First Subscription figure now out

[griffin]

The first of six subscription toys were sent out before BotCon and have been appearing at people's homes... including here in Australia.

The first of the six is.... Scourge, the redeco of Generations Gen2 Optimus.

I think they are coming out monthly.

(I thought that they were sending out two at a time, or at least would have now to catch up)

[UltraMarginal]

I'm still waiting for my delivery slip in my mail box... :(

[SuspectimusPrime]

Me neither. I didn't renew my subscription this year, hope they don't delay my shipment out of spite!

[Gouki]

Figured they would have had all these ready to go. Or at least be doing better than one figure a month.

[Ravagecat]

Of course it's Scourge :rolleyes: come on Slipstream for number 2 :D

[Zeratron]

I had my Scourge arrive this Tuesday, but I did renew my subscription for this year, although one would hope that they've send everyone's out and not just prioritized active sub member figures...

Haven't had a change to really give him a look over, but mine does have the exhaust pipe through the cardboard roof paint ware on the tips, which is a shame but I'm not too fussed over it, just glad that we are finally starting to see the figures

[CHILENO20]

I got my Scourge about a week before BotCon. Wouldn't be suprised though if the rest take their time, I hope Ultra Mammoth aint the last one to arrive.

Did you guys ever receive a shipping notice?

Looking at the Seibertron post reporting on TFSS Slipstream (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/inhand-images-tfss-slipstream/27778/), it seems like they're returning to sealed baggies. Hopefully this will be the case going forward - especially for a fragile mould like Ultra Mammoth.

Well it looks like someone has snuck out a Slipstream from the images on tfw2005 and seibertron (two seperate sets of photos), so I'm hoping that she is on her way (to the club, at least).

The only other one I want is Ultra Mammoth/Magnus, and once he is sent out I'm thinking of cancelling my credit card so that I can't be billed for the remainder.

[griffin]

I think that's why they might leave the more popular ones until last, to prevent people from cancelling their subscription before the next part-payment kicks in.


There's no guarantee that Slipstream will be next, as FunPub got all six toys at once. If someone has leaked photos of one, you might find that FunPub will leave that one until later, after seeing that those images suggested it was going to be next. After all, they set this random feature up to make it a surprise when each one arrived at your door. (except the last one of course)

Just a standard one from FunPub round the 15th of June. About a week later I saw via Facebook that a few peeps in the USA had gotten theirs. I was actually surprised I got mine so fast. Now that I've said that, more than likely the rest will take their time. C'mon Ultra Mammoth!!!

On a side note, do we know any of what next year's ones will be aside from Rampage & Transmutate?

[griffin]

Rampage and Transmutate are not part of the subscription series. Rampage is the Membership toy and Transmutate is a stand-alone club exclusive that will come with a box to fit Rampage with it.

The Subscription figures so far known for 2014 are...
Chromedome - from TFPrime Wheeljack
Treadshot - from Generations Warpath
Ironfist - from Generations FOC Roadbuster

Considering the price of these figures I'd be annoyed about the paint wear :confused: You should at least enquire about the possibility of a discount/part refund or something?? Threaten them with cancelling your membership or something :D

Knowing my luck she will be last :( curse those leaky pictures of her floating around :p

[MayzaPrime]

I haven't received my shipping notice yet either...

[griffin]

Mine hasn't arrived yet either... :(

Sweet, something to look forward too.

[fatbot]

i never got a shipping notice, my three arrived last week

Is this how I join? https://www.toyarama.com/store/transformers-club-membership-international-only-p10.php

[griffin]

Yes. Just be aware that there may be some special requirements when making your first payment. They may still ask for a photocopy of a credit card to be faxed to them... which is bizarre.
It is also best to use a credit card that has a very small credit limit or a debit (credit) card that only has on it enough money to cover registration costs - as they have had security issues in the past, and don't seem to take security too seriously (http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-conventions-get-togethers/919803-why-botcon-dying-opinionated-analysis-4.html#post9539220).

[reillyd]

Neither Scourge or Depthcharge has arrived for me. Getting a little frustrated to read others have

[griffin]

Three more have been auctioned off by an Asian source, which would be from the factory... and is not an indication of the actual release order.
Ultra Mammoth, Circuit, Jackpot. (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/conventions-15/in-hand-images-of-transformers-subscription-service-figures-177965/)

Notice from Brian Savage this afternoon indicating that the second of the set will start shipping from 22nd July.


Hello all.

We are getting ready for the next shipment. We need you to check your address and change it if you have moved since the first shipment.

Please log in https://www.mastercollector.com/fss/login.cfm?eid=3 if you need to change your shipping address.

You have until 8 am Central Time on Monday, July 22, to make any corrections as we will be pulling the addresses out of the system to start the next shipping process on that day.

For those of you who paid in installments:

Please note that in August, we will be moving the second billing date to August 15th as we were able to start shipping a month earlier (June) than anticipated for the start of the delivery period. Please ensure if you are on the installment plan that your credit card is correct in the system on that date so that your subscription is not cancelled.

Thanks!

Brian
