The NECA Club x Aliens Makes Returns in 2018
Ha!
So after paying the higher figure cost, the insanely high shipping cost and buying all the re-colored Aliens I can get to buy ANOTHER re-colored alien??? Where do I sign up!
NECA's Alien Club was universally hated as far as I could tell. I'm honestly shocked it's making it to a second year.
This...just makes me feel sick inside... who would buy into something that is nothing more than a gimmick... and the exclusive was worthless imo. I am glad I didn't get pulled in the first time...
Has the Purple Alien exclusive already been released? I would think that this would a prerequisite before starting up a new club cycle...
Also of note is that NECA announced that there would be no free items this year with the club membership, unlike last year, so they're actually downgrading an already poorly-received service.
So, no freebies, we're into the third month of 2018 and the 2017 exclusive figure isn't released yet, plus members pay hefty shipping fees and sometimes get stuff after retail does? And never mind the fact that NECA's quality control is such that buying their figures sight unseen all but assures you derpy eyes or other issues...yeah, glad I passed on this mess.
Someone should find all the threads like this talking about how terrible an idea this is (Toyark, Fwoosh, etc...) and send it to NECA via Facebpok and Twitter (I would but NECA never responds to me)
As an Australia completionist i hope this doesn't happen as we're locked out point blank. Bad enough that i will have to buy the purple warrior for a stupid amount of money on eBay.
Well I didn't see this coming. I really hope that this is the last year for something like this and that others don't get roped into it. I just don't understand why collectors are willing to pay exorbitant amounts in shipping to be a part of a club and all for a Kenner repaint that you still have to pay for...
Again, I actually like the look of the exclusive figure a lot, but the club isn't worth it. People will buy just about any Alien figure NECA puts out anyway so their is really no reason why this figure couldn't be a TRU or SDCC exclusive. There is really no logical way to justify the club especially when the benefits are so poor.
they need to state all the stuff first rather than later on when people get angry when it's something they dont want.
Well, with the Toys R Us situation, I just joined the club again. I wouldn't be surprised to see NECA doing different clubs now. Maybe, just maybe, with TRU going down, they can lower their shipping costs somewhat. The reason they had them so high was to not undercut the retailers, ie TRU.
On another note, the purple alien is available for preorder. Sucks it's not coming until the end of the year, though.

I emailed customer service who replied: In order to enroll in the 2018 Alien Club you need to purchase Series 13 now. Doing so begins your enrollment into the club. In order to stay in the club you need to purchase all the releases we offer throughout 2018 ((isnt that what im doing now by paying $71+shpping?)) to qualify for the 2018 year end exclusive
very confusing
When you preordered Series 13 you were automatically enrolled in the club. You won't have to pay for 13 again, but in order to qualify for the year end exclusive, you have to order all the requisite items from them throughout the year. Last year, if I recall, it was 2 waves of Aliens figures, the Covenant series, and the Aliens Day exclusive Vasquez.
