In regards to this crimson strike team convention set I wouldnt be worried about picking them up. History has shown that even if the set sells out, they dont go for much more on ebay if you wait a month or two. That first week after the con yes they sell higher, but after that people lose interest. I have sold at the con the last 2 years and dealers may buy 1, but since they are so expensive most seem to pass on the set.

1. The RAH stuff doesn't (unfortunately) appeal to a lot of the masses of new GI Joe fans who started collecting when the 25th Anniversary stuff came out. 2. Now that the movie stuff is out, this is among the rare "classic-style" stuff to come out now, and more people will be willing to pay a premium to get it if they're not buying tons of stuff on the shelves. There are a lot of people who aren't into the movie stuff coming out right now - and even those who are aren't exactly OPPOSED to the classic-style stuff either, so even a lot of those fans will be interested. It's probably more accurate to compare this stuff with previous 25th-style exclusives than the RAH-style the Club used to do - and that stuff isn't exactly cheap on the secondary market.

Convention Brochure, General Admission, and Registration Forms tabs should had the different ways to get in. General Admission is $12, I think. Kevin |

I guess time will tell, but to say RAH doesnt appeal to collectors is just crazy.
1. Look at the prices of carded/ boxed stuff. 2. I only sell RAH stuff and people RUN to my booth at the con to get the prize figure they want. But that aside let's all have a great joe con. |

This board is notorious for it - I've read many, many "RAH vs 25th" posts here that want to make me tear my hair out sometimes. A lot of the older collectors - those who were into GI Joe before the 25th stuff came out - were rightly upset that the Club switched to 25th (and that includes me, btw). Perhaps a lot of the newer collectors may not be as inclined to come to the Convention - seems like the first time is the hardest one to make your mind up about, but once you go once you want to come back - and I have no doubt that RAH will sell big there as always. All I'm saying is that the new influx of 25th collectors will likely drive up the price of these exclusives more so than we've seen previously on the secondary market, that's all, so if you want 'em, get 'em now. Just my opinion, based on the aftermarket prices of "rare" 25th-style figures and exclusives.

I'm wondering when we'll hear about the other exclusives for the convention this year? There always seems to be a smaller set connected to the main 15 figure set, and at least one vehicle. I've got a line on the Crimson Sabotage set, but I'd really like to get the rest if they're going to be 25th style.
(sorry RAH guys)
