I guess this means the set that those of us bought the first time around, advertised as a limited edition collectible, really isn't now. It's pretty dishonest of the club of do this in my opinion, and it really makes believing anything they say rather impossible. I guess we'll now see how this impacts their sales of the 2013 con set...

I am glad for the 2nd chance at the figures but i think the club should have slightly altered the colors or something and i think that might appease some people.

If they do SOMETHING to separate the second run from the con sets, I'm OK with this. If not, they are destroying exactly what makes the con sets special - their exclusivity.
Con sets are just that - con sets. If you don't go, then you have two options,pay what someone else wants to sell theirs for, or do without. That's exactly what makes them special. If you make them a pre-order for everyone, or do second runs after the face that a exactly the same, then they're not con sets anymore. They're just club sets. Some may think that this is a selfish attitude, but I look at it this way - if I can't make it to con, the. I have to live without, or pay an inflated price too. And that's the way it should be.

hasbro always sells exclusives after SDCC as well and I dont see people complain (now that the system was better this year at least)
I guess i can see both sides of the issue actually.

I don't necessarily agree with Hasbro doing that with SDCC exclusives either, to be perfectly honest.
