to cut the cost, a lifetime membership is probably the way to go.
I've been a member over there for quite some time..in fact, if I remember right, there were only a handful of items when i first joined..probalby 2000 or so. I've already paid more than what a Lifetime would be because I do annual renewals. Ususally don't have enough cash to do a Lifetime.
anyway , to renew to a Lifetime is only $125. That's only 3 years of annual membership, so if PW is around longer than 3 more years, its all in your pocket...basically free.

I haven't kept track of what has been released in 2007, but it has to be at least 20 items, probably more, so that's $2 each on an annual membership. Pretty cheap for sure.

I will say though, that it seems releases have slowed down quite a bit, but it is probably because of real life, and the modeling , which, as has been stated, is a one man show.
