Well the Boomer was $145, so if they add in a Tomahawk, the "extra" charge might be only $55 technically. And if you don't want the big vehicle, you can save that money. Sucks though that they're charging us for their decision to air freight items in, which isn't our fault. You could say it's theirs because they should've had the items done quicker, since this dock strike has been an issue for quite some time.
It will be nice not to have to stand in line again on Friday for the parachute drop. They ought to sell us the para figures on Thursday anyway. It doesn't take away from the drop being for the kids the next day. I get $430 for the cost of souvenirs last year actually. Parachute Drop Night Force Crazylegs - $30 - LE500 Carded Joseph Colton - $30 - LE1250 Rescue Ops Clutch & Ice Storm 2-Pack - $58 - LE800 Steel Brigade Zombie 3-Pack - $69 - LE1000 VTOL w/ Steel Brigade Pilot - $65 - LE800 Rescue Ops 4x4 - $69 - LE700 Septic HISS Tank Mk II - $72 - LE800 Kre-o Zombie Initiative 7-Pack - $37 - LE600 The year before was $350 but for 6 items instead of 8. There was no 3-pack and the 2 vehicles were combined into 1 big one. I was asked to provide $480 in advance for con exclusives and that's just for 3 3/4" figures (no Kreo). Does that sound right for one of everything?

Although because he said $600 for the 3.75" souvenirs, he may not have been including Kre-O. So we may have add in another $40 for that. Or maybe there is no Kre-O? If you're skipping the vehicles that don't come with figures, then it sounds like too much. If you're including those, then it sounds like too little given Brian's $600 stated cost.

That sounds like way too much. Unless they're offering a TF Flagg.

Not really. Add on $70 to make one a large vehicle. Take away Kre-O but add on an unknown amount for the 9th item, so you might be up to $530 if it's a 2-pack. Tax could be anywhere from 6.25% to 9.5% depending on that location. So you're around $575 there, and an increase in prices as Brian alluded to could take you over $600.

I asked the club in the Q&A if the $600 is with or with out tax. My guess is this does not include tax. So $600 + tax is what I am expecting.

Then the reveal of the exclusive toys further divides the fandom. If the revealed toy is well received some fans get angry that the exclusives will be hard to get, while others get angry that non-attendees can get exclusives, etc. If the revealed toy is not well received, then attendees blast the club for making bad toys, while others decry the perceived fact that a bad toy is a sign that the entire fandom will now die out. Others still simply go with the "glad I'm not going and don't have to buy this" position. Then on the social level, you get "old time" con goers telling everyone how great things used to be and how things are much worse now. I love the cons, particularly the people and the toys, but there is always a lot of drama.

Was registration for non-attendees so short last year?
