Ok, so we all know that in order to get a bagged Convention set that we have to buy the boxed set first, right? So what is the outcome if the following happens????
- The boxed set sells out because most people only want 1 set. Then there are x amount of bagged sets sitting in the warehouse at the Club. What does the Club do then? Are you then allowed to buy the bagged set without the boxed one? Or do you have to still buy a boxed set from a different year?

I'd assume they'd sell the left-over bagged sets on their site.

If there are extra bagged set, they usually put them up for sale in the club store. This year.. everything sold out including the bagged sets. So the only way to get one will be to find someone selling theirs.

I keep watching the 2009 set on their site, hoping the boxed set sells out so I could swoop in and get a bagged set, but that never happens.

If last year's "Lets Make a Deal" booth was any information, they just cut open the loose bagged sets for the IG sets and sold off the figures "Lets make a deal" style.
There is a problem with your assumption. Most people who buy a boxed set, also buy a bagged set. Either for resale, Army Building, or because they've arranged to split costs with a friend. The number of bagged sets is always less than the number of boxed sets. (numbers rounded) Boxed set is 15 figures for $300 that's $20 per figure. Boxed set plus bagged set is 30 figures for $500. that's $16.50 per figure Cheaper Con figures is always better. |

Nova is correct.
You could buy a bagged set two ways. First with your initial online registration. It was one per American Hero registration. I registered 3 right off the bat. I didn't order a loose set at first, but as con got closer, the PMs started to hit and that changed (keep reading). You could also buy a bagged set at the club store following registration. You must have bought a box set first. Since I had three paid Hero packages, I could get up to three loose sets. I was asked to buy 2 for 2 friends...so I got 2. Oddly, I have never been into the loose set bit. Here is the store order form for reference.

But on the club site it tells u that u must have purchased a box set first in order to be able to buy bagged sets. But as someone else did state the bagged sets from this year r sold out.

You could get a bagged set for every boxed set you bought through registration.. then when the club store opened, you could go back and buy another bagged set if you so choose. Most of the time they aren't monitored.. this year I knew of a few people who went and bought an extra bagged set several times having bought only one boxed set.
If people really want a set.. bagged or boxed.. They just need to contact someone who is going, be willing to fork over the cash for the set and that person can pick them up for them. So as long as there are two more people who want a boxed set.. that is possibly up to 4 bagged sets to be obtained.. 3 boxed and 3 bagged during registration and at least one bagged bought at the club store when they open on Fri. If there is still some Sat. then they may be able to pick up another one. Not usually the case. This year most of everything was Sold out by Sat. morning.
