This to me seems to be a worthwhile club, I wanted to join but they've shut down international orders so I can't
With some of these decks being ones I can't get in the UK at all it would be fantastic
Getting the fulton decks on release also seems pretty cool

Well, there are big drawbacks.
On the one hand, you do get more in decks than you would have paid at retail.
On the other hand, the lion's share of those decks will be of their own store stock - their decks, or perhaps a T11 or CARC deck. Now and again they come out with something like a blue-seal Arrco deck, but easily half or more of the decks will be theirs, and at least some of the rest will be other companies they're tight with.
You don't always get the Fulton's decks when they're released, or the D&D decks. Notice the Steamboats repro decks were released at about the same time as the NFBs, but they haven't been issued as a DOTM yet. If you do, and it's a deck that comes in more than one color, you're only getting one deck of one color - you'd still have to place an order if you wanted the other or if you wanted two of that deck, as many collectors buy a pack to open and use, a pack to store and save.
If you aren't a die-hard D&D fan who loves every deck they issue with a passion, you stand a good chance of getting clunkers as often as decks you want if not more. Then is it really worth the purchase price of membership anymore?
