From what I've been able to tell over the last few years, the Joe Club shop never has these available for sale...so if you don't attend then you're stuck trying to acquire one from the secondary market.
Because of the switch to the 8" scale with this year's figure, do you think it'll be equally as "hard to find" or have the same steep mark up as in figures from years past? I usually don't mind a small mark up, but for what some of the convention stuff is being sold for (or rather what the sellers are asking) is very very high. That said I managed to find this year's parachute figure on eBay with a 'Buy It Now' price of $40. That's only $20 more than the convention price so that wasn't too bad. Think I got a good deal? Or do you think they'll be others later for cheaper? It's always so hard to gauge limited convention items like these...or at least it is for me.

I always wait and see when it comes to the Con figures. Most of the stuff ends up at the Club store. The last 2 years parachute figure were available there(and might still be available) and I dont think this one will be any different

It always puzzles me how right after an exclusive, or con figure is released, the 2ndary market seems instantaneously able to fix a price that all dealers seem to agree with. No more; no less.
Anyone else notice that? -PJ |

I paid $40.00 for mine, but I also seen at least 6-7 of them go for $90+ already.
