jamarmiller wrote:and how do we get it? this is the part that sucks in all the heavenly wisdom of the f*cking dumb ass club these can be only bought at the convention. .....................they thought the CST would be better suited for the set and that was the only one you could buy online before the con

f*cking bastards

EVERYONE wants these , and its going to be majorily difficult to get them. start looking on ebay sadly or start begging someone that is going
Now correct me if I'm wrong, but most of the collectors who will want this figure will be from the UK? So, why have a North American exclusive of a UK character and only make it avaliable in North America? Somebody failed business 101, I think.

their idiots for sure, real dumb asses BUT I will say that there is a ton of NORTH AMERICAN collectors who will kill to get a hold of these Argen 7 guys and Action Force Figures

where they are going to really shoot themselves in the foot is the limited amount they have made of these.

the club is struggling every year with the joe franchise, its not like the transformers at all where its proffitable for them and this doesnt help thier case. had they made MORE Of these and easier to puchase they could have made a killing off of them

spiderpumpkin wrote:The silver Gyrocopter was free with the purchase of boxed set but only for those that attended the con. So there are 500 boxed sets and of those only the ones people are picking up at the con get the gyrocopter. So technically there could be a lot less than 500 of these silver gyrocopters because some people will get them through the mail.

The dark gray gyrocopter comes with Blades and will be available on Thursday night.

Now I only wish all the exclusive international figures were ARAH sculpt. However, it's cool that the Pilot Glenda can be used with this set.

More pictures going up.
Can't win em all ;) Thanks for the posts, spiderpumpkin. Exciting to say the least.

Still early for the Pom's, Jamar ;)

Not to pee on anyone's parade, but Blades is American. I never noticed either, he has no Datafile. Best remedy that...
