I'm absolutely fine with there being Convention exclusives and that I may or may not miss out on them. I'm fine with that.
I'm also fine with them releasing the figures in a second run. Just wish there was a way to make them different enough so that the Con set is still special and exclusive. |

I guess this means the set that those of us bought the first time around, advertised as a limited edition collectible, really isn't now. It's pretty dishonest of the club of do this in my opinion, and it really makes believing anything they say rather impossible. I guess we'll now see how this impacts their sales of the 2013 con set...

Yep, and I'm one of them. Congrats to the club. They've just managed to set a really bad precedent.

At $360 a pop, they're still going to be exclusive and limited.

Seems to me the club should have charged extra $50 or so to discourage waiting when they are first released and encourage attending the con.

I like the idea of a second run or a preorder for any item- it allows everybody to have a chance to own it without being gouged by resellers.
As a collector, I want everyone to be able to share in the fun of the hobby- and part of the fun is the social aspect. I do not believe in being a 'toy elitist' or a 'toy snob'. Good looking out for the collectors GI Joe Collector Club! |

1. I hope they won't charge until Spring. Otherwise, I probably will miss out again.
2. Does anyone want the Oktober Guard & Voltar? I just want the IGs. That would make it way more possible to buy now if I could go semi-halfsies with someone else. |
