I just got the pre-shipment tracking number!

It's coming! It's almost guaranteed to be Windsweeper. I can't wait!

 

Yes! This is my first year for the subscription, and I have to say it's very exciting to get new figures in the mail so often!

 

Bring it on. The sooner 4.0 is done, the sooner 5.0 starts shipping. Well, one would hope. Hoping for Windsweeper myself but I think Bludgeon is next.

 

yeah I am waiting on the Megatron pretender shell to come out. So hoping this ends ASAP so the next wave can start !

 

I wonder why the Club doesn't send out at least one of their seven Subscription toys in each series, early to non-Americans, so that we can see what it feels like to be the first for a change with a Club toy, instead of getting it two weeks later and not having any surprise left (I'm still waiting on Spinister).... or would it incur the wrath of some American fans, who paid half as much postage, but would be upset about not getting all 34 Subscription toys first.

Apparently it was an International fanclub, but you'd never know it with the way they don't give non-American members at least one thing first, despite paying twice as much for membership fees and shipping on the Club toys.

Not that it matters much now with the club closing, but it would be nice to have them time their shipments (which are done in batches) to have them arrive in other countries in the same week as Americans, or a little earlier for at least one toy. Because us non-Americans have always felt like second class citizens with the (American) Collector Club... when it doesn't take any extra effort or expense to be more inclusive of the foreign members (considering we pay so much more for the same membership stuff and toys).

Sorry... that was a little rantish, but we don't have much time left now to complain about the Club...  

 

I think it's more... they dedicate one or two days to ship them all out at the same time. Doing it a week or two earlier for internationals would require another day. Honestly, it doesn't matter to me. The day someone says theirs will arrive that day or the next, I stop reading this thread to avoid spoilers.

 

TFSS 4.0 figure 4

Credit to Thundershot. The safe money's on Windsweeper. I have the pre-shipping info, so I'm looking at early next week unless they are trying to get a bunch of stuff out after Joecon, and it ships tomorrow.

 

Very nice! Wasn't it supposed to have been mid July that #4 would be shipped or are they on time.

 

So, by ALL means let's have some more complaining now (sarcasm).

 

Cool; sorta hope they throw us for a loop by NOT giving us Windsweeper yet, but I guess we'll see.

 

Seems likely it'll be Windsweeper, but I'd love for it to be Bludgeon. I think I'm in the minority, but I am a fan of that character with that mold

Of course, I want a Bludgeon Pretender shell head for combined mode (*ahem* Renderform *ahem*)

 

Oh man I hope its Windsweeper, I think he's my favorite of the Service along with Impactor. Doesn't mean I don't love the previous three we got, I love them and they look good on my Con shelf but I really want Windsweeper.

 

I hope not.

The problem there is customs, could and does hols things for no real reason for indefinite amounts of time.

 

Couldn't agree more. Really looking forward to the next wave.

 

Excited! Still just shipping info so I suspect we will see it early next week if the last few shippings are any indication. I agree with Windsweeper being the likely arrival. I need to decide what sort of hands/feet I want for Thunder Mayhem, and alternatively Wreckage. After seeing Bruticus with UW Nosecone drill hands I kind of want to find some good gun/hammer/blades/ect to directly plug in instead of hands for these guys.

 

i missed the window for sub service 4. ( i was paying for a pet deposit on my apartment at the time) is anyone selling thier sub service 4 figures for less than 100 bucks apiece?

 

Oh cool. I have a TCP and AmiAmi order arriving over the next few days, so add another to the list of goodies heading my way.

 

My money is on Bludgeon or Impactor next. I suspect Bludgeon is not the sixth one - due to the size of the box that Bludgeon plus the freebie would need - so that leaves a deluxe for the sixth slot. And given how the club loves the suspense, the anticipation, I can see them engineering things so that the final figure is needed for the Combiner.

So on that logic, Windsweeper would be sixth.

 

pretty sure #4 is Windsweeper. Bludgeon will be 5th for the very box size reasons you've stated already. I dont see funpub making people wait through Impactor's month to finish the combiner. and we know that the freebie is gonna be a deluxe cw mold as an autobot. so shipping the 2 autobots together makes sense.

and I reckon from there, they'll begin shipping out 5.0 with Counterpunch or Fractyl with Scorponok being first. to keep the hype train rolling past Thunder Mayhem and Into Wreckage.

 

It would be weird if Impactor wasn't the last one. Bludgeon vs Windsweeper for #4 and #5 seems pretty inconsequential to me - if you think FP chooses the order to have the most sought after in the last two, you could make the case that Bludgeon is the least consequential one left. We have alternate options for torsos and many think we already have serviceable toys to represent Bludgeon from Hasbro.

As to 5.0, one of Fractyl or CP would be the most likely option to pair in a box with the bonus figure, so one of them might come early, but one will probably tend towards the end.
