Yep. Between FSS / Club Exclusives, Boss Fight, Marauder, Avacslab, Lanard, and Hiya Toys, I have to make tough choices about what I can afford. And that's not even counting the Kickstarters that I had to skip entirely like EFR, Zombie Lab.
It may sound like I'm whining, but my point is that we are living in a Golden Age of 1:18 that I don't think people are appreciating. But more importantly, I think market saturation is a hazard. We've got Kickstarters for Sectaurs and Marauder scheduled for the very near future, and when these projects compete with each other they create a situation where neither can reach their full potential.

Before the price was announced...
And after the price is announced at $65...

To be fair, what one thought the price would be hardly means they also think that it's a fair price.
I thought it was going to be around $80. I would consider that overpriced. Granted, I think by Club standards, 65 is reasonable, if not a good price. It's the shipping that ultimately pushes me out.

Pre-ordered........
$77.74 shipped is a bit pricey, but at the end of the day, I'm OK with it. One gripe, I wish the colors were a little closer to the original vintage Ground Assault Stinger. Other than that, I'm definitely looking forward to this set, well done club. |

Gosh, I want to, but I just can't. I think I'll take my chances on leftovers at the end of club sale. Or else I will do without.

I’ve switched over to all digital comics and it’s much easier/cheaper to do Marvel’s Unlimited subscription. I subscribe to that. If IDW went the same route for $10 a month like Marvel does I would be on board.

I live roughly 30 miles from Club Headquarters. I put a Set in my cart this morning and it totaled over $80 I did not pull the trigger. I will probably try to swing a deal with somebody who only wants the figure. I want the vehicle.

Bingo. $65 with the Club really means $80 minimum.
I live roughly 30 miles from Club Headquarters. I put a Set in my cart this morning and it totaled over $80 I did not pull the trigger. I will probably try to swing a deal with somebody who only wants the figure. I want the vehicle. Which really informs me that after the awe moment of initially seeing this thing wears off, I don't really want it all that badly.

Yes it’s a bit pricey but I’m happy to spend a little bit more money than usual for something than not get it at all. I’m not rich but really enjoy gi joe to the point where spending money on things like this makes me happy to have. I think her head sculpt looks great
