______________________________________

Today we will know or as Dexter likes to say, "Tonight's the night". We should know at or around 6 pm central time. Who/what do you think they will be?

-Who is the Parachute Drop Figure?

-Who is in the 2-Pack if there is one?

-Who is in the 3-pack if there is one?

-What is the Small Vehicle if there is one?

-What is the Large Vehicle if there is one?

-Who or what is the Free Attendee Exclusive?

-We already know that there will be a carded Footloose.

-Who is the Parachute Drop Figure? - Iron Anvil

-Who is in the 2-Pack if there is one? - 2 of the Oktober Guard we aren't getting from the box set

-Who is in the 3-pack if there is one? - Annihilator, Ferret & Undertow

-What is the Small Vehicle if there is one? - A.G.P. w/Nullifier

-What is the Large Vehicle if there is one? - Repainted PoC/30th Vamp for Oktober Guard w/Volga

-Who or what is the Free Attendee Exclusive? - Iron Grenadier Mech

The carded Footloose was confirmed? I thought there'd be one! That'll sell for $250 plus on the aftermarket.

has this all been confirmed or is this a guess?

*edit* sorry, it was real early and I thought I had missed something.

"Who/what do you think they will be?"

I like the way you think.

Actually, that list would be pretty cool.

My biggest fear is that a character like Metal Head Will be one of the exclusives, only because I am on able to attend and don't think I will be able to afford one from the secondary market.

My Wishful Guesses:

-Who is the Parachute Drop Figure? (Big Bear)

-Who is in the 2-Pack if there is one? (Dragonsky & Iceberg)

-Who is in the 3-pack if there is one? (Darklon, Metal-Head & General Mayhem)

-What is the Small Vehicle if there is one? (Rock Slide w/ Dragonsky)

-What is the Large Vehicle if there is one? (IG Condor Z25)

-Who or what is the Free Attendee Exclusive? (IG Mech)

This^

The aftermarket is going to be quite healthy on any of those above guesses.

I would even assume that there might be some international figures in there as well to fill in some of those gaps like any of the following:

2-Pack (Action Force):
Dolphin
Moondancer

2-Pack (South American):
Cobra Invasor
Cobra Mortal
Red Jackal

3-Pack (Action Force):
Gaucho
Hunter
Jammer

Small Vehicle:
Despoiler w/ Red Jackal

Large Vehicle:
PoC V.A.M.P. w/ Red Laser

I'm sure it will all be stuff I can't afford on the secondary market.

Word of Advise, Buy as soon as you see the item that you want for the lowest price.

I love your choices and the way you think on this one!

I'm hope they would role out the remaining O.G. members. I think we have enough I.G. in the boxed set, as cool as they look. Like some one mentioned earlier I'd be happy with any classic Joe that has not been done yet, but those characters seems to be saved for the membership figures.

Personally, I'll be selling or trading any of those. More likely trading.

I just kind of hope these aren't too awesome. More awesome = more expensive.

If your list is correct, then I hope an attendee will take pity on me and sell me their Iceberg and Metal Head for a price we are both happy with.

That's the truth. For those of us who can't go it's that or don't get them. I haven't seen con many items from 2007 and beyond come down in price over time. I had to go to ebay for my con set and though I paid well above the club price I haveonly seen the con sets go up from there. I held off on the international figures from 2009 only to see them skyrocket above my price range.

I am going to spend so much money and time on ebay this weekend.

- I would love to get my hands on any of these figures!!!

Be careful.

Anyone else get the Club email about *POSSIBLE* additional parachute drop, freebie item and attendee exclusives being made?

[QUOTE=89PILOT;3761119]I really hope its something like this. I have a feeling it wont be so polarized around the OG and IG stuff as most have mentioned. They like to spread the love with the international figures too which is fine in my book as I dont collect those lol...

No why don't you paste it for us all to read so as not to start rioting I'n the streets

Oh what the heck, let's riot anyway it's a slow news day.

