TFSS 5.0 Is Live For Members

[prjkt]

Excellent - I should be getting mine soon too.

I recap reading something about Modulus on Seibertron I think?

[Krayt]

No, cheaper shipping this time, but I selected insurance, meaning that I think they went with a trackable "LZ" tracking number, rather than an untrackable "LC" one.

So did i... but not once got tracking. Got the insurance coz they said they would not fix or replace any bots without it...

Looks like, no ones opened 7s instructions... Coz no-one has mentioned the suggested combiner.... Ratchet, rook, Medix, Scattorshot and 7

I wonder if that combo is story related, or if it is the left over limbs to partner up with a Voyager who had no team.

Looking at mine, you will still have one Hasbro Voyager and one Deluxe spare (if you got every different one from Hasbro)... and you will still have the one JP Voyager spare too (Grand Scourge).
I guess if the Club had been operating this year we might have ended up with several more redeco Deluxes, as I would need another 7 to complete the last two Voyagers (or just three if you are only dealing with the Hasbro Combiner toys).

Grand scourge doesn't count in my CW.... But anyway he has a set of Butkus limbs here...

Scattorshot has a set of Computron limbs....

And I did a proper magnaboss...

So I have 6 leftover limbs and 2 bodies.... Rook, alpha b, Offroad, terrorsaur, that's galvatronus done...,

7 and still sealed Botcon ratchet can go sit with prime...

The Scattershot that was sold on its own didn't have Technobot limbs, so I was using it for various Club Deluxe limbs (currently has Fractyl, Bluestreak and Impactor).

I guess if you are only looking at Hasbro toys, and include the BW Magnaboss trio (Voyager Silverbolt, DLX Ironhide, DLX Prowl), it would leave you with one spare Voyager and a combiner missing a limb.

When the last three Subscription toys arrive, I will do up some photos and do a complete rundown of all the different Hasbro and TakaraTomy Combiners.
When they do get here, I will have 17 full Hasbro combiners with one Voyager and one Deluxe spare... and 10 full TakaraTomy combiners with one Voyager spare.

Final TFSS 5.0 shipment arrived today. So sad, so sad.

[Sinnertwin]

What's with the Voldomort'ing?

[bowspearer]

I got mine today and all I can say is.... ugh.

The fin began when my plan to have 2 salvageable sealed set with a decent mailer box went out the window when some idiot slapped the invoice envelope sticker down on the lower box- even at the end, it never ceases to amaze how a collector's club can't get their head around collector expectations of packing or that some people are getting multiples to keep things sealed where the packaging matters as much as the figures. When I wind up having to damage cardboard to remove tape- all because they're too stingy to put the mailers in a larger posting box, then it just goes to show that Hasbro taking the reigns will be a massive improvement.

With the exception of Toxitron, the other two are honestly so so. The deco on Counterpunch is ok, but there's a problem with getting the chestplate to lock in place in vehicle mode which isn't there on Breakdown.

Then there's the 7th figure which I don't know if we're still treating as a spoiler, but there are issues. I can see what they were aiming for with the deco, but the white is too bright imho and throws the whole thing off - a slightly dull white would have looked so much better.

As for Modulus- really Funpub?

You're making the requirements for it 2 copies of the 2016 custom class figure (guessing we're not talking about TT Ratchet in those instructions). How many people are even going to be able to make that combiner?

Seriously, why not Alpha Bravo or Offroad, given that the official combination for Wreckage is apparently Toxitron, Bluestreak, Impactor, Fractyl and Counterpunch?

Honestly, at this point, bring on the new Hasbro club.

My version of Modulus is Scattershot for the torso, Groove and Wildrider (or whatever his name is now) for legs and Fig 7/Alpha Bravo for the arms

[CHILENO20]

I'm making my version of Betatron. Use Scattershot as the body, the 7th figure whom I've repurposed as Rescaté for the right arm, Dogfight as the weapon and two of the customs I've done (Highjump and Slapdash) as the legs. Will hopefully soon start working on the final custom for the left arm.
