Set of 3 for $49.99? That's $16.66 a figure and that's not counting shipping. A little too expensive for me for retail based figures. Yes, it would be different if the Club was offering their figures for $16 a piece since those will never make it to retail. But these??? Uhh...No.

I have really mixed feelings on preordering this wave. Late wave movie figures are notoriously scarce, and I really want these 3 figures, but at the same time (with shipping) you're essentially paying twice the retail cost if you preorder them. However, that could end up being a good investment if they are super hard to find you would easily save the money in time and gas having to drive all the place and come up with nothing. Tough call. How many of you guys are gonna do this?

Then, I jumped on a pre-order for Cover Girl at $49.99 with BBTS, but was able to get two more when the Club put them up for sale at $37.50. Same thing happened with a few other things like the Target Ultimate Battle Pack, I thought they were going to be rare and a few weeks later I saw one for half. So when I think ahead and spend more $$$, I usually find them, but when I lollygag and don't, my luck folds in the cards and I'm left without. Like a lot of others, all I really want is a Night Viper or two. I could live without the rest but in order to secure one now, I need to spend a bunch on ones I don't really want. I guess I could go the case pack route and donate the ones I don't want to Toys For Tots. Last edited by Xerofall; 06-27-2013 at 05:35 PM.. |

If these were POC figures I would pay the preorder price. But they are not. I'll take my chances with target.

I jumped on these and it wasn't a tough decision. Do not roll the dice on this wave. Night Viper is going to be the next 30th Storm Shadow.

I'm not paying these prices. The hunt is part of the thrill for me. All you guys just put fear in each other with that "the next 30th Storm Shadow" bs. you all said the same thing about colton, shadow tracker or whatever figure is one per case.

I hate the hunt.

I order a set from dorkside last week and wanted to get another set in the wild. I just order a set from smalljoes an hour a go cause I don't want to take the chance like I did with ren SS. I will still try to hunt some down though.
