Well, you start by joining the club which costs $42 and you get a figure for "free" once a year. This year it was Iceberg and he was pretty bad, last year it was Footloose and he was fantastic, so it's hit or miss.
Then you can sign up for the FSS and you are guaranteed all 13 figures. They end up costing about $25-$30 each and you get two per month, plus three in the last month. The first FSS wrapped up a few months ago and it was, for the most part, really good. It ranged from boring repaints like Quarrel to amazing figures like Big Boa. I felt like I got my money's worth. FSS 2.0 went up for sale a few months ago, and is no longer for sale. If you are a member of the club you have a chance to get the figures in the club store a month or two after they were sent to the people that signed up. Some of the FSS 1.0 figures are still available, while the most popular like Big Boa sold out really fast. The 13th figure will not be offered in the club's store though. You have to sign up for that one. In the FSS 1.0 it was Blackout, and he was a pretty good figure.

The Pre-order window has closed for FSS 2.0. You can only get them off 3rd party sites like BBTS, at almost double the cost. Also, the Club puts them in their store after preordered shipments go out, but don't count the more in-demand figures being available.
I did FSS 1.0, paid about $25 a figure including shipping. Paid in 3 installments, so got the "free" 13th figure Blackout as well.

So, you pay the 42? Then when do you pay for the figures? As they go? All at once? Do they email you or what? Im liking this so far though.

You are too late for the FSS 2.0 though. The sign-up period was back in April.

Join when they announce FSS3.
Or join now, get the membership figure and have the ability to buy some FSS1 now and FSS2 when they become available.

If you sign up any time between now and next March or so you will get next year's club figure, and for the most part I think they are worth the $42 of signing up. If you don't like it, you can always eBay the figure and get your $42 back, or even more in the case of Footloose and Dial-tone. So really, if you think you might want any of the Club figures at all, then I think it's worth signing up whenever. I sign up every year, and I have no regrets.

What they said ^^^^^ I haven't really regretted joining the club or the FSS it seems kind of expensive up front, but the cost of getting the figs on the secondary is even more. There are some gems and some not so. I personally liked most of them. Plus you get to buy the Con sets too if you're a member and can't go.

I'd get your membership in the next 1-2 months. FSS 2.0 should ship beginning September, which means any left over figures will be available in the store for members to buy only. You would also be covered for the upcoming Joe Con (meaning you can sign up for the exclusive set at membership price, then choose to attend or have it mailed to you) and the 2014 membership figure.
