Transformers Collector Club, is it worth it?

I've been asking myself this question for a while, and I see pros and cons alike with joining:

Pros wrote:
Exclusive info

Exclusive discounts at BotCon

Exclusive Transformers Toys

Exclusive magazine keeping me informed

There may be more I don't know about.

Cons wrote:
60 bundles of dough a year hurts

I would have to give out my address to WhoKnowsWho opening the door to possible spam mail

I already have a source for TF news

The discounts for BotCon wouldn't be that much, right?

There may be more I don't know about.


So, I ask you this, "Is it worth it?".

If you are going to Botcon or you want any of the exclusive figures, then it is worth it. Personally, I don't think it is.

I want to go to BotCon.

I want exclusive figures.

But I'm still not convinced, 60 smackuroons is a lot.

Really? That makes a huge difference! Do you still get the Figures?

Is it yearly with the $45?

As stated earlier, you can get the membership for 45 bucks a year. It is the same as the 60 dollar membership but you get your stuff third class mail.

I went with the 45 dollar one myself. Worth it for the figure, discounts and magazine IMHO.

First, the bare bones subscription is $40 not $45. What this gets you is the yearly free figure, 6 bi-monthly issues of the club magazine, discounts buying the exclusive figures, Botcon and buying from the club store. That's hardly an excessive amount of money for a year.

Wow! That is hardly what I pay for LEGO Universe! Oh yes, LEGO Universe...

Anywhoha, this seems like a great thing to join, I may get this, unfortunately, my brother is already wanting to get a subscription of $15 Bucks a month, so that would decrease my chances of getting the subscription. *UGH*

So right now, I would not get Sideburn or Cheetor? But only Ramjet?

If you subscribed now, you wouldn't get Sideburn, but you WOULD get the ability to buy Cheetor and Ramjet when they're ready.

I think so, especially for all the discounts you get as a member not to mention the free annual figure.

Wha? Isn't Ramjet the free figure this year?

Darn, I wanted Sideburn.

Which would be Ramjet, correct?

Yeah, that is true, all of the discounts... A fifty dollar thing for ten! YUEAGH!

No, you wouldn't get Ramjet for free. He is an exclusive only available for purchase through the club. Side Burn is the free figure for the year. If you were to buy a subscription now you would get next years figure for free. Whenever that hits. Probably next summer.

Oh, I thought that was the "Incentive" figure.

Well, that will give time to "Refill the reserves. :\
