JUST ANNOUNCED!!!
During the Transformers Collectors' Club panel today, it was announced that the Club will be rolling out a figure subscription service. Gallery can be found here.
Figure subscription service No price points yet Showed us all of the figures Way this will work: sign-up period that will last 3 or 4 weeks 2 options can pay in full or 3 installments Will be able to login and see every email pertaining to your subscription service Will be able to update your address so it will go to your new address Not sure if it will be 2 or 1 figure at a time
(Special thanks to Phil Searle from TF Expo out of Wichita, KS for the Scourge picture that I missed!)

This is a good idea. Please expand to regular retail figures for one-stop shopping.

What the heck? Unless they can drop the figure prices, who could afford to do this? Man, I really wanted an RTS RiD Scourge. Now I have to look for someone who can help me get one.

Scourge, Slipstream, and those seemingly random Action Masters seems interesting. Maybe I'll sign up and sell any that I don't want on eBay. Or maybe just to users on these forums that really want them.
Ultra Mammoth for the Lulz!
If I do sell the figures here, I won't do it for crazy jacked up prices like on eBay. I'll probably just take the price of the subscription and divide it by the total amount of figures released (i.e. if Subscription were $500, and there were six figures, I'd sell each for $84).
Just to let you guys know.

Well, that's a good thing I believe. More of an adult TF collector club. I would suppose they are trying to compete for our monies now.
Breakdonw, Slipstream, Animated Jackpot, and SCourge are all nice.
Ultra Mammoth, Circuit, not so much. Don't like the Axor head, and well, Big Convoy is a good mold, but not my collection cup of tea.

I actually think Ultra Mammoth is a hilariously awesome idea. I just don't collect Beasties.

Urgh, that Slipstream just does not cut it. It has no bustiness... just coz its slender and seems to have heels doesn't make it a worthy mould for Slipstream. Just looks... wrong . I hope we eventually do get a new mould for her, because that mould is PRIME Starscream, and thats it.

Of that bunch, Slipstream definitely might be worth checking out.
And "Ultra Mammoth"---that is so wonderfully cheeseball I don't know if I can resist.
Other than those two, though, pass.

So can someone please explain to be how this subscription service thing works?
Ultra Mammoth: Love, despite/because of the stupid name. This is one of those molds that I always very vaguely wanted but never found at a good price. Plus I love the ridiculousness of a cyan mammoth.
Also is anyone else super-excited that the club are still able to get ahold of Beast Era molds?
Jackpot/Circuit: While I love the idea of obscure characters getting their due I'm not a big fan of those molds, those colour schemes or the characters. A pass.
Slipstream: Not sure if want. I missed out on Starscream but I heard he's good. Don't think much of the character, Prime doesn't need another snarky, over-confident fembot.
Scourge: Bought on sight, obviously.
Breakdown: As much as I love the character I'm a little Breakdown fatigued what with the ROTF and all the Botcon figures. When are Botcon/TFCC gonna admit he's their mascot? Plus I hate that mold.

Ok cool I do we even know when these will be available and do we have to get every figure or just the ones we want I only want 3 of them and I'm sure we can buy more than 1 because I know someone who bought a couple of runabout but that's a little different I guess
