I think, but I don;t know for sure, that they've recently started selling certain items as stand alone in addition to the subscription. you could look into that to test the quality. 

I've been a life time member for about 8 years and can say I've never found anything else worth the value of that subscription! Steve's models are great and I think the output is generally high the quality is amaziing and the stabablility of the site is great concidering it;s a 2-3 person operation!

I can only say that, with the older back log of products available "massive" isn;t used lightly. When I joined I think I remeber getting something like 10 packed CDs of back stock items. I know that amount has continued to grow at a good rate.
