Thanks to ACToys, we have a first look at the Collectors Club exclusive figure, Side Burn. These figs were said to start shipping soon after Botcon 2011, so looks like they are on their way. Pics after the break.

Agreed. Sideburn: $25
shipping to TCC member: $7.50
shipping to Junkion buyer: $7.50
Total: $40
Noting seeing the problem here.

Past precedent for the recent club incentive figure of comparable size (Dion) is that this will cost $25 at the club store (previous incentive figures were only $20, but all but one of THOSE were basic/scout-sized, not deluxe). Sure, they CAN do something different, but I see no reason to suggest they will.

I honestly wonder how many extras they'll have up and for how long as i think these will be a very hot item. Is there a limit to how many you can buy at once? This will be even more true if FP announces a Blue Protector Armor repaint beforehand. Scalpers are going to be all over that thing.

Theres a chance it WILL cost 40~ from tfcc, unless someone has confirmed info otherwise, I wouldnt put it passed anyone. They know people will pay it, they are a business, 1+1=2

I'm working on that, but pretty much everyone I've talked to wants over $40 for this fig. I find that kind of funny, like basically paying for their membership so they get all the perks of the club and you basically get a deluxe for the price of 3.

Dion and Heatwave are still in stock, too. So if any non-members want Side Burn hookups, don't rush to ebay, just ask a member
Foster
I think they wait for a while so they can work through any returns/exchanges as well. Seems like maybe a month elapsed between when they shipped out Dion last year and when they had the remaining stock on the Club Store page.

They're not up JUST yet (unless I'm mistaken). Usually they go up after the ones given "free" to members have been shipped out.

Really? ~heads to club site~ now to wait for Canadian shipping to stop being ******ed with lockouts and strikes XD
Abrogate
As long as you are a club member, you can still buy spares for like $25 + shipping (not as good as getting it "free," but hey, you're still getting Runabout )

Sadly I missed out on getting this by about a week. ~whimpers~

They could make his little roller drone red!

Same. The original Rodimus type head would work as well, but if they put in extra work to make a head that looks more like the original RID design with the more cybernetic eye that would be pure win.

Anyhow, Sideburn looks good. It's a muted blue in the photos, I'm curious how it will look in person. I'm fine with the muted, though, if that's how what it ends up being.

Windcharger's going to need a restraining order.

I'm afraid hes going to start hitting on his classics Hot Rod clone. Awkward…

A set should also come with a "Little Red Sports Car" ^_^

Fans project should make an upgrade set that has some replacement body parts. Once you swap out all the new parts it becomes impossible to transform.

I'm hoping that FPJ gives Sideburn a head that looks like his RID self.
