Outrider It's been a great ride! Offline --> Posts: 14,302 --> Join Date: Jun 2005	2009 Co Set dumps o-rings. Just read on Generalsjoes that the con set this year will be a 25thA reproduction of the 2002 Crimson Strike Team. For all of us o-ring fans that's a real kick in the guts. The con sets were our only chance to pick up new figures, and now we've been denied that one chance. At least I'll be saving my money this year, and won't need to renew my Collector's Club mebership next year. __________________ "The future's uncertain and the end is always near." - The Doors "Roadhouse Blues".

I didn't even like the original set they're remaking that well. Sigh, maybe when 25th continues in 2010 they'll make another O-ring Joecon set since the line will be back on shelves. This year's Botcon set wasn't this disappointing at least...

And I bet this set is gonna be super expensive. They should at least throw a bone to the old guard. __________________ thinktankproduction.com

On the bright side, I can go back to customizing my Red Shadows, and not have to worry about paying out the whazoo for a Red Shadows con set. __________________ RIP Minouche, 1994-2009.

I think Funpub does the club and convention exclusives actually.

The twins comic pack sat on pegs around here for $10. Now in red they are worth over $20 each? There's the attendee bonuses and stuff, which may be RAH...but that would be silly since their scale wouldn't match the main set. The paradrop figure is a 12" (Crimson Guard) so that one is a write-off. I have my doubts as to whether they will go back to vintage style next year. Look at their store, they still have past exclusives in stock. But then again, if this set bombs...
