They are going to be a part of a new subscription system that allows you to purchase all six figures and have it shipped to you on a timed basis. Details of how often they ship has yet to be released and the cost has not been revealed yet. They did say that there may be opportunities to purchase individual figures but pricing would be different for per figure purchases (most likely higher price). Don't know if this is going to replace the regular exclusives that TFCC run every year (Drift and Over-run). More likely than not these figures will not be in a special design box like the Drift and Overrun.

 

Not really seeing what differences there are between TFCC Breakdown and the KO one offered by CHMS. I'm not biting on these (and Breakdown is the only one I'm interested in) unless TFCC finally accepts PayPal (and the security it offers; stolen credit cards numbers are NOT worth any toy, no matter how exclusive).

 

Tempting, but the hit-to-miss ratio is a little off for me, and I'm too lazy to sell off somewhere between 3 and five figures to make the math even out.

 

Have some of you guys been living under a rock? The Club has been talking about a subscription service for over a year. At Botcon this year, they released colored layout samples of the six figures. Figures are expected to retail for $50-$60 a piece so expect the subscription to cost anywhere from $325-$400 including shipping. 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.

 

I'm looking forward to all of these...but Ultra Mammoth most of all.

 

To he people complaining about them "coming too soon" or "FP not giving us enough time to save up"... They told us at Botcon it could start as early as LATE JUNE. It's MID AUGUST. They're running behind. You've had almost 4 months to save up. We knew it would probably be 3-400... We've had almost two extra months. Hopefully they start tomorrow. We'd still have 3 weeks..

Edit: ha! 03mach1 beat me to it..

 

Yeah; there's been no word of a freebie aside from the usual membership figure.

 

I'm only interested in buying Slipscream. I might get this off of ebay if the price is decent.

 

All of them look interesting.

 

Ok, I will say: Circuit looks very good in this picture.

All those are Classics? My Classics shelf will be more weird... more Exclusive than Retail figures.

Now, bring Jackpot and Slipstream!!!

 

that pictured three (3) figures are my sought after in this subscription service.. slipstream, 50/50. mammoth and jackpot will definitely let go..

 

Circuit will be going up against Slicer in my collection (battle of the European exclusive Actionmasters)!

I wanna see Slipstream next!

 

true enough but when you figure in all the great stuff that has come out /is coming out coupled with no solid information on the sub service i don't blame people for not saving up.

Solid info to me is:
Hard date for subs to open
Confirmed pricing.
shipping order would be nice but not required.

We have none of that only guesstimates.

Hard to plan when you have no definite information to work with.

 

Scourge and Breakdown look nice. I also really liked Slipstream and Depth Charge. I hope we see those soon.

 

Black Convoy (I was really hoping Takara would've made him while the club made Scourge), Slipstream, and Ultra Mammoth are all I'm interested in. I'm thinking I may just BBTS them.

 

This summer and fall? I think we have 2 deluxe Prime figures coming soon, and 4 voyagers. Then Bruticus at retail for FOC... Everything else is 2013. (correct me if I'm missing something).

 

I think most people are referring to all of the Masterpiece figs on the horizon that are eating up people's pre-order money. Not to mention 3rd party figs!

 

I'm diggin' Scourge and Breakdown.