I'm game let's do it

Ha ha, you and me both, mate. I postponed some purchases the last couple of weeks for the exclusives.

I thought the convention didn't start until friday.

So how much should I have stowed away to snag stuff off the 'Bay?

Here's about what I paid for last year's items off eBay:

Relampago/Gatilho 2-pack: $75
Python Tele-Viper Officer (Parachute Pack): $45
Python Stinger w.Motor-Viper: $125
Armadillo (Free Door prize): $25

About $2000 to play with, or it wont be pretty....sdcc is goign to be another couple thousand off ebay lol...expensive year

Today the 2 pack = $175 or so and the Stinger is around $300, I believe. If you like something, you may just bite the bullet and get it now. Prices could go do, but seems unlikely right now given the lack of retail product.

Anyone else feel like we are in a bubble with pricing (Cons, SDCC, NYCC), this does not feel sustainable......

Platinum ticket holders get to take what they want tonight, I think.

You got some good prices!

But I suspect his year it may well be about double all that. I'm sure the Con-Set selling out pre-Con is going to create a feeding frenzy for the rest of the Con items.

That would be some of best extras ever! I don't understand why they don't do these, it's some of the few they can actually do accurately with existing parts. However, I'd be willing to bet if they did do them, they just couldn't resist the urge to re-imagine them.

I wonder what prices will be like in 2016 when China's economy overtakes the US's?

The golden ticket guys are supposed to be able to get 3 of everything (2 extra sets). If the club allows those jokers to double dip the line and hit thursday morning also and those of us arriving for pick up on thursday night find out the extras are sold out... I already made the trip last year, was able to get there saturday morning and everything was sold out. We shall see.

It already has...

The pickup for those that had taken a tour is tonight. The convention exclusives are in the Brochure/Guige/comic that they ill get tonight at/around 6 pm cst. We will know tonight waht the exclusives are as long as someone posts them on here. The Convention actually starts tomorrow evening at 4pm cst for the Golden Ticketeers to start registering and picking up their sets. The Club Store opens at 5pm CST for those Golden Ticketeers and at 6pm cst for the regular attendees. Also, the next day, the Golden Ticketeers also get to jump ahead of everyone that has not registered yet for the Club Store at 10:30 AM. Those are the big perks of having a Golden Ticket. It is likely that they can get 6 or more sets of all of the attendee exclusives.

1:18 scale thin mints and chuckalux (that's the rumor anyway)

Nice they had what 75 golden tickets sell out so if they are getting 6 of everything thats 450 items sold instantly...hope they have more then 600 of each item...

How will you even taste them with them being that small? Can't wait to see you there Short-Fuze.

Don't forget the 12-inch guys, they had 25 Golden Tickets and they can also buy the same amout of every 4-inch piece too that the 75 Golden Tickets can do as well. It could be 600 in that case as with regular attendees, Just say that there are 400 of them, that could be 1000 right there. I would not expect to see these at the Club store. The reason being, the Scalpers would make more money if they set the secondary market costs at their price range. In order to do so, all of the exclusives would have to be bought up.

..dbl post

Ah yeah, the 12inch guys will cry havoc and unleash the dogs of war...but I bet none of the golden tickets went to the 12inch peeps lol..they didnt veen sell outta thier con set that I am aware of...unless they just want to be mean...and buy all the stuff were looking for :(

I would assume that at least 10 of the 25 went to the 4-inch collectors.

It was mentioned along time ago about being sold at the con

All of these figures have nothing to do with Oktober Guard or IG theme I know none of them will be at the con..

This would be an amazingly cool lineup, but I'm really hoping we don't see mechs at all. Just not my thing. Still, I'd be happy with that set. Can you imagine the secondary market on that troop builder 3 pack, though? Ouch.

So, do golden ticket holders get extras of the attendee freebie? Or is that only one for each person?

Just one per attendee package.
