We received an update on the upcoming GI Joe/Transformers Club Membership figure courtesy of the Club. Here is the update:

To members of both clubs:

All Domestic free figures were mailed on 6/2/16. These items were sent via bulk mail service through the Post Office, which can take 3-4 weeks for delivery.

All International free figures were mailed on 6/24/16. These items were sent via bulk mail international service through FedX, which can take 6-8 weeks for delivery. These originally were supposed to go DHL and we had many issues with them so we had to switch to Fedex. Fedex transports the figures to your country and puts them in your country's mail system. We apologize for the delay.

If you do not receive your figure(s) by the end of July, please contact us at admin@funpubinc.com, and we will be happy to check on your figure.

These shipments do not have individual tracking numbers since they were sent via bulk mail services. If your item has to be re-routed for any reason this can make the delivery process even longer. If your item is returned to us due to an address change, you will be notified, and you will be responsible for the new shipping fee. If you had multiple memberships and multiple figures coming, these are not guaranteed to be delivered together. To be eligible for the 2016 free figure item you had to be an active member on or by 3/18/16.

Please do not contact our office until the end of July concerning these figures.

Thanks for your support! Have a great summer!

I'm guessing they could have saved themselves a lot of customer service emails and sent this note out when the figures were shipped, but, you know, funpub.

Shouldn't the next sub figure have been mailed or should be mailed about now?

I thought there was an email about that last week.

Impactor or Bludgeon? I think Impactor to delay the combining as long as possible.

Ok, I usually hear about that stuff too, it just hasn't happened this time around.

I always get my figure the day after the first arrival.

I'm kind of eagerly anticipating Bludgeon for some reason. >:oP

Gonna have to disagree with you and say Bludgeon is next due to it being easier to ship the 7th figure with Impactor than it would with Bludgeon

I don't see how delaying the combination further benefits them, since by figure 5 you'll have had to pay for everything anyhow IIRC. I'd think they'd go for Bludgeon first so the combiner COULD be made, and hold Impactor back to start the next one after. Especially if the bonus figure is part of Wreckage, in which case releasing it with Impactor means they can show Wreckage on Impactor's instructions.

So have we heard anything new about TFSS 5.0 yet? I'd imagine they'd have to start shipping out soon to get them all out in time, maybe even have to pair up figures since they have until December to get them out.

Nothing since a July email that said not until late Fall. And, yes, that they'd have to ship multiple figures together.

Note that Fall began this past week.

Finally, an update at the bottom of their latest club store email. Looks like some of this has been pushed back to 2017.

due to delays at the manufacturer, these should arrive in time to ship around the end of the year. However, there has been a change in the process. These figures will be packed into only three shipments, 2 figures, 2 figures and the final 2 figures with the bonus figure.

This means that there will be an installment payment due in January and one in February. The billing dates will not be set until we know the shipment is on it's way here.


So I guess December, January, and February releases?

Problem is if they ship them all at the end of the year there's nothing stopping people from using false payment information for the remaining installments. There's also no point in doing three shipments if they're all coming at the same time.

I don't disagree that it's a potential problem. I'm also not convinced that they're legally able to make shipments later. They've sounded pretty definitive in this matter in the past,

No, I agree, that was my understanding as well, but then why not just charge us in November and December instead? It's not like they can't charge the remaining installments first like they do the pay-in-full folks. I don't know, there's nothing normal going on with this subscription round.

Yeah, it's a little upsetting that 5.0 won't be coming until next year but damn, my wallet needs a break this year. I have quite a few preorders for November and December and two installment payments on top of those would've hurt. Then there's also Christmas as well. I was also hoping to not have to order such a big lot just for that green Megatron. I guess I'll have to pass on him as I don't have the extra money to order the set and sell off what I don't want. Especially because I might end up not selling the rest of the set off.

I still think it's a waste that Scorponok isn't using the Blackjack mold considering Toxitron is using the Battle Core Optimus mold. Scamper is cool and all especially since I don't have him yet but another Blackjack would've been better for the combiners sake.

Scorponok is using the Scamper mold so as to let Scorponok be considered an accessory to Fractyl rather than as his own figure, like how Scamper was deemed an accessory to Metroplex.

Plus, the Scamper mold has a visored face with a mouth and big forearms like Scorponok had, whereas the Blackjack mold doesn't have those distinctively Scorponok-like features. Nor is Scorponok meant to be part of a combiner.

