NEWS: GI Joe Collectors' Club Clarifications


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.

You can read the full update on their Facebook page but here's the meat of it:

  • 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! :-)

  1. 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.

    I 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.

  2. Yeah. At least they're letting us know in advance what's coming and hopefully the figure pricing will be reasonable...
