That's cool of them to do this. Nice to know the Guard and the Grenadiers are that popular, too!

!! DANG IT !!

I wish they would have announced that they were going to announce this so I could have scalped the crap out of somebody!

If my Australia trips ends up costing less than I budgeted for...I might just order this.

Being "cool" has nothing to do with this. They saw an opportunity to make more money and took it. Is that a bad thing? Not at all. They just have a long way to go before they can ever earn the reputation of being fan-friendly.

Fun Pub doesn't even come close to 'cool' on the Fonzie-meter.

Given their average turn around time on stuff like this we should see these ship sometime in the summer of 2014.

Countdown to the inevitable screw up?

Now, why didn't they do this with the brazil set? Oh well. They should make 2000 of the set each year and charge 100 bucks each for them.

Something is seriously wrong when you can get a carded 80's footloose for cheaper than a carded club footloose from 2012. Or Dialtone...
