Yes they are selling the figure still in the stores but going to the con with my 19 month old son i was really looking forward to the actual parachute drop this year. Last year I went he was 7 months and he did not walk and this year would have been the 1st time he could be apart of it. I am happy we are getting the figures but the Parachute drop is a fun experience. Also with no Bingo night or Casino night not to much family friendly stuff to do. My wife goes and always looks forward to Bingo night but that is also not going to happen this year. Still doing the Springfield tour so that will be nice but not having parachute drop, bingo, and casino night is disappointing to me.

There seems to be a very common misconception among the fanbase that the Club is directly responsible for your level of stress. This is ridiculous... YOU are in control of your stress. The Club can't be held responsible for an individual's susceptibility to freak out at every small announcement. Individuals are in control of their own emotions... it's their choice to react so strongly to these things.
The Club announced there would be roughly $600 in 4" exclusives. So waht? We still don't know exactly what they are. We do know there will be more than last year. How can all of you judge that the increase is ridiculous without even knowing the content of what you're buying? For those who say this is way to much... how about not buying one or two of the items? I don't go crazy when I walk into the grocery store and they are carrying an extra brand of candy bars. I implicitly understand that the store is not demanding that I increase my spending and purchase it. I walk by and continue on. As for the parachute drop, this one comes up every year. It's a shame, but if they can't get permission to drop them what are they to do? If there really is another shortage of the figures I would agree that's certainly something to complain about... but even that doesn't seem too clear to me... unfortunately their wording on the FAQ page is somewhat unclear. Anyway... I definitely feel people are overreacting (as usual). Oh well. Personally, I'm very excited to see what Hasbro will show and what the exclusives will be. I'll let you guys fester in the drama.

The quote was "we are checking some alternate ports right now, to try not to bring the stuff through the west coast...there are a lot of struggles ya'll don’t even know, that we go through to get this stuff here, often times it can be very tough or very expensive, and we (everyone implied, not the club) just have to bear the cost and have to bite our lip and that's the way it is." All costs of the entire show are spread over every item. It is possible you could have interpreted the statement a different way and we understand that.
We wanted to give you a heads up on the souvenirs because, as stated before, the major reason the total amount is higher is that there are 2 items you didn’t have last year and one of them is quite large and accounts for most of the additional funds needed. As stated earlier, costs are spread over all items in the convention. The approximate per item increase for the air freight was $1-$3 for the smaller items and $8 for the large item all based on the amount of space each product took up in the shipment. You will be very pleased with the items and we anticipate that they will all sell out. |

"one of them is quite large"

So wait, there are TWO additional items? I thought it was one. That makes more sense! I wonder if the "much larger" item is the ROCC. Either IG or Tiger Force

I am going with my wife and my son the parachute drop is for family's with children and a good time all together he might not remember but me and my wife would remember. Also gives my wife something to do seeing her son watch the parachutes fly down and him getting one and taking pictures. I know some people don't give a crap and only care about exclusives but to others who are paying money getting there you want your family to have a good time especially my wife so I can go again . Anyways just saying if he was 19 months old or 5 years old I'm disappointed that there is not a para drop this year as well as casino night & bingo.
