TFCC Subscription Service- In-Hand Samples

Cheebs · 08-14-2012, 09:12 PM

Every single one of them looks great. I just need info on price and the status of their security before moving forward.

If they use the same model as the GI Joe Club Subscription Service (which I assume they wiil) you can pay in three installments with a service charge of $3 per payment. The toys are made to order, meaning as many members who sign up is the number of figures made, and sign up is open for three weeks. If available, extra figures can be purchased individually from the club store. The Joe SS gets a freebie figure but I don't believe said freebie has been mentioned on the Transformers side.

way to much to chance for a "club" that really hasnt got it together, 90 to 100 bucks i can fool with, 325 to 400 the site/company must have a better track record than Funpub.

Im just thinking TFCC had it made before the 3rd partys came out, now the Fandom wants new molds not re-paints.

Anyone have that pic? and if not, can someone tell me the molds they plan to use? I know:

Circuit is Axor
Scourge is G2 Prime
Breakdown is Sideswipe
Depthcharge is Terradive

What of the other two?

EDIT:: Nvm, found that Slipstream will be FE Screamer and Ultra Mammoth is Big Convoy, and Jackpot will be Animated Jazz

Hmm, don't know if I want these figs enough to subscribe though...

Nooooooooo! Animated Jazz mold is amazing! And is my favorite

If it was made of Classics Jazz I'll loose any interest in the toy. I have Stepper (Classics Jazz mold) and it isn't in any way a great toy like the Animated Jazz.

Because it's a tradition

. And many people wants a Classics Breakdown. Good for me, Breakdown and Scourge will probably be good sells.

YES! If they want to release another Breakdown, it needs to be an Animated. But I will prefer to see Animated characters that still didn't have toys. Who don't wants a Grinder or Venom from Blackout mold?

Sorry, but this doesn't make any sense. If Scourge was the freebie, the club will have a lot of members, but not sell a lot of subscriptions. With Scourge in the subscription list they will sell the club membership AND the subscriptions. Win-win.

Now we need to wait more revelations... and the TFSS price...

D: I need dat scourge

Optimus Prime · 08-14-2012, 09:49 PM

Circuit actually looks really cool! Scourge is obviously the best of the bunch. Breakdown comes across as bland next to the other two. I really don't want to do this subscription thing, as Scourge is the only one of all of them I really want, but I imagine aftermarket prices for Scourge will come close to the cost of the whole subscription...

If the subscription service is anything like the G.I. Joe one, we can probably count on BBTS to do preorders for these as individual toys as well, cutting out the need for people to pay hefty subscription and (hopefully) cheaper than the secondary market.

Those two Nano-Bats I've got sitting in there need company anyway.

Either that or lose members altogether. I'm not renewing... Don't care about the freebie and the sub is lackluster at best. Scourge is decent looking, but not worth renewing AND ordering a sub I at best only care about two figures for. And coming off all the shit they went through recently, it probably woulda been in their best interest to make the incentive fig worth a damn.
