It is tough (very tough for completionists) but i get a joy from buying most FP figures 2nd hand. The club gets none of my money this way. I have bought through FP members sometimes but i am often not comfortable with this and don't proceed to ask. I do cherrypick my figures and a few i missed now sit in UnobtainiumLand (along with HasTak releases) but a suprising number are still affordable. This year i placed a RK order during BotCon to catch up on other non-club missed figures.
