gotta love those 25th hand sculpts! You can gift wrap a turd and present it very nicely...charge more...but in the end....still a turd.
Does the desire to fill holes in one's collection override a person's senses? $375 + $96 total shipping divided by 13 = $36 per figure. So by my monkey math, that is $10 for the figure and $26 for nostalgia, err I mean, exclusiveness. That sound right? |

It always depends on how much I want out of a subscription before I subscribe, I figure if I want half or more than half then I subscribe, so for fss 6.0 I wanted none of them... easy choice right? and for fss 7.0 I want 8 of them and more than likely the 13th so that's kind of an easy choice as well. It was the same with the MOTUC subscription from Mattel.

I'm actually happier with the Club's figures than Hasbro's recent offerings.
The Club still does the classic ARAH styled card art and they try to make figures or characters we don't have. The last few Hasbro waves have been the same characters for the most part, but in Wolf Squadron colors. As far as selling off want I don't want at a higher price, that's just not what I do. Ask most, I sell cost plus shipping. (or trade) But let's say I do sell a figure for double what I was charged... if I was a fringe collector that only wanted FSS Darklon, paying $75 instead of the full $375 is a good thing. I chose to buy a Con Backstop for $150 because going and getting my own (airfare, hotel, food, tax, etc) would have been closer to $3500 dollars! And all I really wanted was Backstop. So $150 was done and done for me. If someone wants to skip FSS, but wants Kangor, for example, he'll pay a little more for it... but it's the same as Costco pickles... if you only want a few, go to the grocery store and pay $3 bucks... if you want a deal, then buy the giant jar for $15 and let 2/3rds get moldy before you eat them. It's all pickles man. Xero, you are not only a gentleman but also a scholar lol.

Can't remember which snake eyes he came with, but there's a timber with a brown color rusty I've designated as sandstorm

Dusty looks much better with the camo. I still wish they would lighten the tan a little bit to be closer to the vintage figure, but it's not a big deal. This is my favorite version of Dusty so I might pick him up now.
Good to know. I'll look into that. |
