Everything has always increased from them over the years. Fss sets, con sets...they're simply repeating the process. The only problem is this time it's a huge, unacceptable increase.

my grand total = $710.50. I bought all 12 plus Zartan plus Cobra bitches. It was a lot of money and the Club should be ashamed at these prices. That being said, I purchased these for 1 specific reason: This maybe IT for GI Joe as we know it, and these maybe our last collector-oriented figures.
With Depriest gone, the sheer shit-show at retail brick and mortar for toys in general, the further drifting of society to a PC, r-selected culture, I don't have much faith in Joe surviving. I hope the new Snake-Eyes movies kicks ass, and I'm proven wrong with Hasbro giving us some great figures and a great movie |

Put one two pack in your cart. Look at your total.
Then go over to MTF or Boss Fight’s sites and build up your cart until it reaches $100. Then compare those carts. It’s a no brainer folks! Walk away from Fun Pub and spend your money with reputable companies! .....easier said than done I know. But it’s not worth it!!

Smaller runs do generally cost more to make, that's a given. To what degree, who knows. Not siding with the club here as I'm sure it's all inflated regardless, just saying. I think this also sheds a little light on why they've been milking us for every 8.0 payment with-out a penny of return. These guys aren't used to funding anything upfront it seems and had to suck that cash flow from somewhere. Don't you feel happy to be an investor, only to get raped days later? =) |

AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Well I hope this pricing hurts every single Club apologist the most, since they're to blame the most for this outcome that hurts all of us. Quote:
I just asked on facebook why the prices are so much more than those of the fss , this is the reply that I got :G.I. Joe Collectors' Club There were heavy increases in manufacturing costs in China this time out which we cannot control. The model for this is different than the FSS which we could manufacture in the exact numbers ordered. Have to order a set quantity created more risk knowing that the members could pick in choose which figures they buy. We did the best we could in the constraints of the time left in the contract.
Don't buy the tariff excuse for a minute. They're greedy and willing to lie about it, plain and simple. But you should know this by their years-long, ongoing behavior on their own forum to silence even the slightest hint of dissent. That's the action that speaks louder than any words they might write or say about this. They have demonstrated a sociopathic behavior around their business all along. The pricing is just their final kick in your junk. |

I was planning on buying 6 Viper sets and Coils O Doom. As a result I would end up with 6 left over Dodger figures that I doubt anyone would want. Realistically this makes those Vipers $100 each with a worthless Dodger that will flood the market. I would have still bought a couple of Vipers if I could buy them for $50 without the filler, but like this, I just can't justify it. There is no way I would be able to offload all those Dodgers for $50 each and I’m not willing to pay $100 for a single Viper. The thing is I have the money for this. I could buy these without a second thought, but I just can not reward that kind of greed. I would feel like a sucker. If anyone does want a $50 Dodger and not a Viper, PM me and we can split a set. Otherwise, I’m just going to pass, they are just not exciting enough to justify those costs.

Holy crud. Remember back in the POC days, when figures were $7.99 each and people would bellyache about the high price - then wait for the $4.99 sales prices?
12 x $7.99 = $96 (for really awesome POC figures, mind you) now its $526 (for repaints) For the price of one figure nowadays, you could have bought seven just a few years ago. There is inflation - and there is extortion. And here we are.

How many times did I read "I'm going to wait for it to go on clearance or end up at Ross"
