If you're a club member, the other figure will be somewhere between 40-55 dollars. If you're not a member, it'll be $40 more. With membership only costing $40, theres no reason not to join. Pretty good marketing technique on this pair.
Best move, in my opinion, is wait for the two to go up for sale, then join the club for membership dues. It'll be before Botcon, so if you end up liking the Botcon set, you'll get the discount on that as well.

I've read how the figures for purchase in the Club Store run out quickly. Are you guaranteed a free figure if you sign up?

yeah, you're guaranteed the free one. as you know, you've gotta be on your toes for the exclusives though.

Im sure you can find someone to send you scans over a personal message, if you're nice, heheh. Honestly, wait until either a waek before the cutoff date, or at the same time that SG Drift and Runabout go up for sale, then sign up and buy the extra figs. Itll be before Botcon, and if you don't like this years Botcon assortment, you aren't out anything because you still got your hands on something you DID want with club discount. Plus, with waiting until the last minute to sign up, if Botcon '13 comes up early, you can still be eligible for that discount too.
Joetx wrote:@ bionic_radical - Thanks for the advice.
I plan on registering in early January so I can get in on the next comic arc.
I assume Fun Pub waits until the cutoff date (March 16) before ordering their exclusives?
Do you know how many they order (e.g., 3X # of members)?

I'll take your word for it, but I am still confused why waiting to join the TFClub in March 2012 instead of next month gives an advantage when purchasing the figures. Can you explain more?
