just got this email:

2011 GI JoeCon Leftovers- We hold back some items in case there is damage to existing orders or factory mistakes. We have a VERY limited number of the loose figures available. In order to get these items, you must have first purchased the boxed set. If you did that already and have not ordered an additional loose set, now is your chance. If you have already received a loose set per each boxed set you own, you will not be eligible to get these items.

If you are interested, email admin@funpubinc.com and they will contact you about processing your order.

GI Joe Newsletter August 2011 (1 pc)$10+shipping





It doesnt say if SDCC Zaranas are available... but the picture is there.. so it doesnt hurt to ask.

I saw the picture & thought I'd be able to get some at a decent price. It's just the cover of the stupid magazine. They shouldn't have included it in a sales email.

Agreed. Another bonehead move by the Club, and further evidence that they don't have their finger on the pulse of their own fanbase. I'm sure their call center is going to be flooded with calls from misguided (then angry) members. I predict a clarification e-mail from Brian before the end of the day.

KoP, I strongly recommend you change the title of this thread. The false sense of hope it provides is not helping.

That's exactly what happened to me. Sly trick on their part.

KOP,

When I first got this email, I thought the same thing as Viper until I saw the price listing which didn't specify the Z's.

They definitely needed to word that announcement better since it could give some folks (who didn't score the figures elsewhere) false hope.

This looks like incompetent douchery, as is usual of the Club.

In fairness, it does indicate that the two items they're offering are the bagged set of figures, and the current issue of the monthly magazine, which are the two items pictures.

Personally, I was sort of hoping they might have had some of the "outside the box" items like the Python Stinger, but -- oh well, maybe someday through some means.

Well, if anyone has the box set and doesn't have the baaged set and isn't planning on getting one, I would cover that price + shipping to get this Python Brazil Mission set. Just throwing that out there, if anyone can help a collector out.

I hear you there GITrekker. I would really like to get that Stinger, but not at the price they are going for.
