    Yeah, I was hoping for a retail release of him as well.

    But hey, this will surely give me the incentive I need to join TFCC!

    According to the reports that people are getting hacked even while using the new store, people are going to need that credit monitoring :lol 

    And I agree, all the club has to do is figure out a way to use PayPal; problem solved. Every other site I buy Transformers from offers it... hell, even iGear offers it!

    Just remember when using a prepaid card, don't give FP your phone number either -- give them a made up one.

    I only heard of one person having their card hit after the new system. I thought we were treating it like an isolated incident till more came up or more news in general on it?

    Paypal would solve all their problems. However I do know paypal tends to always side with the buyer and with the issues the club has with the QC on figures that leads to a lot of issues with people opening up a case... That could be what's keeping them from using it. But I have no idea if that's true or not.

    Again. We are using a commercial software off site web store. "If" they were getting hacked, HUNDREDS of web stores would be compromised at the same time.

    So no, cards are not be compromised through this web store agent...

    And back on topic, Scourge was pitched late last year... Had nothing to do with trying to "use" a good toy for PR. We want to offer the best toys we can period :)

    So if he's next year's figure, can we know why Hasbro passed on it and offered it to you? Would they have made him a SDCC exclusive(as usually is the case) but instead wanted the SDCC exclusive to be PRIME(or possibly FOC)-related so they let the club sell Scourge?

    Since you've already done Sky-Bite and now possibly Scourge, will you be pursuing other R.I.D. characters in the future to sell through the club or con? Not asking for character specifics, just wonder if the club has decided it wants to do more R.I.D. in the future.

    Doesn't matter how he comes out in 2013, I'll just say "Yeah, Scourge!"

    And we already have Sideburn too. The Generations Bruticus will make a great Ruination Botcon boxset. Full R.I.D. revival!

    Famous last words, albeit grammatically incorrect ones. May as well just typed "HULK NO SMASH CREDITS ON WEBZONE"

    ...his other post reads like Pete just confirmed Scourge though.

    Ha. I should elaborate...

    Sucks to be unemployed, AND got a wife and twin infant girls too!

    I really hate my former employers right about now... then again, I found out they are criminals so maybe it's not so bad...

    ... no wait. It is.

    BUY MY STUFF!!!! (thread link below) :( 

    Looks like I'm skipping this year's TF goodness... :(

    I'm guessing Hasbro will still do a "Nemesis Prime" version of this mold too, as that clear skull head was intended for *something* by hasbro.
