If you want the boxed set you can order the Iacon pack. TFCC send it directly to you. Alternatively, places like TFSource will buy extras but be prepared to pay more for them.
Ok.... so how would I go about ordering the Iacon pack?
By placing a fax to TFCC when the convention packages go live. Despite running the convention and club store since 2006 there is still not an online option for ordering.
Things to bear in mind,
You will only get the basic 6 figure package, the attendee bonus figure that people at the con get for no additional charge will not be included.
If you are not already a club member you will have to pay the higher rate for the package which includes a 1 year membership (6 magazines and the next club figure).
If you are outside the US then the shipping will be a major gouge.
Personally I've not bought a full set since 07, generally these days I just ebay pieces that would work on my Classics shelves as and when I find a half way decent price (or when I just cave and buy the damned things anyway).
