$305 is alot of money to seak by the wife   
But here is the bonus if you get the set early, plus you can get a baggie version of the set for $185 extra...

• The first 100 American Hero’s or Homefront Hero’s registrations
received by January 14, 2011 will receive a special Mission
Brazil II cloisonné lapel pin.
• 325 American Heroes or Homefront Heroes (provided that you
are an Officer level member of the Club) have the opportunity
to purchase a second set of 3 3/4” Mission Brazil II figures (no
box, certificate, etc) for $185. This is limited to one extra
set per American Hero’s or Homefront Hero’s package purchased.

Plus you get a free exclusive item.  In 2009 I think it was the commandos heroicos helicopter (fang).  And at the con they will have for sale some other exclusives like a 2 pack, 3 pack, and some vehicles.  Hadn't decided if I should go yet, even though I could drive there.  And I'm not sure what the deal is with the "parachute drop," one comment was that they hand those out to everyone now.

The deal with the parachute drop figure changes from year to year.  I've been to Cons. where they handed them out to attendies and I've been where they make you buy them.  This year remains to be seen.

Either way, there is no actual drop?

Nope no drop.

I'm not going but I would like this set anyway.

That's weird, I guess they used to actually drop them from some high point right?

Yes, they have dropped figures in the past (seen it a couple times)but in recent years they have had issues with zoning laws and other conflicts.  I also don't think Disney has ever allowed it on their property to begin with.

Check it out, the club has revealed the first two exclusives:  Leatherneck and Python Trooper!

How about this comparison?  The cancelled ROC Leatherneck, the original 86 version, and the con exclusive.

Snow Job legs, again.. eh boy!

All of a sudden that Leatherneck with the AWE looks like a needed figure to properly finish this set.

Absolutely.  That is, if the rest are in brazil colors.  Here's hoping.
