Ok, so I emailed the one women at funpub who has been a great help to me so far, Karen answers every email and is very helpful and informative. I let her know I didnt want to know the attendee exclusives just the prices of the 2 pk, 3 pk, vehicles, and GIJCC bagged and carded IceBerg. she said she did not know them and that they usually establish the prices a day or two priro to the con. she did say that the cost ofeach item will be slightly more than last year (she didnt give a reason) so if those of you who went last year could give an exact account of what each of the items below cost last year so we can get a ball park idea that would be great, as this is my first con and so far I have been on schedule with all preplanning now I have to figure out what costs to expect and save up for it. So if one of you could fill in the blanks below that would be greatly appreciated.
2 pk $ 3 pk $ small vehicle $ medium vehicle $ Large vehicle $ GIJCC bagged figure $ GIJCC carde figure $ |

I'm thinking they are upping the prices as close as they can to market demand (ebay prices). The vehicles seemed to be there last year, I think I may have even saw a tanker selling one of them actually below cost. The paradrop from last year seemed to be about 35 after the con. The 2 pack and 3 pack I guess was worth more than con prices, especially when sold seperately. As the prices increase at the con, there has to be a line at which the market just won't pay more. As much as I liked the oktober guard convoy truck, it's hard to compare that to the sdcc shockwave hisstank set with two figures, soundwave and cassettes, and nice packaging. The retail skystriker for 35... I dig the oktober guard though. How much were sdcc carded jinxes this past year?

Savage will try to cash grab whatever he can. Hopefully no more stuff from other lines. It just doesn't work. Especially $100 for a $10 clearanced indy truck.

Do you think everything will still have some quntities left if I come on Saturday. I'm trying to plan wether I should get there first thing Thursday or if it would be ok to just come on the weekend. The exclusives might be cool for me (would have loved the annihilators, maybe Darklon-the vehicles, nah). $375-400 is crazy for what 3 vehicles and 8 figures? If it's any higher Savage can just cash grab himself out of business for all I care. This whole "Put it on Ebay for double" is driving collectors away. Eventually no one will care anymore if prices continue to go up. At some point, People will complacent with buying and just be happy with what they have. These cons are getting out of hand. I just saw an SDCC red jinx sell on ebay for like $25. So, I think we are getting close to the peak of the prices. When people buy it to flip it and don't get anymore than what they paid for it, you'll start to see more exclusives not selling out.

Not sure where the Texas sales tax comes into play considering this year the items will be purchased in Indiana and last year was in NOLA.
Indiana sales tax is 7% Last year's NOLA sales tax was 9% I think. Last year's numbers: 2-pack (limit 2 per person) - $58 3-pack (limit 1 per person) - $69 Truck (limit 1 per person) - $99 Helicopter (limit 1 per person) - $75 Footloose (limit 1 per MEMBER) - $30 Loose Footloose (limit 1 per member) -$25 Paratrooper Figure (limit 1 until Saturday) - $30 2011 Was 2-pack - $45 Stinger - $60 Moccasin - $35 Para Tele Viper - $20 Cobra Commander - $22 Carded Dial Tone - $25 Commit these to memory folks, people ask this question over and over. And I will be honest with you, if you are coming through under General Admission and not as a registered attendee, chances are very slim that any of the exclusives will make it to Saturday short of showing up on eBay and on dealer tables. Sorry.

Yeah, I had forgot about the sales tax, that adds up for sure. I wouldn't count on anything being available saturday morning, it could happen though with the price increases decreasing demand.
