I am!

Hey dEnny!, do you know of a Bowen Marvel checklist sort of thing being available anywhere on the net?

I used this site to create a master list of my statues to include the number I own.

Unfortunately, I can't be... living in Canada. Wish I was though. It's torture waiting for my LCS to get his stuff in. And even then I'm not guaranteed what I want as they only get a limited number in, and if I don't get there first... I just missed the Terrax mini-bust and now I gotta get it somewhere else.

That's a drag. How affordable is shopping through eBay.ca?

It's actually not too bad. I've only ever purchased a few through ebay.ca though. The air of uncertainty is always a little unwelcoming. Is the item as described... that kind of thing. For the few I did get through ebay, it was actually cheaper than my LCS, which is why I went that route. He has to raise the prices a bit to compensate for the costs it takes to get them to his shop. The Watcher mini bust is listed at $79.95 and I've seen auctions won where the winning bidder has paid about $30-$40.

Sell me on the club. What does it do for me? Other than perhaps allowing me to not spend an arm and a leg on the Electro bust with hands

Two big perks. You receive a discount, but you'd get that anyway as a retailer, and you are eligible to purchase the exclusive busts/statues only available to members.

I'll throw my 2 cents worth in for consideration. I live in Canada and can't order any Marvel related item direct from Bowen due to the contract Bowen has with Marvel. I'm still a member because Randy doesn't just make stuff for Marvel. I'm a member because of the discount available to members for the stuff I can buy and have shipped direct. Also, I am a proud owner of two Bowen T-Shirts that I wear to conventions and "Bowen Knight" get togethers - a bonus available to members. I signed up too late for the Bowen Coffee Mug but there may be more of those coming down the road.

As for those who live in the states and who can order directly from Bowen, I can't beleive anyone who collects Bowen busts and statues is not a member! One of the not so often mentioned benefits is that members generally receive lower issue numbers on the items they buy direct.

I wish I lived in the US to be able to take full advantage of being a member or wish Randy could sent direct - gotta tell you, his not being able to ship outside the US is one stupid condition for a contract on Marvel's part, and, yes, I hope someone from Marvel read's this post!

Merrik, that's one of the reasons I bought virtually all my stuff from an LCS in Edmonton. I got details is your are interested.
