I just saw machine man, jackyl, ultron and black queen up for sale. Still no exclusives though. Does anyone remember the day puck and wolverine exclusives went up for sale? i know it was a ways back. we have heard mention of tons of exclusives, so hopefully they will come through soon, but any updates RANDY BOWEN, would be nice to hear from you, or at leasts an idea of what/when it will come?
Much Thanks

What do you think the Faux Bronzes are? They're web exclusives........

but not club exclusives - any joe schmo can order the web exclusives, just not ge tthe discount. I just want to feel like the membership is worth having other than the discount. I order all my busts and statues direct from Bowen - so i know the savings, for me personally far outweigh the club price, which I am happy with. But i would just love the chance to really make good use of the membership and order something special for the bowen club members. You really wouldn't?

Bowendesigns.com has the excl. Puck as being sold Dec. '07. So that means its been more then 6 months. I understand Randy is EXTREMELY busy, but the BDCC club isn't free. We did pay to be in it. I'm sure there will be multiple exclusives when the do go up, and I'm sure we'll get a freebe hat or something, but 6 months is a LONG time w/o any exclusives.

As a member you also receive a discount through Bowen Designs, which I believe you enjoyed when you placed an order for the web exclusive faux bronzes. Just saying, non-members did not receive that discount.
I consider the BDCC Exclusives a treat, not an obligation or something you should expect to receive.
JOIN THE CLUB!
Membership to the Bowen Designs Collector’s Club gives you to a 20% discount on all orders for a full year. The discount is effective immediately, so that you can order other items at the same time you join the club and take advantage of the savings right away.
You will receive an introduction letter (via email) with your member number that should be included when placing all orders. (The discount does not apply to shipping charges.)

Thats not the point. In no way did I say it wasn't worth joining the club, but one of the huge benefits of joining, stated or not on the website, was the access to exclusives. There used to be new ones every 3 months. Now there hasn't been one in 6. Again, I completely understand Randy is really busy, but its time for a new exclusive(s).

No complaints here, but, as an observation, I'm surprised that we haven't seen the "red caped" Black Knight FS as a CC exclusive already, especially considering the "standard" version has been posted for sale for a month now - I thought that that one was an all-but given. No biggie . . . in reality, the BK won't ship until . . . what? November? . . . so plenty of time to get that one up for order and allow the CC members to buy both, or switch their orders.
Besides, a blue Quicksilver with DARK blue shorts as a CC exclusive will be worth the wait as well. ;) And, who knows, perhaps RB'll put a smile on Al's face and post a metallic blue Cap. I'm sure we'll ALL be given more than ample opportunity to get out respective money's worth in CC exclusives.

but I do agree with IronLantern. While the 20% discount is nice, the reason many members are in the club is for the exclusives. We all know that if all we wanted was access to purchasing statues and busts at 20% of retail, there are many places to get it if not at a higher discount. What is special is the exclusives and while they've been few and far between lately, I'd rather wait a little longer for a Thor Frog unique exclusive as opposed to a "red cape" Black Knight. More elaborate costume variations might make for really nice exclusives ( like possibly a Green Wonder Man costume, or a "Not blue and furry" Beast, or even Yellow costume and short hair Aurora) as opposed to just slapping some red paint on a cape or going stark white with Elektra (and not even bald). I feel real bad for the poor dead horse, but that's my opinion.

Blue, metallic finish Cap is a NO BRAINER! Other ones I'd like to see...
1. A repaint of either Cap as The Captain.

Listen whiners, (I know I'm not being nice, but I don't care) go to all the online retailers you want. I used to do so to save a buck. But just wait until you miss out on a piece because your awesome online retailer (who NEVER gets allocated, gets allocated) then you will learn that there's only one security blanket in this hobby....ordering directly from Bowen Designs. Obviously these whiners never got screwed elsewhere & it makes me sick to listen to them. Is $25 going to break you for the security of knowing that you will get at least one of what you ordered? C'mon!!!!!!!!!!!!

06-18-2008, 09:31 PM
One more thing...the whiners are obviously not paying attention! Here's what exclusives are...
1. A rejected statue that a limited audience liked.
2. A simple repaint that a limited audience wants.
3. A little adjustment and repaint to a pre-existing sculpt that a limited audience wants.
Randy is running a business. He has a payroll. He is only going to produve first run statues that lots of folks want. If you don't realize this by now, you aren't paying attention.

No reason whatsoever, and I have no idea how RB plans to release the piece.

With the retailer I use, I have never missed out on a piece. I have never been allocated. Ever. I pay slightly more then what he pays direct from Bowen, and I always get my orders. The be honest, I've been a club member for 3-4 years, and I've used the club discount twice, for 2 faux bronzes. I have, however, bought nearly every exclusive so far. The 25 dollars is not the issue, and I did not join the BDCC for a security blanket, I joined it for exclusives.
I have no idea why people are getting so defensive. I'm not attacking the club, or Randy in any way. I'm simply stating that exclusives have ALWAYS been a selling point of the club, and after 6 months without one, we're due.

