I understand your frustration completely but I'm not picking sides when I ask this, but what else do you expect from a at-home business? I mean, this isn't Hasbro or any other major toy maker. It's a at-home business. I'm assuming that because when I Googled their address on the map it shows a house.

I already gave them a phone call to put in my official complaint. I'm done with Joecon, I'm done with the club. This was the last time. I rearrange my schedules this week and last week to be ready for the minutes or so I would have to get my registration ready and there's a one hour notice that goes up on facebook. No pre-warning on e-mail, didn't even get the e-mail til after registration had already sold out the golden package. You jerk around people for two weeks with registration coming soon, it's gonna be tomorrow, oops no it's not, next week sometime. So when it's finally up, you can't give a 24 hour notice? It was even requested by multiple people that you do so.
I love going to con and hanging out with my friends, and I generally love the con product, but I can't support this organization anymore. We bitch and we bitch about this stuff, and if we never actually do anything about it, what does that say to them? They'll keep throwing their money at us no matter what happens. This isn't a spur of the moment thing, it's been building up for a while now. I've been going to con for 10 years now, and Ive had it with every year something being a problem, and a major one at that. Just yesterday I was thinking why I put myself through the hassle each year. and today nailed it. I'm done with the hassle, and I'm done with the unprofessional way they put together almost everything they do. I'll show up to Indy to drop off the JoeDeclassified equipment for their booth, but that'll be it. There are other joecons out there that are a hell of a lot more fun and more relaxed that I can go to that I don't need to worry about this crap anymore. So I'm selling every club product I own which is essentially everything they've ever made. It'll most likely pay my travel costs to go to the next 5 or 6 Canada Con, Coil Con and Iowa Joe Meets. Hell I might as well use the cash to go the next Roll Out Roll Call too. The point of this isn't to be like woe is me I can't get a golden ticket. It's my solid complaint to the GIJoe Club letting them know they lost a faithful customer of the last decade who bought nearly everything they put out. I've most likely spent $10,000 on their cons and their product. The only thing I would like to see happen from this is they get their heads out of their asses and change the way they run shows for the better for the rest of the community because they're losing business. I'm not saying I'm the community, I'm just one guy who's done with the nonsense and would like them to stop messing around with the people who still go. Well said.

I think regardless of the club's operation system that you are being a bit harsh to say you will sell everything they made and not attend. Yea the club effs up a few times a year but thats life, shit happens, people need to learn how to be more understanding. Im not trying to stick up for the club, all im saying is you shouldn't let a hobby you enjoy work you up this much.
I have never had the pleasure to attend joecon but i get a few figs each year from the set I like and I always think how fun it would be able to go. IDK man I think you should take a minute and realize that it is really hard to please everyone and when you know in advance that the club is notorious for this kind of behaviour, then you should be even more prepared for it. Not that you should have to go out your way but not everything can be so simple sometime's and you just got to except that.

Yeah, but I didn't remember that they denied being a at-home business. But When I look up that address in Fort Worth on Google maps it takes me straight to a big house. Usually when I google a business address it takes me to a business.
