I cant miss the Club, when I was getting back into GI Joe they was a year away or more of shutting shop, that an being on the other side of the pond it was far more even more expensive with international shipping customs and stuff ontop or pop to the next Joecon convention. Sucks really, I do like their stuff they pumped out, well most of it, have a good few bits now, but still looking for more… what I will say though, some of them loose figure FSS prices people make up on eBay etc are a complete joke, carded, moc card sure, but not open products. Still, theres also affordable club stuff too of course!

I miss the club. So many great figures. I was a bit relieved when they stopped because of how much money I saved but I would have liked it if they kept going for 2 more years. I wanted headman and the headhunters and a couple other sets

The combination of the club’s predatory practices / poor service and the rise in Indie companies has left me not missing them at all.

I never joined, and only have 3 of those figures, but some of them were incredible. Slice is definitely in my top 5 figures of all time.

I don't miss the Club, but I do miss the conventions. I REALLY wish we still had an annual actual Joecon.

Wish they'd ended sooner.
They did a lot to make modern GI JOE collecting a rich man's hobby. They rarely listened to their members. They censored their message boards because they were fragile elitist cowards. |

I'm by no means a rich man but I was able to get the sets and figures I wanted. I started collecting Joes as an E6 in the military in 2012 and was married with 3 kids. I wasnt exactly rolling in cash. I had to budget for it but it was doable.

I liked some of their products, but some of the stuff like the convention attendee exclusives were just too expensive to get.
I was lucky that I had a source in the US that was able to order the FSS for me and ship it to me all at once. It was cheaper than doing it through the club cause from what I heard from my Canadian friends, they get charged shipping for each shipment and also get dinged by Canada customs. It ends up being more expensive paying for club shipping to Canada than it was to pay them to ship to my friend and then pay to have him ship them all at once to me. I've only been to the San Fran convention and unfortunately, I didn't know many on the site other than just some trades here and there so I didn't really meet anyone from the tank when I was there.
