I've noticed that the con figures are going for much less in some cases then from years past.
I don't get why the OG set is still so much even after the rerelease. Do you think this lower price Is a reflection that the club might rerelease the night force set again? |

No. The club has said on their Facebook and twitter pages (in the past) that they knew a lot of fans were going to be upset with the re-release of the OG set and that it was a "special"case due to OG popularity. The club is still choking on 50 or so sets in the Club store after the re-release. And never has a re-release ever happened before the OG came out last year.
Also, I think the Night Force set took over a week to sell out so everyone had AMPLE time to get their orders in. I still don't know if we know the production numbers on this set, but I know it has to be MUCH higher than previous years. Last edited by cobraEdaco; 04-10-2013 at 07:23 AM.. |

It's only expensive if you're not a Club member and/or not willing to buy the whole set, given that it's currently available in the Club Store at "retail" price.
But as for why it's still so expensive on the secondary market? Because even with the second run, they're still among the rarest G.I. Joe figures out there, and obviously people still are willing to pay for them. I don't forsee the Club remaking the 2013 Con Set. However I -could- potentially see them selling the Troop Builders separately someday. |

Maybe people would rather deal with ebay sellers than the pre-concieved notion that the Club is corrupt. ;). I don't mind them, but I'm sure some do.
Also, it still costs over $365 (I think) on the club store. So that's not anything to slouch at either. Actually, prices have come down quite a bit because of the re-release. |

Actually, just did a check. They have about 20 sets of the OG left on their club store.

Also the night force set is only cheap right now because there are still several of them available on the secondary market, in a few months you will see the supply decline and the cost rise especially after the FSS 2 starts shipping and everyone gets night force Falcon and Crazy Legs
