I find those neat, and nostalgic (it was the Kenner toys that first introduced me to the Aliens films) but have no desire to own them. People feel exactly the opposite, and NECA seems to be trying to make us all happy...for the most part.

The Alien Club isn't something I ever really even considered. I have always been picky over what figures I buy. IMO the thing does seem kind of scammy. Did they even announce how many figures members would be on the hook for when the announced they whole thing?

A lot of stuff is in the FAQ such as that IIRC, but then inevitably a lot isn't!

There's simply a lot of people the club won't work for, for multiple reasons.

I believe the USA shipping cost is awful?

Few will want ALL the figures that guarantees the end of year exclusive.

Even as a UK buyer I get the American version of the Club, meaning I have to keep checking exchange rates, and waiting until the random time when an item isn't listed purely under USA. There's no notification to my knowledge of when that changes.

The Club doesn't cover a lot of what you'd want to buy whether it made up the end of year quota or not. The Prometheus Lost Wave and Covenant accessory packs for instance. It's a pain in the arse having to email them and then make my own arrangements with often terrible UK sellers.

I just wish there was a list or a tag to work off in that sense.
