join the club man, it comes out to about the same and you get a free club membership figure in the process

[The Baron]

So... £25.60 a figure.

[Sundance]

f*ck that!

christ, i spent less on my NAJ Stinger last night!

[The Baron]

Dude, remember that little talk we had about us working to generate interest and momentum? Comments like that do a lot of damage.

[SteveD]

So... £25.60 a figure.

About half that - roughly £12.75 per figure.

Membership is $88
Boxed set = $295
Bagged set = $175
Postage = $45
TOTAL = $603 (for two sets - i.e 30 figures)

Roughly $20 a figure, or £12.75.

Still expensive, but remember the Club Membership includes a free figure too, and a magazine (which in fairness I tend to read in ten minutes cover to cover!).

[Sundance]

yeah, it's great they're coming back. yeah, i'd REALLY love to have a set.

but Primus, that's more than a MONTH'S PAY! we're not all high-earning legal-eagles like Dawson or big-earning food magnates like Eddie!

i'm on minimum wage here! i've been jammy building my collection by getting good deals on stuff and buying next to nothing else each month other than paying the bills.

three hundred fifty quid for fifteen figures is just way the hell out of my means.

[The Baron]

Doh, I was forgetting the second set! Thanks, MrD.

[SteveD]

we're not all high-earning legal-eagles like Dawson or big-earning food magnates like Eddie!

I wish I was that high earning mate! You'd be surprised!

I totally agree, the figures packs are very expensive, and to be honest I'll be flogging off some bits from my other collections to fund mine. But after wanting an O Ring Red Shadow since 1985 I figure it's worth it! Unless the figures suck, in which case I'll cry and fashion one of them into a small voodoo doll of Jamar....

As an aside - I love the idea of Eddie being a food magnate! I know the spellings wrong but I have visions of him walking through asda and items flying off the shelves and sticking to him!
