Here is another tip for getting your collectibles for cheap or to flip. Hasbro has decided to make 2 G.I. Joe/Trasnformers sets for their club members. The two sets are Marissa Faireborn and Afterbreaker (does not transform, boo) and Old Snake with a duo of BAT Drones. Retailers are already pre-selling these for around $65 for the first set and $115 for the latter.
Here is the kicker, if you want these for your collection and don’t want to pay markup or simply to try and flip for a few bucks go to toyarama.com and join either the G.I. Joe or Transformers club, it’s that simple. It will cost you $44 but you get a free figure and more chances at exclusives like these that other non-club members don’t have. You are going to sell the free figure on eBay to help recover your membership cost, or you can keep it. I went ahead and totaled it up and you are looking at $165 total then $10 to ship if you’re cheap like me.
There are already popping up on eBay. Marissa and Afterbreaker is already at $75 and Old Snake is $125.
This one is pretty simple. You might want to jump on this while supplies last. Once this trick gets out they won’t he around long.
