TFCC Subscription Service closed 10 September 2012. Now for the waiting game...

This is what I want to see before I order, shipping to the UK is crazy as it is.

$282 for 6 figures is $47 a figure. Isn't that a little steep?

@ this:

"Don't go online and tell people what figures you got when they ship so it's a surprise to everyone!"

Like that'll happen.

Pay in full now and they don't start shipping until January? Yea, that kind of sucks. That's a long time to just hold the money like that; they should just bill you each time they ship a figure like MattyCollector does imo.

I'm pretty sure that would just be shipping for each shipment. So there would be 3 shipments, not 6 since they are coming in pairs.

Yeah.....personally, its not a big deal....but you know people are going to whine about the shipping charges, which I am guessing will be about $8-$12 per figure/shipment.

On a positive note, this is great news and I think the price ($285 including fee) is justifiable. It's basically a Botcon "boxset" price

So how many figures total do you get for close to $300?

6 figures.

$282 for 6 figures plus some fees and shipping.

IMO, this is worth it to me and I'll be purchasing.

6 figures = $282
$12 shipping x3 = $36
$3 processing fee x3 (possibly) = $9

Total = $327 for US resident.

Worth it for me personally. I'm not CERTAIN about these number assumptions, but it's my guess.

Something to consider, one of them is a voyager sized figure which are usually about twice the size of a deluxe. And this voyager is the BW2 Woolly Mammoth mold which is a pretty good sized voyager compared to the recent Prime stuff. So considering that, it puts the deluxes around $40 each and Ultra Mammoth around $80.

I guess he's actually an Ultra class, but those aren't made anymore.

So we're looking at:

Subscription: $282
Per swipe charge: $3 ($9 for 3 installments)
Shipping: depends on shipping location

It actually costs close to a convention boxed set, so not too bad.

Why they still don't allow the use of PayPal is beyond me. Basically the $3 charge is per transaction or "swipe" of the credit card used.
And those that don't like the per transaction charge? Get used to it. Many retailers are going to be going the same way because it actually costs a small percentage of each transaction or a small fee for the use of a credit card vs cash. Some retailer's (Wal-Mart, etc) don't charge it because they fear it will deter sales and folks tend to spend more if they use credit over cash. Small businesses simply don't do the volume required to allow them to "eat" the cost. Sucks, but that's the way it is.
