Never have I ever given much thought to the value of these Joe figures we all collect. Like most of you probably do, I take good care of the figures and accessories in case I ever do sell I'll get the most back possible. Also, I've done a fair amount of selling stuff on ebay...not for profit, just stuff I no longer felt that it fit in the collection. Bottom line, I'm simply not in it for any return on my money.
But WHOA, the Heartwrencher I just sold...wow. What happened here? This has to be in top percentage of figures in which value increased so rapidly after release in modern era. Only Night Force Crazy Legs maybe? Seriously though, figure sold for $168.00 without the vehicle. Anybody have a guess on what the production run was on these figures? Why the high prices?

People like Noks and Noks chicks?
I sold that thing so fast, like half an hour turn around from when I opened it, photoed it, listed it and accepted an offer for $125. I just needed that Nok Stinger. Really hoping they do other Nok decoed vehicles...

The fact that the Club only made enough for the pre-order and that's it caught everyone off guard.
I ended up buying only 2, selling the figure from one set and the entire second set and ended up, basically, with a free Stinger. So I came out pretty good.

With the vehicle, they seem to be going for mid-200s, and the vehicle alone seems to sell for around $100, so that price isn't all that far off the going eBay prices for someone who just wants the figure and not the vehicle.

This is one of those things that's always gonna bother me. The fact they did a preorder in limited quantities is always going to baffle me. Most preorders are done either to order or to order plus some to sell in the store. The club just did their own thing and made as few as possible it seems and preordered til they were gone, leaving money on the table... made no sense from a business perspective. Unless they did so on purpose to create demand and are now scalping the toys themselves on ebay lol.

Maybe they didn't want to be stuck with inventory... underestimated the popularity maybe?

I’m sure the success of the stinger lead to the choice of adding Zartan and his bike...
