I'm a little surprised the club went with brown stands. I figured they would have stuck with green or went with blue.

Disappointed like most here that they didn't at least keep the modern era Marauders deco consistent. Freaking Club...
Oh well, hopefully people with better decision-making faculties will run whatever future iteration of the Club comes about in due time. |

Basically yes. If they sell it at cost then they're basically getting into the convention free and have the opportunity to buy the at con add on figures/accessories, plus get the free attendee figure/vehicle. The bagged sets are available only as an add on if you buy the boxed set and in much fewer numbers.
The bagged sets used to be produced in 300 vs. 500 for the boxed. Now they're up to 400 but we don't know the boxed set number anymore. So it's not that much fewer. |

I think some people are selling the boxed set for cost because they added on the loose set which is cheaper. Plus they're keeping the free attendee vehicle. Smart way to go if you're a loose collector only.

In my opinion if they were not the only game in town they would probably take stuff home with them and have to clearance it in their online store. That may not be 100% accurate but they sure are selling a lot of sets considering the past two years’ sets have been lackluster from a general fan perspective & comments. Like last year throwing all those BATs in a Con Set.

Hopefully I can secure one this year. That makes it so much easier when you don’t have any desire to keep the whole set too.

I'm guessing they went with the old deco instead of the BBTS deco so when they have a BBQ/Low Light two pack, they can put different deco on them and people won't feel slighted.
Except Hardball. He'll use the modern deco, he'll appear in the FSS 6.0 mystery in old school deco, and then again in FSS 8 in vintage deco.

I didn't like the BBTS deco and am glad the Club went with the original.

The bagged set was listed as 300, and of course you can only buy that if you also buy the boxed set. In my case, I just bought the boxed, I want to attend the event with my son and a friend and I have no interest in the set. I'm not trying to turn a profit, I'm not trying to get the cheaper bagged set, I probably won't even want the extra items and probably would be glad to pick them up at cost for whoever wanted the boxed set.
But yeah, for someone like me, who isn't interested in the set, 415 is way too much for a ticket in the door. Especially when I'm already paying for lodging and driving 10 hours or something. And of course the way it all works means hours of waiting in lines. So I don't think I'm doing anything villainous by offering to sell it at cost
