The organisers of the official GI Joe Collectors' Club have posted an update to clarify a few points about the club, membership levels and just what we can expect to see over the next year.
- Officer Level Members (paid) get a monthly magazine and a free figure each year they are an active member. Members also receive special pricing in the online store and free use of the MCAX auction site. There is also a Members Only message board.
- The Club will soon be offering an add-on service to Officer Level Members which will be a Figure Subscription Service. This will be an additional charge to your paid Club Officer Level Membership.
- The Figure Subscription will be 2 carded figures shipped every month for 6 months for a total of 12. Subscribers will receive a 13th figure FREE at the end if the subscription period.
- Figure Subscriptions will only be available to Officer Level (paid) members for a limited time. After the cutoff date, no more subscriptions will be sold for that period of figure mailings.
- The Figure Subscription and Club Membership are TWO different things and you MUST be an active Officer Level member in order to be eligible for the Figure Subscription.
- The 12 figures will be known when the Figure Subscription window opens, but the 13th figure will be a secret. (We hope.) Don't tell when you get yours! :-)

I almost wish they would stick to one figure a month to help spread out the price. I also wish you could log into the club store the day the figures are released and just buy what you want w/o having a subscription...assuming you were a club member of course.
ReplyDeleteI can usually afford some new toys each month, but I hate committing long term. After all, I don't have one of those money trees in the backyard.
Yeah. At least they're letting us know in advance what's coming and hopefully the figure pricing will be reasonable...
