a few yrs ago, I sold my whole collection because I wanted to buy an engagement ring......sadly that didnt end well and i allowed my ex to keep the ring. NOW, I have a great job and I have extra $$ so I bought my friend's collection for $500. However, I am wanting figures 2008-present on card. I'll buy just about anything except for most Rise of Cobra figures.
I have a few questions still...... 1.....These collector's club figures, are they really selling the figures for such crazy prices? or are the prices lowered if youre a member? 2...... Are there more figures coming to retail after Retaliation figures? 3.......Anyone willing to help me catch up? |

those club figures were a little cheaper if you signed up for the subscription service than if you wait to try to find individual figures on their site when they are made available. the most sought after figures can climb in value on the secondary market, the less desirable do not.
they are the only new 4 inch figures we've heard about coming though. there are some 12 inch sideshow figures coming, but the 4 inch line is stalled. ive got the first 4 figures from the subscription service available for sale/trade myself. i don't think i'll be much "help" though. i need to get full value for them as there are some other pricey figures i need to add for myself.

1. Being a member is the only way to get them, unless you go aftermarket. The Club was offering them for like $25 a piece if you subscribed. $37.50 for any left overs from the Club Store. All other prices you see are aftermarket ranging from $29.99 all the way up to nearly $120 for the more sought after ones. eBay will be more or less also depending on the figure. 2. Not sure yet. 3. Lots aftermarket, eBay, BST, etc. You'll need to tell others who specifically you're looking for.

I will take number one, collectors club prices do not change for the Figure Subscription Service, they are about $37 if you buy them from the club store. Ebay seems to mirror this but some of the more sought after figures will probably go for more. Cesspool, Keel Haul seems to be the two that might command more, there is another thread for that so I digress. Being a member is the only way to sign up for the FSS or too buy from the club store but there is not a price drop for these. Welcome back
And I see CVdelgado and Xerofall got there replies in before mine. Yah what they said. |

I have a few questions still...... 1.....These collector's club figures, are they really selling the figures for such crazy prices? or are the prices lowered if youre a member? Last year a lot of people didn't think too much of the membership figure, Iceberg. The club is still selling a bagged version of it for only $25. I actually like this figure and if you sign up for membership I think it would be worth having for that price. The prior two membership figures, Footloose and Diatone, have been very well recieved and are going for about $65 and $200+ on eBay, respectively. If you sign up before March 16th, you will be eligible for this year's figure which is Cross Country. GIJCC Cross Country Final Sample Image - GI Joe News The fanbase is almost universally excited about him. Members can also sigh up for the yearly Figure Subscription Service which includes 12 figures, and an additional 13th one free if payments are on time. various retailers like www.dorksidetoys.com will sell FSS figures on a pre-order basis for those who elect not to pay for membership and or the Subscription Service. The Club also offers a Convention Set for Joeconn, and again you have to be a member to order any of this stuff from them. Aftermarket prices are whatever the market bears. Some Club figs are very cheap and are in stock in the Club Store and with some other internet retailers. Others like Big Boa and Covergirl from the first FSS wave cost over $100 on the secondary market. If you belong to the Club but haven't signed up for a subscription, they usually list their extras from the FSS in their store a month or two after they ship those figures out. The more desireable ones are never available for more than a few hours. Quote:

As for where to find stuff, check out Hisstank Sponsers over here on the sidebar -------------------------->> Other sites to note: G.I. Joe Action Figure Database - YoJoe.com - has a pictoral database of figures and vehicles from 1982 to present. It's always a treat to visit this site and I go there a lot to check out the trove of information it has. Perusing it is a great way to consider holes in your collection. Generals Joes – A blog about the importance (or unimportance) of little plastic men - Lots of top notch reviews here. It's also a good suppliment to hisstank for joe news. Welcome back to Joe!!!
