So on the GIJCC site, under "Con Q&A" someone asked the following question:
How much money do I need for the convention souvenirs this year? The Club's response was this: Costs have risen dramatically for these low run type of items. Plan to bring what you did last year plus around an extra $100 to make sure you can get what you want to purchase. It's unbelievable to me that after all the Club has put it's patsies (err - "members") through in the past year that they would have such a dramatic cost increase on the toys this year. So which costs do they need to recoup - the costs associated with the data leak or the costs associated with moving the con date and location at the last minute? SMH.....

I'm going to assume the club expects most people to buy multiple items of many of the different pieces they have available. An extra $100 spread across everything you buy doesn't sound too bad at all.

and is it really that "unbelievable" that when their cost of doing business goes up they raise the prices on their items? That's a pretty basic concept...

Expense increases + cost stays the same = Loss
Expense increases + cost goes up = Profit Last I checked the club was a for Profit business.

If it's a purple DEMON for Voltar just wait 'til I have ridiculously driven up the price on the secondary market by purchasing every single one of them on Ebay.
