Exclusive Sets and eBay
Besides the box set, Fun Publications also produces a special figure that is only given to attendees, a freebie just for showing up. This year’s extra figure was a Classics Mirage, molded in clear blue plastic to simulate his “invisibility” power. Mirage also comes with instructions and a “tech spec” sheet. You get this one at registration time along with the box set.
Fun Publications also makes two other exclusive sets available to attendees, but these cost extra. This year we got both sets: one Alpha Trion and Weirdwolf set and one Springer and Huffer set. All four figures are repaints of Cybertron figures, and they did a very nice job on them (better than last year, I think). The lines to buy these two sets were long and slow, but it’s well worth it to pick these up.
I always keep my exclusive toys, but Chrissy sells hers on eBay. Last year, we saw the sets go for huge amounts of money, but that dwindled to smaller numbers as time went on. Last year, Chrissy waited a week or two before putting her sets on eBay, so we only got about double what they were worth. This year, we decided to bring the laptop along and put the sets on eBay as soon as they were in hand. They sold almost immediately, and Chrissy ended up with $1300 in her pocket.
