Is anyone else missing the Collectors Club? JoeCon's, the FSS, the monthly newsletter, the JoeCon exclusives. Man, we had it pretty good for awhile. Yeah, the had some questionable builds (Barricade) but I really enjoyed a lot of their figures. I only made it to one JoeCon but it was a great time. I always wanted to go back to another but deployments and TDY's and life always ended up getting in the way. JoeFest was cool this year but it wasn't the same and didn't have the awesome Con sets. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else was missing it.

Somedays I miss the club and their FSS/Con sets, but mostly I miss hanging out with Joebro friends at the con and being able to talk toys without a care in the world of judgement by normies, but mostly my wallet is still catching it's breath and between Marauder Task Force figures, the increasing Eagle Force Returns figures, and a bit of other lines I still am getting lots of things to buy.
I've done two JoeFests and enjoyed them, but it wasn't the same. Mostly went to see the Marauder Mayhem event, but the costs just aren't really justifying the trip for me I think moving forward. The $700 or so to go, can go purely toward toys instead even if they cost a bit extra than what it was at the fest itself (Speaking of MTF exclusives). Sparingly, very sparingly, have I dabbled with the 6" Joe Classified, Valaverse 6" Action Force, and GI Joe Retro (mostly bought a few more Hiss Tanks and 1 Hiss Tank III). |

Wasn’t really anything to miss.

Wasn't worth the hassle of joining. I have a few of the figures that I got off bbts. Not that big of deal that they no longer exist.

I disagree. I thought it was great and never really had any hassle.

A lot of the parts of the figures released you could do a custom of said figure for half that price. I'm sure for someone else that wanted the characters and maybe was a completist it was different. The only ones I wanted like Slice, Dice, Nunchuk, etc. I got and a lot of the time for less than the club was charging.

Candidly, I think it had run it's course. It gave us tons of modern remakes and sets we never would have otherwise gotten. But, I think it was about done. I don't care about Headman or DEF, it was after I hit puberty.

Only thing I'm missing is the Doc figure that I never got.