So, i got in on all 3 crossover sets.
I had originally hoped that the only human 2packs would have made it through but i will take the 2 single offerings and hope that the other 2 will show up somehow in the "future"...
The set is intriguing, however it really was the MP Rabat that sold me on it.
Whether or not that will prove wise will only be learned once i have it in hand.
On another note, purchasing these has me seriously considering the SDCC16 crossover set as well.
Never got my hands on one of the SDCC x-over offerings before, so it would be a good addition now that the TFCC items are a go.

And here's a description of how the book-style packaging works:

The "book style" packaging for the 5 figure GIJOE / TRANSFORMERS crossover set is VERY collector friendly. Once the front panel is opened, the clear sleeve slides off. Figures can be removed and replaced in the internal blister tray as desired for play or display.

And so you don't have to squint:

Presumed dead when the Ark slammed back into the Earth, the mighty Megatron clandestinely worked to repair the crashed star cruiser. That is until a castle in Trans-Carpathia with a familiar conversion ability caught his attention. When Megatron approached the structure, he attempted to communicate with the castle as he believed it to be a fellow Decepticon. It was not! The Silent Castle was the covert base of operations for the terrorist group calling itself Cobra. Damaged from the Ark's crash and further damaged by the Silent Castle's defenses, Megatron reluctantly forged a deal with Cobra's supreme leader. Megatron would be rebuilt with a new body and alternate mode while Cobra Commander would gain access to Cybertronian technology. With the information and schematics Megatron had given Cobra scientists, Cobra Commander displayed a holographic blueprint of the Decepticon leader's new body. Megatron was impressed, but proceeded with caution. He could sense deception everywhere. He didn't trust Cobra Commander or Dr. Biggles-Jones, the scientist and weapons expert forced to develop Cobra's new rail gun, or the G.I. Joe defector Scarlett in Cobra's medical bay, or the secret Cobra experiment now waking in the basement laboratories of the Silent Castle...

However, not even Megtron was aware of a second set of Decepticon eyes that watched as the events unfolded. Cloaked in the dark corners of the base, Ratbat's interest had been drawn by rumors of Dr. Biggles-Jones' rail gun. As had the solitary investigators, Autobot Black Cat and Autobot Toaster, who had also infiltrated the Silent Castle hoping to determine how humans had acquired such advanced technology. Neither the Autobots nor the Ratbat had imagined that they'd set their eyes upon the returned Decepticon leader, rebuilt and badder than ever!

I understand that the whole story is originally inspired by the Marvel Joe comics crossover, but with the new additions to the story of Ratbat, Toaster, and Black Cat (two words now?) making it differ from how the original story's events went down, what new Marvel-inspired continuity might we consider this set to apply to?

And would it all be set in the same continuity as the Marissa/Afterbreaker and Old Snake/B.A.T.s sets? Those sets got their own write up story in one of the magazine issues, which described events based on those of the G1 cartoon, but with some notable differences as well.

Are all of the Club's TF/Joe crossover sets part of some greater Fun Pub TF/Joe crossover continuity? Or are they a part of some preexisting one(s)? Like, I could see the Marissa/Afterbreaker and Old Snake/B.A.T.s sets belonging to the Wings Universe, but this new set definitely seems to be part of some Marvel-based universe, but neither Classics nor OMAM seem to fit the bill as we know events akin to Marvel G2 did not happen in Classics and nor does OMAM have any signs of these events having happened since there was no humanity on OMAM Earth prior to the Classicsverse humans coming to OMAM Earth (so there'd have been no G.I. Joe or Cobra on OMAM Earth in the past).

The simple answer to "why not charge us in November...?" would seem to be their continued commitment to not charging us the second installment until after the first set is out. Does it make the most sense? Maybe not. Still....

That's some hefty pricetag on what they're offering. $129? I see maybe $90 or $100 worth, tops. Of course, I'd only be in it for the lower half of the product. The packaging itself is pretty nifty, though.

I still wish me had gotten an Omega Doom from Cybertron Menasor. :(

I really do see that high price as stemming from the fact that they packed so many things into the box. When I did the math on how much I would expect to pay for each item at retail*, the multiplier actually came out pretty low. Not as good as the subscription figures (which generate a good rate precisely by making you commit to all 6/7 figures at once), but lower than just about everything else that wasn't a membership incentive figure in the past several years.

