I wish it was cheaper. I could really use someone to help me out with securing one of those.

1. When Brian says the 1500 sets are officially "sold out" on a megaphone at Botcon, I guess he is officially lying.
2. They still have that stupid "you must have already purchased a box set" rule which just encourages scalping. (WTF am I going to do with a 2nd set other than sell it ???) I would think a "collectors club" should encourage people who dont own the set to buy it, rather than hooking up scalpers at a discount price.

It says on the TFCC store page that these were the figures that were held back in case anyone needed to return a defective figure and needed a replacement. Hopefully they're still keeping a few in case any of these figures are defective.2. They still have that stupid "you must have already purchased a box set" rule which just encourages scalping.

I agree but it protects the exclusivity for those who actually bought Botcon tickets. If any Johnny-come-off-the-streets could buy one later it's not fair on those who go to a bunch of effort to get tickets and travel.
If it's west coast again I'll be there.Rated X wrote:Diem wrote:Rated X wrote:2 points to be made :

I see your point, but e-bay already destroyed any exclusivity ticket holders like ourselves ever had. Owning a Botcon set has basically become a "money talks" contest. I dont blame the actual scalpers. But I do blame TFCC for encouraging club members to become scalpers. Hope I see you at Botcon 2012. I promise a full fridge of beer again.
