I missed out on the Club's Dialtone when he first came out. In my mind at that time a figure shouldn't be that much to get ($44 yearly membership plus whatever he cost to get carded and signed.)
I figured I'd get him later on... then suddenly he skyrocketed in price.. some over $1000, I'm not kidding... I came to terms that I might not ever get him. I made my own custom, one of my first customed figures in fact. I was really happy with him too. I no longer needed the figure... but not having him carded started to grind on me, haha. Luckily now he's hovering around the $200-250 range, I lost out on a few that went above $250. That was my limit... but then I finally got one, signed no less, for a lot less. He was the last ARAH styled modern carded Joe I need to complete my collection and I got him!

I have found that if you are patient you can usually get a great deal on everything.
I was looking for a carded Space Shot and everything was $50 and above then I ended up winning a lot of 3 carded figs for $37 and one was Space Shot. |

Nice! I went through pretty much the same process. I can’t remember if mine is signed, I think I may be because it’s cheaper.

Yeah that’s the only carded ME figure that I missed out on. Well kinda missed out on. I was at that 2011 Orlando convention as general admission attendee and could have bought him for $85 on the floor and remember passing him up because he was to much. Kicking myself still to this day.

The clubs version is not impressive at all. Not a good parts selection either. ALmost every single custom I've seen of him has been better than the club version.

Congrats, dude. I got one for around 175 about a year ago (not signed) when I got tired of not having a modern Dialtone in the proper color scheme. Ended up keeping him carded (so far) and figure I'll only pop the top when I've secured the rest of the ARAH figures I want in the collection and am sure I want to lose significant value on him.

Their build stinks, but the whole package is nice. I love the card art.

Good for you Xero, I had a similar experience. Couldn't find him for under $200 so I made a custom, which was my first, but lucked out later by buying an exclusives lot with him in it.
