Can't spell "convention" without "con".

Exclusive Joes as garden gnomes! Sometimes I wonder if they actually do have trouble posting to their site & it takes them all this time to do it. The other theory is they take the whole previous day just to create the mock-ups etc. Like there is no reason to plan out anything until it is time to do it.

That thought of a classic major blood and spirit in fss8 .....not sure how I feel about it personally. I love my 25th Major Blood and honestly don't mind the 25th spirit. Even if they have new head sculpts and would look better than their 2007 25th versions, bottom line its still taking up 2 slots in the 13 figure subscription. I think I would rather have a unreleased character. I mean 1 out of the 13th is already a repaint for sure-Hardball. Add Major Blood and Spirit and that only leaves us 10 character slots left

Hardball never had a repaint in the o-ring days, so they have no basis for doing one and wasting a slot that way. The v1 Hardball should be part of the JoeCon set. The weapon was already re-used on a previous FSS figure. They are most likely building his buck using existing mold parts, so other than the unique head, there's probably nothing that's single-use, so it's probably not even a must-repaint figure for them. As much as the Club loves repaints, I don't think even they would want to incur that much ire.

In 2007 the Club "claimed" they were making reveals as they got the figures in from China. As they were releasing them I was downloading them from the club site to mock-up a poster. While I was looking at the metadata I noticed that the photo creation date were all the same date.
Guess how long that post stayed up on the club forum. The club acts like parents trying to preserve the magic of Christmas, when really they should just lean into the fact that we are grown man-children who would rather just see everything up front and make up our own decisions. We don't need a Snake-Eyes on the Shelf to enjoy the con.

Members!
We have had a fantastic response to this year's convention for both attending and non-attending packages. We appreciate your enthusiasm! Currently, we believe that we will be able to increase the production run for both 3 3/4" boxed and loose sets (attending and non-attending). However, our contacts in China have now shut down for Chinese New Year. We have requested that they increase our production run (which won't happen for another couple of months). It will take a few weeks until we have confirmation back from them concerning our request. Chinese New Year runs through the first week in March. Each factory has a different schedule as to when they return to work. In the meantime, if you are interested in an 3 3/4" attending, non-attending or a loose set, please let us know by putting yourself on the wait list by sending an email to: [email protected]. Please DO NOT CALL about the list. We will notify you about processing your request when the additional quantities are available. You will receive a confirmation email that you are on the list. If you have already contacted us and were told that we have placed you on the waitlist, you do not need to email us. Please don't get on the list 2x. The list will be worked in the order it was received. Please place in the title of the email one of the following: American Hero waitlist, Homefront Hero waitlist, Attending loose set waitlist, Non-attending loose set waitlist. In the body of the email please provide your full name and phone number. Being on the waitlist does NOT guarantee that you will get what you requested, as we may exhaust the additional quantities ordered. In addition, the 12" attending and non-attending sets are still available. Do not order a 12" attending set and hope that we will swap it for the 3 3/4" set. We will not swap sets. The Staybridge Hotel block is now sold out. We are investigating a third hotel in the area, so please watch for future emails. If you collect GI Joe, you owe it to yourself and your collecting friends to be at this show! GIJoeCon.com Does anybody received a feedback after mail sent to Santa Club? |

And that's is why these sets will never hold value. He just increased production falsely implying limited goods on sale. That's the Franklin Mint scheme all over again!