*And I just considered Blackcat and Toaster as "extras".

darn...I think this just threw a kink in *my* & anyone's plan to collect only the figures which make up Wreckage.

They will probably pair up one Wreckage figure with a Pretender for the first two shipments.

The last Shipment will probably be Toxitron, Lifeline, & the 7th/bonus.

Of course I can always hope/pray that the first two shipments are divided as Prime/Megatron and Fractyl/Counterpunch. Then at the end I would only have one figure I didn't want, and could easily sell.

Thanks to the Transformers Collector's Club Facebook, we have an update on the shipping status of the 5.0 figures. The figures are still meant to ship and the club will be fulfilling all the orders placed, even though their time as the official club has ended.

They were also kind enough to share new artwork of Double Pretender Optimus Prime!

You can check out the Facebook release below, along with the new artwork!

We will still be filling TFSS 5.0 orders, selling licensed Transformers Club/Convention product and offering customer service in 2017, however our time as the official Transformers Collectors' Club ends tonight at midnight EST. Thank you all for you support over the last 12 years. Even though we will still be here, let's close this chapter with your first look at the artwork for Double Pretender Optimus Prime!

heres an update from the Sub service webpage https://www.mastercollector.com/fss/vie ... ilID=29023. In case the link dosnt work i've copied the contents below

Merry Christmas!

Due to manufacturing delays, the container will not leave China until the middle of January. This means that your first shipment should depart here by the end of February. Because of the delays, we have combined the figures into three shipments. After the first shipment we will run the billing for the second installment. We will not schedule the two installment billings until we have the container in hand. I know you are all anxious to receive the final figures from the Transformers Collectors' Club.

Thanks for your patience.

The figures, as we know, have been pushed back, and it now appears they will be shipping at the end of February. The figures are also now being sent in 3 shipments. You can read the forwarded email text below.

The original projected shipping provided was the shortest/quickest timetable estimate offered by the factory.

In other words, the "nothing goes wrong/gets delayed" estimate. But since no one lives in a perfect world, that estimate was probably bound to get pushed back.

Perhaps the Club should have gone with a longer, "more realistic" time frame. But everyone was really hoping they'd be in by now.

This really isn't a big deal. It's not like they haven't had delays before and they've always pulled through. It was pretty optimistic to expect them to do both 4.0 and 5.0 in 2016. These are still getting out faster than usual.

1.0 - June 2013
2.0 - June 2014
3.0 - May 2015
4.0 - April 2016
5.0 - February 2017 (?)

We'll probably have all of them by April, I'm fine with this.

I don't mind a bit of extra time to get money together for the other two payments. I really want these, particularly the Wreckage components (Wreckage is my new favorite combiner), and I'd rather get them late than not at all.

I just hope the shipments are split so that the wreckage components are together, and the Pretenders are together, (I just want the Wreckage ones). But I fear they will make them mixed assortments, which will make them harder to get on eBay etc...

The reason they don't is so that people dont just pay fir installments, get the first or second installment, then dissappearand leave FunPub on the hook for figures the person did not want. Even with this abridged version, I would bet someone else's money that theyvpair up the less popular figures eith the ones people want. And Toxitron is probably gonna be last.

1)A pretender and a deluxe
1)the oter pretender and a limb
3)Toxitron, whomever is left, and the bonus figure

Was the e-mail about the shipping delays sent to everyone who subscribed? I'm signed up but didn't get the e-mail and I'm wondering if I should be concerned . . .

It's been a while since we heard about these, but it looks as though the BotCon 2016 revealed Ninja Force Hologram Megatron figure is arriving in some collectors' hands! The images of the GI Joe vs Transformers crossover below are courtesy of Planet Iacon on Facebook, and show off the two modes of the translucent Decepticon leader (from G2!) using the Combiner Wars Warpath mold. Check them out!

Wasn't that mold Megatron before it was Warpath?

And thanks to fellow Seibertronian starfish, we have even more images of the TFCC GI Joe x Transformers Megatron G2 Hologram (from the Ninja Force set) AND of the MP Ratbat cassette redeco, too - as they have apparently arrived a fair while back, but everyone was distracted by other news! With thanks to starfish, check out the shared images below!

From what I can gather, this set has been sent out in batches, rather than in one fell swoop. I'm based in the U.K., and I think (for once) they sent the international packages out first!
