Ouch! $334 for a bagged set?

You know the MC club has a "homefront hero" set, right? Basically costs the same as the attending set AND you can buy the bagged set for a cheaper rate, right?

I always get both, add the cost together and divide by two. Work outs to $255 and $235 depending (box set costs $20.00 more)

The problem they are sold out for the Non-Attending.  They have 50 sets at the CON for people that did not register and 50 boxed and 50 bagged (So I read somewhere) went to BBTS.COM.

His best chance is BBTS as Ebay will be higher!

+1 for Procrastinating or should that be -1?

I waited too... I was hoping for a sale at the Club within the years end.

Ya, I seriously didnt think it would sell out like this (first time ever?).  Didnt know people liked Python Patrol this much.  I actually liked the Crimson Set more, and that is still available at the store, though highly priced as well.

I think a lot of people bought the set to resell part of it if not all of it. Watch eBay and you will get a lot of discount. Problem with eBay is people boosting shipping fees to cover eBay fees, extra time, etc.

The best thing I saw is people sharing order on forums. I saw some posts on JoeCustoms, Yojoe, etc. So one is buying a set and dispatching it between board members.

I use to buy extra con sets and split them but after last year I said I would never take point on that again. I still have 4 extra figures from the Red Shadow set, sitting around in baggies. Basically cost me around $72.00 in unmovable product (2 Red Shadows and 2 Red Shadow flame thrower dudes).
