The pop ups are nice, but not $100 nice. It's just cardstock after all.

I think the complaint isn't the fact that it's exclusive, it's the fact that for all the money you put into it, a repaint is all you get. I'm sure there are lots of people would love to own it (I'm one of those people), but between the price mark up per figure, the insane shipping charges and the fact that you still have to pay more for the repaint plus more shipping it doensn't make much financial sense to be in the club whether you're a hardcore fan/ completist or not.

When it's all said and done you're easily paying over a $100 in extra fees before you ever get the exclusive.
