What the... I never read the descriptions before; didn't realize all they were doing was completely reusing old molds. I thought there was at least some creativity involved besides new paint jobs.
They are cool figures, and the repaints are improvements, but it seems like little more than profiteering to me.

And I thought they were just doing charity .
They are very nice figures, all the MOTH sets. I would love buy one of them, but they are very, VERY expensive to have.

They are expensive TG, but they are the only new stuff around at the moment. I bought the first three sets, and I'll definitely buy this one which looks to be the coolest yet.

Outrider -- how much were they for you to get them? From what I've seen, and the more in-depth research Nem did, I was of the understanding that for shipping outside the US MCC charged a ridiculously high amount? And/or international membership was like triple the US cost?
I'd considered joining the club because I'd like to order some of their exclusives (Nullifier, upcoming Copperhead, the MOTH sets) but I don't know that I could afford it whether I thought the figures were worth it or not!

It's $36.00 yearly to join.
If you buy the figures, it's $61.00 for non-members. Which is basically the $25.00 members pay and the $36.00 join fee.
But if you're planning to buy all 4 sets, you pay $61.00 for the first set and then you're in the club so each additional set will cost you only the regular $25.00, as long as you get them before the year is up!
Or you just ask me to get them for you! LOL!

...and that bold part right there is the difference between selling repaints (Hasbro) and price gouging (MC).
I'm all for making a profit, but paying five times what a figure was worth the first time around for something that isn't even vintage... no thanks. Especially considering the ridiculous (and required) membership fees. If that's your thing, of course, have fun.
