GIClub obviously isn't posting anything. Anyone here any details about the subscription figures? Do you have to pay up front andjust get whatever they make wether you like it or not?

Yeah, I was pretty pleased (and surprised) to see him.

Yeah I'm interested to hear something about this too. Seems like a lost opportunity that the official website hasn't been updated to give people some more info about this, but that's just what I would have done....

I've even raised comments about non-attendees to my head-honcho. His reply, "The attendees are what were concerned with first of all. They paid the money for first reports. The buzz will take care of itself for the non-attendees".

Dont be too rough on them. Thats the whole reason for the con. The only people that are making "reports" are the con-goers themselves. The official sites are there keeping the people who paid the money happy with sites and sounds. People there hear the news, they report it on the forums and get all of us excited. Then hasbro, GIJCC, smalljoes, BBTS wont update the sites until they get back home and recover and then they will put it up on their respective sites on their timetables. The online companies are on "Vacation" and running their shops in the dealers room at the con.

Right but even I got buzzed and checked the e-tailers for the hiss-scout and armor cycle. Then yeah it hit me, they dont even want to look at a computer screen anymore than they have to.

Well, I can see that Lifeline, Kwinn, Stalker Sci-Fi and the Data Viper will have to be added to my collection. As someone else said, Hasbro has definitely settled the whole pacifist issue with Lifeline once and for all. Hope they give him a decent filecard, and the others too. Are we definitely getting an Airtight, too? Must've missed him.

I'm still psyched that Lifeline is now a PJ.
That rocks. I'm iffy on the whole subscription thing. It sounds like you have to subscribe for the 12 figures to get the 13th. But I already don't want one of the 2 first "wave". I want Quarrel. I don't want Nano-BAT. I hope they let us know what all the figures are. If the 13th is awesome and there's only 1 or 2 out of the 12 that I wouldn't want, then it would be worth the subscription. But if it ends up that I only want 1 out of the 2 each month, then it's not worth the subscription. I'm also worried about what this means for ARAH figures at retail. If the Club is doing a subscription and it lasts beyond the 6 month trial then Hasbro wouldn't have any motivation to release ARAH figures anymore since the collectors would get their fix from the Club and that would free up Hasbro to do non-ARAH stuff at retail.

Yeah, and he looks amazing! Pretty much on par with the Sci-Fi and Lifeline figures.

Sci-Fi comes with two helments: 1/2 visor and full visor. And both are removable.
The Renegades figures are great. Get to add some new troops to the ranks. Renegades Scarlett will be my default. That outfit is much more believable then her vintage outfit. Spandex in a military outfit just never quite worked for me.
