TFCC Melissa Faireborn and 'Old Snake'/Stealth Bats on sale

[reillyd]

Via the club store, you can order the GIJoe cross-over sets:


Melissa Faireborn with afterburner
Old Snake, Stealth Bats (Soundwave repaint)


Melissa is $42.00, but cheapest shipping for 1 item is $49 making shipping more than the toy.

Old Snake is $79.00 for two Deluxe TFPrime Soundwave repaints, and a Joe figure. Some people may like it if you're familiar with the old cartoon.

Gah - I would have considered getting it too - but not at what'll add up to about $100 aus for a non-transformable figure.

Make that AU$130 at current exchange rate... :(

Disappointing. Would have loved the Old Snake figure but at that price? Ugh.

You get what you paid for.

Want a cheaper price. You end up with Divine Brown. Just ask Hugh Grant. ;):p

I guess it means they are still in stock... and if it were more than five years ago, before they started shafting the fandom, it is unlikely that they would have lasted a day (because both clubs would be interested in these).


Remember when FunPub toys were in such demand, that they would sell out within a matter of hours or a day...

I remember the rush to get Punch/Counterpunch he was such an awesome figure and I was lucky enough to get one.

the one club figure I'm really disappointed not to have. can't justify aftermarket prices though.

I wonder why these haven't shown up on BBTS. They normally have every TFCC product at release or soon after. If BBTS had these guys I'd add them to my POL.

BBTS didn't get the SDCC toys either... which is really annoying for those of us with limited options when it comes to doing big orders just to offset the postage. :(

BBTS Has preorders up, but I think BBTS might have had to pay full price for them because Marissa is $65 USD and Old Snake is $115 USD.

That's almost $70 more for the pair before postage... it's probably cheaper for us to order the pair from FunPub if you are a member.

[reillyd]

My postage comes to 57.90 Priority Mail for the pair, so I'm going to pass , or 53 if I buy a second Melissa. So going to be cheaper to bbts it :(

[griffin]

No it won't... unless my maths are wrong.
It's US$179 from FunPub (US$121 for the toys, US$58 for postage), which is a dollar less than the price of just the toys at BBTS (US$180). So no matter how cheap the POL postage will be, it is already cheaper to buy from FunPub. :(
