No doubt. Besides the Club's own fuckups and the film being pushed back almost a year...
You know, the least they could do is make some available at their stupid site. In previous years, they let people order multiple loose ("free" bagged version of the membership) figures with each order. For example, last year they did this. Monkeywrench got his membership figure, then was able to purchase 2-3 extra Dial-Tones after he got signed up for his membership. That's how he wound up with the fluke carded DTs that he got.
I didn't do it in advance last year as I wasn't very stoked with the quality of the figure. But I would've done it this year, except it wasn't even an option because their site was all fucked up after losing everyone's credit card and personal contact info. Thanks, Club.
I had to buy TWO goddamned memberships just to guarantee that I got one in the mail (I wanted to be safe after last year's barely showed up in the crushed box, with flaps hanging open and the figure hanging half out). Granted, I'm selling the extra one to Eddie, but still.
They're pulling similar bullshit with the Homefront Heroes packages this year, by not allowing non-attendees able to buy the HFH package until days after the attendees. Which makes a little more sense, but it just sucks that they're changing it up the ONE YEAR I finally decided to pony up for the non-attendee set.
I lucked out with a carded DT last year due to MW's luck and him being an awesome dude. I doubt I'll be as lucky this year. You know those asshats at JoeCon will snatch them all up and sell them for $200-400 or more.
