Well, the bright side is since there's not going to be a JoeCon next year, you're actually SAVING thousands of dollars!

I thought about getting on there and letting them have it, but there's really no point. It won't change anything and all they'll do is ban me, which I could care less about. The prices for these figures has pissed me off far greater than editing my posts or banning me from their forums.

So, a)please don't anoint me a white knight as I think their customer service and product is terrible and b) don't hate me for flipping.
I think the cost of the final 12 is in direct response to all the flipping of the FSS/JoeCon figures we have collectively done as a community over the years. Every year (except FSS 3 as I thought the lineup was weak) I have bought multiple subs to expressly sell them off in order to pay for the one set I keep. Below you will see the results from FSS 7 and my selling off of 3 subs. The cost is calculated as 4 subs so I can track when I have paid off the set I keep, which is why the math may seem a little wonky. My reasoning is that there are plenty of people, including on this site, who openly only want to cherry pick out some of the figures, meaning there is a chance for people to sell off a sub in pieces. It benefits everyone and it's not like the subs have had a limited run, their a build-to-order process, so I'm not like the guys at the JoeCon trampling people for a parachute figure. I think, however, that the costs of the final 12 are in direct relation to the secondary market as FP can easily look at sales data and realize their product is being sold on the secondary market for the below profits. So, if they raise their prices to match what the secondary market can sustain, then they can reap the profits instead of losing out on them to people like me and the other sellers. I had to look at the final 12 price long and hard, and in order to pay for me to be able to keep a set for free of the final 12, I would have to buy 4 subs and then sell three sets individually for no less than $75 for each figure on the secondary market. I don't think the market is there for this lineup as it pales in comparison to FSS 8, which will do very, very well. The only thing that gives me pause on F12 is that FSS7 had a production run of 1700 sets. I'm betting this has a production run of half that number, if not less, which skews the long term pricing into territory I cannot predict as they could end up like the Sky Patrol glider figures or some could perform like NF Chuckles and Freestyle. In the end though, I think we as a community only have ourselves to blame for their pricing being what it is. There are very few people who will read this who have not sold Con or FSS figures or rare figures for a profit, it's the nature of a free market economy. BTW, I have never sold off Con figures that other people have picked up for me. Won't do it.

Good grief! I was expecting ridiculous prices, but this is even more than I thought.
Luckily, I really only wanted Dodger anyway. I’m willing to buy a set for him, because I’m sure I can unload the Viper, but before I go through that, I gotta ask: did someone order a ton of them for the Vipers and would sell me a Dodger? I will pay more than Zap’s $10 offer.

If this is the end of the modern 1:18 Joe era, what a sour taste to leave in the mouth. I hope it isn't the end but the Club sure seems to think so. It also shows what little respect they had for the community in the first place, to do such a lousy cash grab.
Really, shame on Hasbro for getting involved with these crooks in the first place. I realize they weren't that bad to start but they've never been great and only gotten progressively worse. |
