So, to make the next payment, is it automatic, or do I have to log into the website? Because right now, I can't log into it.

It's automatic, provided your payment information is the same now as when you signed up. It's only if you have to make changes that you need to log in.

Thanks. Although I'd still like to be able to log into the danged thing. Somewhat disconcerting. And I do wanna make sure my payment info's correct.

I"m able to log in just fine. I even logged out and back in again to check. If you're still having trouble, I suggest using their contact form.

Hopefully, it was just a temporary glitch. Such things happen.

I used it. Sometimes I know what I'm doing. But seriously, yeah. Just gotta wait for a response. I click the 'go' button at the members login page, but nothing happens.

If that's still the case (that is, it's not even giving you the opportunity to sign in), it sounds like a browser problem or something similar on your end, rather than something FunPub can even do anything about.

EDIT/UPDATE: Alternative theory. Is your membership current? If not, it may be that you fall under the known issues that the club is trying to work with regarding previous members or those whose memberships were set to expire after March 18th. You're supposed to still be allowed to order 5.0, but that's not live yet. Since all TFSS sets (including the current 4.0) use the same site, that could explain your current issues.

Okay, just got an email. Despite my payment info being up to date and the renewal supposed to be automatic, my membership expired. That kinda pisses me off, to be honest. Now I'm not even sure about the 4.0 lineup. And that's one I really want!

They'll work with you if they're able. Just be polite.

If the "automatic" renewal was after March 16th or so, it wasn't ever going to go through, nor was it supposed to. If it was supposed to be before then, they can probably still work something out, but I wonder at this not coming up before now.

I have been polite. I only bit off part of their heads. No, I really have been polite about it.

My renewal was supposed to be in April, yes. Gods, this is so confusing...

Confusing, perhaps, but at least now we know what's going on. We now know that you fall within a specific group that FunPub is already trying to take care of, but who aren't able to get in right at the moment. We now know that, although your problem isn't universal (my being able to log in without difficulty), you're not alone.

It sounds like you're doing exactly what you need to do, and this WILL get taken care of. Nothing left now but to wait.

[Zeedust]

Two things. First, has anyone else looked at Needlenose's instructions yet? The photo they show seems to have a new head that didn't get used on the actual figure.

Actually no it doesn't, there's just something wrong with me.

[Sabrblade]

Figure #2 of the 4.0 is shipping/arriving now.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

He's arrived! And he's Ruckus/Grabuge! I have always wanted an updated Ruckus, and now I have him!

So... my payment info's up to date. That means they'll simply charge me for the next round automatically, right?

[grimdragon2001]

just got mine to. he looks awesome

[D-Maximal_Primal]

my one comment on ruckus: I think they used two TFSS worth of paint budget on all that yellow. I feel like they should have scrimped a little on his backpack's underside for the sake of a painted axe blade.

That does seem to be a lot of paint. Ironic, given that this mold was supposed to have been designed for this character. Makes me wonder how Hasbro would have done it, without the paint capacity that FunPub typically enjoys.

What's with these dumb names? Z putty, Garbudge next thing you know, Bludgeon's going to come out with the name "youngbloodgen".

Names are changed when the original name no longer clears trademark, which can happen for any number of reasons. I can't fathom where "ZPutty" comes from, or why it's the least bit appropriate as a substitute, but at least "Grabuge" happens to be the name that Ruckus actually had in France, so it's already connected to this character, if not using the English word. They had a bit of fun with this reality in the Tech Spec (the word "ruckus" thrown in there, as well as the French phrase "nom de guerre").

With a name like that they'd have to add pouches all over the figure.

And have ridiculously tiny feet.

Is there one called "Do-Da"? 'cause that might explain it, but lead to another question.

[OptimalOptimus2]

Is this figure a part of a Combiner? Please don't mind me asking, I don't update myself with BotCon figures as much as I used to.

Would you mind explaining that one?

Part of a combiner, but not technically from Botcon.

It's a TFSS 4.0 figure, and all figures in this series combine as they all use CW molds. They are collectively known as the Mayhem Attack Squad, the Decepticon equivalent to the Wreckers from the Marvel comics (including the fact their roster constantly changes), and this iteration consists of:

- Needlenose with Sunbeam and Zputty (aka "Zigzag")
- Grabuge (aka "Ruckus", using the French-Canadian name, so it's not France French)
- Spinister with Singe and Hairsplitter
- Windsweeper
- Bludgeon

They combine into this fellow, designed after the most important character in the Marvel comics, Thunderwing:



Impactor (a retool of CW Rook) is the sixth figure in the set, and he'll part of the Combiner in the next series. The 7th Mystery figure will be a CW Deluxe as far as we know.

When does the 7th get revealed?

I see the helicopter mould is already in use but I wonder if it'll be rotorstorm. Ties in with lsotw in a funny way. I can't really picture it being anybody else.
