TFCC Closing?

[CHILENO20]

Hmmmm, interesting

[UltimateGalvatron]

I haven't dealt with them before, is this good or bad?

A bit of both. Some great toys but their service, well it leaves a lot to be desired. And that's putting it mildly.

I was kinda surprised to see people on Seibertron being so openly against FunPub, as I would have imagined that six months of partnership would have seen them more embraced or tolerated.

I think it will be worth showing both Seibertron and TFW links to Hasbro and see what they think.
(I don't want to see them shut down if there is no viable and willing substitute, but if Hasbro can step in to improve operations by setting standards and targets for customer satisfaction & sales, we'd end up benefiting as fans.)

The recent comic ended the SG arc but introduced a few things


////////SPOILER ALERT/////////


(future exclusives?) a sg primus (Energon unicron colours), windblade (Prime arcee) and strongarm. It ended with a g2 megatron about to raid a new cybertron (some tf called gaea destroyed the sg primus and adopted the negative polarity and normal universe transformers)

Much as I dislike certain aspects of FunPub, I do feel bad for Pete. Seibertron have had him on their podcast a couple of times over the years and he comes across as a really great guy and massive Transformers fan.

Unlike yourself Griff, when their downfall is preceded by terrible customer service and basically a "How To" on running a fan club into the ground, I'm all for kicking them when they're down. That way you make sure they don't get back up again

[Trent]

You know you're doing something right when news of your clubs closure excites the fandom more than anything you ever did with the license you held

I saw this and wondered if they were moving instead to a year by year membership. Primus knows they have trouble keeping things organised so if everyone's membership expired at the same time that in theory would be easier (if their system could cope!).

Still if it's on Seibertron, the official news site of the Club and hasn't been officially contradicted yet...

[DELTAprime]

If they are closing as the fandom is speculating I hope Hasbro brings the club figures in house. Much as I like a bunch of their figures the QC issues (and price) really scare me off.
