TF Club Archive Sale

[Krayt]

MAN I HATE THE CLUB SOMETIMES!!!!

The one day i don't check my email as soon as i get to work, they email out saying they are selling stuff thats clogging the warehouse...

Many old con exclusives were 1 item only... all gone now :-(

[Deonasis]

That is frustrating and i am disillusioned with the club but... I don't understand the rage at the club here. Were they meant to offer them to you first?

Ok, i get what you are saying and yes, missing out sure does suck!

And as an added bonus, you won't know the item's out of stock until you click add to cart. Gotta love that set up.

i'm a bit frustrated that the two things I really wanted, look available but will not add to my cart.
actually I'm a lot frustrated. the only two club produced things I am disappointed I missed out on at the time.

I just think it is indicitive once again of the fact that they percieve it as a US TF Collectors Club - not a global one - that the email started with "I hope things are cooling down in your area". We live in Australia mate, we are just coming out of winter! Not everyone you send this email to lives in the US of A

It is an unusual thing to see, one of each - selling what looks to be the collection of one of the employees, or FunPub's own archive of everything they've ever done that is kept for future reference.

Makes you wonder if they are clearing out their archives, because they didn't get their license renewed and are just selling off everything to be done with the whole franchise (it would have been up this year, if it was a second 5-year contract).
But... they wouldn't be pre-selling next year's subscription set if they were washing their hands of Transformers.

Shipping to here would have negated any saving too...

They are including a new, unique certificate of authenticity with each item, which they are boasting about it having a stamp/seal that is the oldest/first one Hasbro used back in 1926.
(not that the boxset certificates ever meant anything, because the boxes aren't sealed, so there is never any way to certify that the contents are original, untampered or legit)

We can dream - what a wonderful thing it would be if the franchise was leased to another company!

And given their dodgy record of pocketing money they know is owed to their customers, I wouldn't put it past them to sell subscriptions that they will never fufill. Like that assisted living centre on 4 Corners that was still selling units when they knew they were getting shut down in a weeks time

You must be an optimist Griffin. I was thinking they need cash fast, and may close doors before we get our subscription figures. I remember when OTFCC did that....
