I was considering joining at the officer level but I'm curious what the members here think before shelling out 42 bucks.
Thanks for the input. |

Well they've revamped their magazine which is good and you get a free figure which is sometimes hit or miss. I've had it for three years now and overall I'm satisfied with it.

I joined this week finally, was on the fence. I'm not a ARAH collector, but I like the fact that the club is going in the direction of Big Lob. That alone makes me want to support the club, so I'll take one. Not to mention it's more Joe stuff to read once a month, and the exclusive 3 3/4 action man figures look neat. And realistilically, it costs me 38 bucks to fill up my car with gas......42 isn't that much money for these things.

I suppose, for the free figure (especially this year!) and potential discounts, especially if you plan on going to the con.
The magazine is a nice extra.

I just joined last month. I love they are doing a forgotten member like Big Lob and I really want Dr. Venom. So I think it should be worth it. Haven't gotten an issue yet so not sure how the magazine will be.

In a word " Yep "
I've been a member since 1999. Th CC has put out some outstanding products and the Con's are ton's of fun. It is a costly affair and not a necesary expense, but I feel the value for your money is well worth it if you have the budget to afford joining. It is only a good value if you intend to use the clubs full potential of offers. Basically it is a business and they intend to grift as much out of collectors as they can, but it is up to each member to decide for themselves if it's worth the expense. Sweede |

Hit or miss. Just joined for Big Lob.
I try not to buy anything from the Club store because shipping is INSANE, ridiculously insane. It's horrible. I ordered an 8 dollar figure and 10 dollar DVD pack, 18 total, shipping came to be 16 dollars. HELL NO!! Didn't go thru with it. I've tried to order stuff, but the shipping is just insane.

I asked a similar question in a different forum and the consensus was: 1) Don't join up just for the magazine. It is more like a brochure. 2) DO JOIN if you are interested in going to the cons. 3) DO Join for the exclusive figures. 4) Don't join if $20 is too much for an exclusive figure. 5) DO Join if you are interested in getting the free figure for the year. (I think the Big Lob offer ends soon.)
I keep going back and forth over the Dr. Venom figure - very cool to finally get a Venom figure, but not sure if I like how he looks. (I've seen some amazing customs of him on this site). But I really wanted to join for the magazine, and those who read said it was a nice perk but not a reason to join.

Magazine isn't that good. I was not impressed at all.
