I received an email today from foxconnect.com with the following:

Enter coupon ALIENEGG on cart page to buy for $99.99! Limit one use per customer. Limited Time Offer, will expire 6/30!

Tempting, but with the set $33 now, I can't justify an extra $67 for packaging, as nice as it could look on my shelf.

Got the uk set at $33 but great if you need the fancy packaging.

Never heard of this set before. Is this some non-usa release?

It's a US release, but exclusive to Foxconnect and 2010 SDCC... It includes a $50 Sideshow gift card, which helps lessen the blow, but still too much for me. At $75, I might bite...

I thought I read in other threads that those Sideshow gift cards are highly limited in what you can use them on. I personally don't know for sure since I've never used one. I just seem to recall thinking "that sucks" from the comments I read. Maybe it's a different situation in this case.

The gift cards are "highly" limited in what you can buy. Fortunately for me I've almost always found something to use it on but I bet there are several people that didn't want any of the few items available for purchase with one of these cards. Also, even with a gift card I have always had to pay extra out of pocket for an item.
