I don't collect the new style figures by choice, so most of this stuff doesn't effect me. The only item of interest to me is the night landing set. Gotta love the weapons locker and gear they're including.

With that being said, if I was a collector of the new style stuff, I would be absolutely livid right now. The con exclusives are being resold at absolutely outrageous and unprecedented prices. The club also just loves to tease people with their subscription figures that at this point will probably end up cancelled (I know they won't be, but it's getting ridiculous at this point). Hasbro however is just as bad. As nice as it is to see concept stuff, almost everything in that case would sell (except for the zombies and ninjas). That was like a slap in the face. "Here's all this stuff we know you guys want or would like, but sorry we have to instead try to sell you this junk that's promoting a sequel no-one asked for to a movie that sucked. It seems to me like for the past 4-5 years (maybe longer than that) the people in charge of the joe department have no idea about the potential the brand has.
