Can't they just order more sets from the factory? They did it before a couple of years ago, when the Oktober Guard con set proved to be a very popular set.
Seems like a win-win type situation: more sets for more fans, more money for them. |

And risk having that set sit around unable to sell within the time frame that they have before their contract is up? I doubt that they are willing to take that risk. I'm sure by the end of their contract Brian would want to get rid of all inventory.

I think this year of all others, there is the fear of being left with product after the con.
Which reminds me, does anyone think we'll see some older con sets go back up for sale on their site before they close the doors for good?

There are so many 80’s figures not made yet. I hope Hasbro will finish the rest of what ever the club leaves on the table after there gone. There are ten 87-88 vehicle drivers alone that haven’t been produced in ME form yet so a vehicle driver set would be great if hasbro could give us a hascon driver set. I personally think we NEED Fastdraw, Blizzard and Lightfoot in FSS 8. Fastdraw Fastdraw Fastdraw. He is the only figure in the main line up ( besides blue dress Gung Ho) we haven’t gotten,

I think Classic colors Hardball, Spirit (assuming new head sculpt for SM), and Battle Corp Bludd (again, assuming a new head sculpt for PP) are safe bets. I'd also throw in whoever the 6.0 mystery fig is in classic colors, as well. And Headman does seem like a strong possibility.

That's what I'm kind of hoping for. But then wouldn't that be a matter of what Brian is going to sell out of his own personal collection?

eBay prices would have been reasonable...the mark-up was INSANE. They were offering items in the Transformers store that was still available in the GI Joe store for much, much less. The set with Ninja Force Scarlett was $129 in the TF store while still sitting at $79 in the GI Joe. It was at that point that I (finally) realized how questionable their business tactics were/are.

There are some older O-ring con sets I regret not picking up when I had the chance.
