I decided to just order the two I wanted from BBTS (Lifeline and Toxitron). Sure, it's pricier than what the individual toys would be with a sub, but in the end I'm still saving money since I don't want to blow $350 for two or three toys I want and some others IDGAF about.

Uhhh. Why not MP or Classics Ravage? Are those supposed to reference something?

 

Cool

 

Blackcat (G1 - Transformers Wiki)

 

They probably placed more focus on reusing a mold they created themselves. Which is fair, right?

 

It was a SDCC exclusive. Funpub didn't make it.

 

They didn't create them. Using non transforming toys for Transformers characters is dumb. I thought it was dumb with Afterbreaker and just as much so, here. I'm totally on board with the characters. Just not the toys used. I'd rather have nothing than not doing it right. Toaster was always a toaster, right? Not that it's a great toy but wouldn't Ejector be a better choice? You know, because he's a toaster.

 

The set was always going to be Scarlett, Cobra Commander, Biggles-Jones, Megatron, and Ratbat.

Having Blackcat and Toaster as accessories is a way of getting them into the set without adding the extra cost of a fully fledged figure.

Think of it as a little extra bonus to the set. That rather than coming with another G.I. Joe gun or sword, it comes with two new characters that are accessories to what's already present in the set.

Plus Blackcat's color scheme would have made for a really weird / bad looking cassette.

Wow, looking at the TFwikis for Toaster and Blackcat, I'm impressed.

I really wish the club would have included a rail gun accessory for us to put on an original HISS in place of the turret on top. The HISS with rail gun is easily the most recognizable COBRA vehicle from the G2 crossover comics.

 

This set already sold me with Megatron, Cobra Commander, and Scarlett. Wasn't interested in Ratbat as he was a Masterpiece but I've accepted that if I got this he would be my CHUG Ratbat till they make him in Titans Return or something. But then you throw in Blackcat and Toaster! Hell to the yes, give me that!

 

That Blackcat deco would have been amazing on an actual cassette. You're crazy, Randy.  

 

Yeah it would be cool, but not sure how you'd get all that black shading on the figure. Tape mode might end up very weird.  

 

How would it have been any different than Ravage, really? Not much, I'd say.

 

Hey quick question, and I apologize if this is in the wrong thread, but this is direct from a google search.

When is the final payment for the subscription service?

 

Do you mean the service that hasn't even started mailing yet? Or the one that's just recently completed?

If the one that hasn't started yet, I assume that they'll follow the pattern of having payment only after the first shipment, although it does seem likely that both payments #2 and #3 will be right on top of each other.

If the one that's just finished, the final payment should have happened some time ago. Before the final figures were shipped.

 

I'm asking about subscription service number 5. Fun Pubs final one.
I think the first payment was what....June? July?
The next payment should be coming up, right?
Or when shipping begins.
I'm just having a difficult time finding corrent information.
