As ridiculous as that price point sounds to me, being a blog designer and all, I can't help but marvel at the ingenuity of Small Potato a.k.a WP Designer.
I think there is value in joining WP Designer's Theme Club simply because it's ridiculously cheap. Plus if you're a designer you could use the themes as a base for building client websites. There is no copyright on any of the themes {I like to build my own frameworks - keeps my creative juices fresh 
}. He plans on releasing 12 themes a year.
You're probably thinking why I'm talking about his theme club when he is in direct competition to me. It's quite simple actually, because he is not competing with my market. My market consists of bloggers looking to be completely distinct. I'm sure they know that even if they did join the club and put down $5 they will still be sharing the same theme with each and every single member. To get it customized would probably cost them another $599 {my price for a makeover}. Most designers don't even do makeovers. So you'll probably end up paying at least $1 k for a unique wordpress theme.
Here's the official press release about the theme club.

it is really good idea. He won’t have to work so much and you will get what you want. The best thing in that is that you won’t have to pay 100′s of dollars. Good idea !
