I'll bet the 12" collectors would scream bloody murder!
The second thing that sucks is....a "Remake" of a prevous con set? I fear next year is gonna be a remake of the 2003 con set...and so on! Now, not only does every ARAH collector have to "rebuy" their whole collection, they have to "Rebuy" the con sets too?

I agree with Ender098 that this is a mistake for the Club. I would like to add, though, that the 12" Collector has been trampled on for years now. For the last several shows, the 12" set has been only Adventure Team. Now this is okay for a few sets, but it has been the same year in and year out. For me personally, and many other 12" collectors, the Adventure Team is pretty disinteresting. Where are the classic military 12" figures? Other companies produce relatively massive amounts of these figures and people pay a lot of money for them. It seems Hasbro and the Club have lost their edge. I collect both the 1/6th and classic 1/18th scales pretty extensivley, but I have been quite disappointed with the club's offerings for several years.
