Just a quick FYI on production - no matter what the pre-order numbers were, they still had to make a certain amount to reach the MOQ (minimum order quantity) at the factory. For example, you can't just walk into your factory ask them to make 17pcs of something. You have to make thousands. That said, once you reach the MOQ you can add to that number in smaller increments.
So, the Club might have said that the number of these made was based on pre-orders, but in reality, they were required to make a certain number regardless of the number of pre-order. .... |

If Big Boa and Cover Girl show up in large quantities, we've been had.

The "one per member" rule is only "for now" and might change after a while, or so I thought. |

Why? Because we signed up for the whole thing under the assumption that very few extras would be available after the fact. So far all 4 are available in decent quantities. Had we known that, I doubt as many people would have signed up.

I definitely saved money by subscribing since I want all of the figures, but I do feel like the urgency of subscribing has been lessened by e-tailers like BBTS and now the Club's own store.
The Club needs to be careful in how they handle Big Boa, Cover Girl and the 13th figure or potentially lose a lot of FSS 2 subscribers to the a la carte method.

Yea. We get a bonus figure. That doesn't mean it's a figure crucial to most people's collections. It won't be on the level of a Cover Girl type figure for me. If it's who was rumored on that leaked list, Blackout, then he's sold anyway. I'm going to end up with about half of the figures. If I had known, I probably wouldn't have subscribed and just purchased the ones I wanted from the store. I'm not making any money on the ones I'm selling since there are so many options out there and a lot of figures for sale (eBay, BBTS, and the Club's own store). I'm lucky that I'm even selling them for cost.

But without the subscription, the extras would not be possible.

That doesn't appear to be the case. They stated that if there were any extras, there wouldn't be many. The first 2 are still up for sale. Clearly, that's more than a few.
