Collector Club 2015 toy sneak peaks

[griffin]

To get on top of the factory leaks, FunPub have also released an image of a Nacelle sample in robot mode.

just a question about the Club exclusives - now I know that Lio Convoy is the "free" figure, but there's also the option of buying a second exclusive, this year being Nemesis Prime. How does it actually work? Do both of them ship together if you buy the second exclusive, or do you have to fork out payment for postage down the track?
Sorry if it's a dumbs question, just never been through it myself.

[griffin]

The "free" figure is sent separately to everything because its postage is paid from the membership fee.
Any other exclusives (like the subscription figures and the Nemesis Prime) are sold separately. So yes, you will have to pay for extra (inflated) shipping on the extra exclusives to the membership toy.
(unless you find a group order to jump onto to reduce the international shipping a little)

Alright, thanks for the confirmation on that one.

Looks like Nacelle/G2 Starscream might be the last of the seeker mould figures

I wonder why? Mold damage, or they don't thing there is a market for Redwing? If you get the color right, he'd be superb. And I wonder where they got the number 31 seekers from? We've had KO versions of the seekers before, so I wonder if well get a Redwing that way?

I am surprised by this announcement...

I thought that we would have atleast got SG Dirge and Redwing before retiring the mould.

The mould has had a great run, it has to be close the most used mould.

That's 29, then add the two upcoming Club releases and we've got our 31...

For some reason this news finally kicked me over the edge in buying the Rainmakers set, so between those three, the two TFSS figures this year, the United Aces/Elite sets, and Acid Storm I'll have all the officially released characters (if not all versions of them)

The KO versions don't count in that list, so the total number of versions of the mould released is probably much higher if you include them.

And current speculation on places like TFWiki suggest they're not definitely discontinuing the mould, just not using it next year. Again that's speculation thought, but there's also no news that Hasbro or Takara won't re-use it (though I don't see that being all that likely).

EDIT: and while I have no idea who Redwing really is, a nice metallic red seeker would be amazing (somewhere between the bright red on United Starscream and the deep red on United Thrust would be perfect)
