Reported back in January (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=15355) was a delay of 3 months for the Subcription figures. Now we have another notice from FunPub saying that the Factory couldn't send the toys before the BotCon shipment, so now the Subscription figures (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/tcc-funpub-announce-subscription-toys-due-to-ship-after-botcon-2013/27200/) AND the Membership toy (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/botcon-nonattending-allotment-and-club-updates/27202/) (Depth Charge) will NOT be released until after BotCon (in July).
Anyone expecting any of these toys, will now have to wait until about August to get them.
It still sounds like they are planning to release the Subscription figures in three batches, as per the original schedule... but it might be a tighter schedule if this is going to be an annual thing and they want to start taking orders for the 2014 set soon after. (this year's set was open for Pre-order in August last year (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=14231), so if that schedule is followed this year, we would only get two toys before they want us to buy six more)
