awesome work. i plan on opening all of mine that i haven't yet. except for my upside down Iron Klaw; that was too funny of a QA/QC fail that i got a second one at the time and opened him.
and i also think TNT is awesome. it's nice to see an awesome sleeper figure in a line though. Quote:

Billy started spiking big time after I posted this. $70 is now the low end for a loose figure. He's gone for $100 twice and a whole lot of "offer accepteds" where the starting price was well over $100. Now there's only one on eBay for sale at all, with an ask of $150.
Looks like some other FSS 4.0 are climbing up. Pathfinder is more of a $70 figure now. And Nunchuk's approaching $70 as well. Carla Greer is $60 minimum, and the only two asks for her right now are $120 and up! Interrogator at $35 is history now too...$45 is the minimum. On the flipside, Jammer and TF Sneak Peek are trending even lower than they were before, which seems to continue an FSS "sorting" trend where the figures start out closer in price in the beginning but, over time, the duds drop lower and the studs soar higher. So for maximum profit, sell the duds early but hang onto the studs for the long term. Of the 8 figures the club is still selling for $40, Pathfinder is one of them, so he now looks like a good investment to buy from the club and flip for a small profit now or hang onto until they sell out.

8 of the FSS 2.0 figures are on the lower half of the list.
That can't have been good. . . . . . . . . |

I'm legit surprised how low Interrogator is. Super-grateful I managed to pick him up for $40ish though, along with TJbang for the same price. But I would've expected a named, 90s Cobra to be more popular, especially with nothing particularly being wrong with the figure.
Glad I got Nunchuk before the price went nuts too. |

It is a little odd that Interrogator is so much less popular than Cesspool, both 1991 figures. I guess Interrogator didn't get as much play in the comics and cartoons? I could understand if Gristle was doing this bad. At least the only other named Cobra from 1991, Sky Creeper, is doing worse. As of now Interrogator's the 6th least popular figure in FSS 4.0. The Club only had 9 of him left as of yesterday so he is about to sell out and become a strictly secondary market piece very soon, along with Ice Creeper who they had 6 of.

Awwsome work getting this list together JJ. I am glad that I ordered the Subs and didn't just cherry pick becasue it looks like it would've cost me way more in the long run.

By ordering you were paying $24-31 per figure depending on how many subs you got and which one it was. It's difficult to get any of the figures for much cheaper than that, especially adding in shipping, and some you will always have to pay a lot more than that. Maybe FSS 2.0 could've been gotten cheaper if you ordered the hot ones from the club right away and then waited until they had their big discount sale on all the other ones. But I'd bet it'd be very hard to find anyone who managed to pay less for any entire FSS set than it would've cost to order it directly.

It is almost a given that in every sub you are going to have at least one $90 dollar figure and two more at $50 each in the secondary market. So that is $190 for three of the thirteen. So if the cost of the sub is $480 all in then the other 10 figures are worth at least $29 each on average. So from my perspective it is worth doing the sub unless you are only going to be interested in three or four. And those three or four are not the most popular such as Big Boa, Cover Girl, Raptor etc.
