Do they have a line for butt hurt complainers who are sad that for once they won't be able to buy a toy on clearance or at Ross?

Last year con attendee items cost around $300 if you bought one of everything. So an additional $100 for this years' items is a 33% increase.
Show of hands, who actually believes that their production costs went up by 33%? Had it not been for all of the mis-steps over the past year I *might* have been inclined to take their word for it. But the Club has been patently and repeatedly dishonest with its members lately and they have burned all goodwill that they might have ever had.....so forgive me if I have suspicions about their true motives behind a price increase......

Even if it's an increase to cover some of their costs..
So what? I didn't renew my membership because I don't like the way the Club does business but even I have no problem with them raising prices to cover some of their costs. They're a business, where else is that money going to come from?

Oh well. I'll probably still get them all. It's $100 now at the con versus double or triple that on eBay later.

Python 2 pack Python Moccasin Python Stinger and Driver Jungle Panther tank Which averages out to 75$ per item. If we see a similar assortment this year at 100$ more it's 100$ average per exclusive. Not to sounds like the previously mentioned butt hurt people, but year I would feel a little ripped paying 100$ for a 2 pack of ME Figures....

$400 is pretty steep. But maybe they will have some T-34s or something to make it worthwhile.

All it would take is one fairly large vehicle to make up for a large portion of the $100 increase, considering last year we got a two pack, two medium sized vehicles, and three individual figures.

I wonder if the club wants me to bring more money... or less money to their store. This is toughy! Any economic majors out there want to help me out?