I'm in the same boat as IronLantern, I've been a club member for many years now, and will be for as long as the club exists. There is no argument that the membership pays for itself with the first or second purchase. The opinion is that many members are in the club mainly for the exclusives and the discount is great, too. If Bowen Designs makes anywhere from $15,000-$20,000 a year just on membership fees(based on 600-800 members), I think the members voicing their opinion about the club is not a bad thing. I've read on a few forums how current members are considering not renewing their membership; if it were me, I wouldn't have a problem listening to what the members want in order to maintain that annual membership income. I don't think it's whining, just consumers voicing their opinions.
And, I do understand Randy is running a business....I guess I always thought part of running a business was getting as much feedback from the consumers that is my base for sales. Continuing my consumers spending their hard earned money in a difficult economy on my products I thought would be a good thing....but I guess you might disagree, Al.

I am not complaining about the club, the practices, or an such nature ..... in fact, it can be clearly read where i said that i order just from Bowen and the savings more than makes up r the club price.

Gentlemen,
Club exclusives are great and a wonderful part of CC membership. However, keep in mind Randy has a lot going on. Maybe he is just busy getting as much regular MB and FS done as he can before the contract runs out. Think how we would all feel if we had no Bowen's to collect. Maybe then we would appreciate what we are getting now.

I'm thinking you're right in that Bowen is waiting to offer the Black Knight CC exclusive until they are closer to be shipped since he'd be selling them directly through the website. It probably just makes life easier for the company to be able to take the orders and have a quick turnaround.

I prefer the unique character over repaints, but there are some really cool repaints available on characters that Bowen releases so I can't complain, but yeah I'm all about a Doop or Thor Frog over a white costume Elektra, mainly because you are adding a new (obscure) character to the collection.

To me, what makes them special is that only club members can buy them. Website exclusives can be ordered by anyone. I guess the waiting wouldn't be so bad if we knew what, if any, new exclusives we were getting. If Randy said tomorrow that we are getting Frog Thor, Red Cape Black Knight, and Tommy Gun Bucky, but they won't be up till November, that would be rough, but at least we'd know whats up.

My point though is that we don't have a reason to expect CC Exclusives, he's only promised the 20% discount, but he's gone over and above the call of duty by also offering collector's club exclusives. I dig 'em and the more the merrier, but I think he's probably pacing himself since he just offered a ton of Website Exclusives.

Yeah, WWC is a blast. Wish BD still came.:sad:
Well my point is that we do have a reason to expect CC exclusives, because they have always been done. Every three months or so, there were new exclusives. Golden Bucky, FF She Hulk, Electro w/arms, Armored Daredevil, White Elektra, GC Frankie Raye, Red Cape Black Knight mb, Chrome Iron Man 2-Pack, Red Iron Fist mb, etc. They have ALWAYS been done, it reasonable to believe they'll continue.
Obviously we'll have to agree to disagree, but I'd be willing to bet the majority of club members joined assuming Exclusives were part of the deal. I know Randy is very very busy, and I know he has a few exclusive ideas rattling around in his head, and I have no doubt we'll be seeing some soon.

But that was one small period of time. There weren't many CC Exclusives in the first phase were there?
I went to WWC from 1999-2005. I missed 2006 with the birth of my son. In 2007 I attended Wizard World Texas, much smaller, but still a lot of fun.

I started in '99 too. '99-'03 were the glory days. Since then alot of companies have dropped out, and its gotten a little smaller, but I still love going. You just never know whats going to happen. Last year I ended up in a panel with Gary Oldman, Christian Bale, and Aaron Eckhardt. And I met Michael Madsen. This year I have an Ethan Van Schiver commission waiting for me, and there is going to be a Image founders panel. Hopefully a The Dark Knight surprise too.

Membership to the Bowen Designs Collector’s Club gives you to a 20% discount on all orders for a full year. The discount is effective immediately, so that you can order other items at the same time you join the club and take advantage of the savings right away.
You will receive an introduction letter (via email) with your member number that should be included when placing all orders. (The discount does not apply to shipping charges.)
Where does it say that they will offer frequent if ANY exclusives? Sorry, but there are multiple threads on both boards asking where the exclusives are. The man has had a hell of a time getting Phase 4 going. I say, give him a break. That's all.
Geez!

Well my point is that we do have a reason to expect CC exclusives, because they have always been done. Every three months or so, there were new exclusives. Golden Bucky, FF She Hulk, Electro w/arms, Armored Daredevil, White Elektra, GC Frankie Raye, Red Cape Black Knight mb, Chrome Iron Man 2-Pack, Red Iron Fist mb, etc. They have ALWAYS been done, its reasonable to believe they'll continue.
Obviously we'll have to agree to disagree, but I'd be willing to bet the majority of club members joined believing Exclusives were part of the deal. I know Randy is very very busy, and I know he has a few exclusive ideas rattling around in his head, and I have no doubt we'll be seeing some soon.
Geez!
