TFSS 4.0

Anyone had trouble entering their credit card? Says that mine has been entered wrong and must exactly match my statements etc etc. Yet this is the same card they are using for 3.0 and my club membership??

Mine wouldn't go through yesterday, but I tried it just now from work and went through fine. Maybe a problem with their payment processor?

The Club has now done up a page for their Subscription toy (mockup) reveals, and Needlenose is the first to be added.

Looks like the usual FunPub "marketing" procedure of getting people to buy first and find out later what they are getting. (as people have already been signing up to the subscription set)
You'd think they'd have done all the reveals before starting the subscription period... considering they had the mockups done back in June for BotCon.

I need to see all the vehicle modes before I jump on, I'm still not convinced this is something I need.

Posted over at TFW and might cause a bit of a stir by the FunPub critics... the background images of bombed out buildings on the first group-shot advertisement (in post #8 of this topic), is from the ongoing Syrian conflicts.

I honestly didn't even see the background imagery in that first promo image,* so I don't think they should have used anything at all.
And if they did have the background image be more obvious for some sort of destructive/mayhem theme, I guess no matter where they get "war" images from online, it might be seen as being tasteless to someone out there... so I don't have a big issue about this one (but it is likely to bring out the FunPub haters though, who look for any reason to jump on FunPub - I don't need to find reasons, as I have enough legitimate issues against FunPub already).
It's not like FunPub used photos that prominently showed dead bodies that could then be seen in their own promo image.


(* it's a bit like those "Nerd Test" joke images that have a sexy lady with something nerdy, with a caption inferring that nerds' eyes would be drawn to something techy first before noticing the boobs... well, on this occasion I didn't notice the "boobs" )

The second one has been fully revealed - Ruckus.

Still four more to reveal.

so the robot mode colours and the vehicle mode colours don't exactly match up...
which is it? their tweets imply that they haven't actually locked in the paint scheme yet.

[UltraMarginal]

so, they replied to my tweet.

what we can see is their final submission except for tweeking the forearm to match the vehicle.
Unless there is a reason why this can't be produced these will be the final colours.

I replied saying I thought it was a bit risky soliciting prior to actual approval.
