.
I hope that at the Convention, the GIjoe Club has something in store for us vintage 3 3/4 body style figures collectors, instead of just 25th anniversary style figures. I will be going. Any one in the South Texas area interested in splitting the hotel room cost? P.M. me. Cheers!!!!!!!! |

I totally agree. These twins look cool, but at the end of the day they're repaints, even with a repaint army, $300 - $330 seems way too steep. That's like almost $390 for us canucks. I think I'll stick to getting the figures I've missed form the Modern Line up until now. $390 can buy me a heck of a lot of Joes even at regular retail price.

Not being a member, I opted to join just for the eight dollar discount [whoo]. My biggest concern was that I filled something out wrong in the process. |

Seriously? $330?
For 15 figs that works out to $20 a figure. Literally 60% of my paycheck? The cost of a cheap computer? For repaints? I love GI Joe, but I don't know if I love it that much. |
