The GI Joe Club just announced their sub details...$25 a figure!!
...and people at HISS Tank are jumping on it like its the last piece of Joe crack in the world.
WOW!!! Really, there are no words considering what we all went through with Mattel and MOTUC for 2013. After this, I think I'm going to send a hand written apology to Toyguru.
Honestly, it's about what everyone has expected since it was first announced like 11 years ago. It's like $22 a fig if you count the 13th one for the sub. I truly can't stand Brian Savage and the GIJCC in general, but it's not as bad as it could have been. I'll probably end up ordering one sub.
11 years ago? Man, they're making Mattel look positively proficient.
It's just going to get worse folks.

Not for me. I'm not getting a Joe Sub and I didn't get any Matty Subs. I'll just pay the eBay price for the MOTUC figures that I really want and still come out a LOT cheaper.
I'd like to have those Joes, but I'll only get them if some Chinese seller finds some extras.
I only want Cover Girl & I'm not sure I will even be able to pull the trigger on her.
The cheapest shipping option on the entire thing is $50.00. This puts the per-figure cost around $28.00. (I refuse to add in the 13th figure as it is advertised as a "bonus.")
I've got to think long and hard about this... even my Joe fandom has to face economic reality now and then.
