    I don't have a Club Account (yet) so if anyone with an account could pick me up a Nova Prime figure when it goes on sale tomorrow, that'd be greatly appreciated!

    I remember when it took long years for the Botcon 2005 set to be heavily discounted. I know the 2013 set wasn't a best seller (to put it bluntly) but to see the prices cut so sharply on this as well as other fairly recent items ($45 for a Frank Welker autographed print, toys like the Botcon/Club 2015 figures) - does that not add more fuel to the rumors of there not being a club/Botcon next year? Doesn't this sort of feel like a fire sale? I'm not going Chicken Little here or getting schadenfreude, just honest discussion! I wish the club would just come out and say yes, we will have a Botcon 2017 and beyond and not just "2016 will be the best ever!" but I know they can be contractually limited to what they can say :(

    and I thought getting the 2013 Boxset at my local comic con (sans Starscream) for $200 was a good deal. :/

    If anyone is willing to purchase for me an "Old Snake" set (with Cobra Commander/Old Snake and the two BATs), I would be extremely grateful. Please PM me if you're willing and able.

    Looks I got my order through somehow for the Botcon 2013 boxset and another Frank Welker Megatron lithograph - wasn't easy! Got confirmation email and the charge is showing up as a pending transaction on my credit card

    Please stay off the Club site for next 20 minutes while we look to fixing it. Hitting it will only prevent it from getting back up.

    It took me 30+ minutes to get the Diaclone set and '15 Kreon set into my card, 40+ minutes to successfully log in and an hour to actually get the checkout screen to come up, but shipping options won't display.

    Fun.

    Well I logged onto my account around 8:50pm . Then I noticed that around 8:58 the Black Friday items were already listed on the website (at sale price). So I added the two things I wanted and tried to check out but that's when the site slowed to a crawl. After much refreshing I finally managed to pick shipping method and click the confirm order button.
