I had to laugh as well. If the Club were really concerned about those who weren't able to grab a set due to monetary conflicts (ie - JoeCon), then the registration period should have either:
A) Been shared a lot sooner. B) Have been extended a long time ago. C) Shared during or after JoeCon. I can only imagine how many people scrambled to ensure they had the funds available, only to have a typical "WJAFAYA" response from the club. |

Has it ever happened that they needed to add on to the overall sub number to make quota? Maybe this will make them smarten up for fss 7? I personally feel like they could have done a way better job of selecting in demand figures. That being said I will be happily adding 10/12 of this sub to my collection.
I guess I'm part of the problem lol!

That was my reaction as well. Sounds like they needed to add some extra figures to get up to their minimum order level with the manufacturer. Now they are trying to pass that along to us as a 'favor'. Sounds a bit fishy.

This worries me that 7.0 won't be worth the risk to them.

If they have a better line up, more new parts, and not jack up the price this wouldnt happen.
They are getting greedy. They are adding up the total of what these figures go for on the secondary market and see this as leaving money on the table.

Seems like a car or furniture dealer on tv. They run a sale and when they aren't as successful as they want to be then they say "due to overwhelming response, we are extending the sale another week".
I won't be going to JoeCon, but I can see where it would be quite a burden to their bread and butter with all of this expense hitting at once...but still.....Rangeviper88 hit it on the head. |

I see this as a positive. There might end up being 200+ sets of FSS 7.0 sitting in the club store at a discounted price a year from now. If I can pick up Ghostrider at $30 I just might do it.

I hope this is lumber to their face - they finally realize a mediocre line up poorly executed at a significant increase was pushing too far...
Or we'll be blamed for not supporting the Club when Hasbro pulls the plug. You know, because when we bitch, we're entitled collectors, but when we speak with our wallets, we're letting the industry down. |
