Yeah, I just read the new email before coming here. This is the first time FunPub has actually addressed the club's move directly. But it seems like they'll still be handling the Figure Subscription Service next year unless that counts as a 2016 project since you need a 2016 membership to buy them.

I'm still convinced that they're going to try to squeeze those in by the end of the year. Admittedly, they'll have to move pretty quickly after BotCon to make that happen.

There's a few reasons why that is unlikely:

1) They likely wouldn't be able to run a payment plan if they have to handle everything by the end of the year. And asking full payment would be too much for those on the 4.0 payment plan.

2) It'd be too close to the final 4.0 release. The first figure in a sub usually comes in the spring, it's hard to believe they'd have the resources to push out seven sub figures that fast.

3) If they were to do that then between two sets of sub figures, BotCon exclusives, the Membership figure, and store figures they'd be releasing more than two dozen figures in a year which would be exceptionally difficult for a company of Fun Pub's size to coordinate.

I think as long as they're getting people to sign up in 2016 and placing they're order with the factory they're being allowed to continue operating the sub. In reality this wouldn't be all that different from a store exclusive, just spread out over a year.

Also, a fiscal year is different from a regular year. FunPub's fiscal year could end in March or April, allowing time for all the shipments to be paid for FunPub's 2016 finances. However, FunPuh's licensing may have run out on the regular year. Finances are stupid that way.

I asked a couple of questions once I got that e-mail from them. Here's what I asked and their reply:

Question 1: I just got the e-mail about March 16th being the last day that you can join the Transformers Club. My membership is set to expire at the beginning of September. What do I need to do to make sure that I get the TCC magazine issues that come out after September?

Answer: As far as I know we should have the magazines that come out after September available for purchase at our online store.

Question 2: Since the club is undergoing some kind of change, is there still a collected volume 6 planned?

Answer: I don’t know yet if we are going to have any more collected editions.

The second question makes me wonder about the timing of things. I asked about collected edition 6 in mid-December and their answer was that it was planned but they didn't have a date yet. A few months later and they're not so sure.

So if you want to be sure to get all of the TCC issues you would have to sign up by March 16th if your subscription ends any time after March 16th but still during 2016, otherwise you run the risk of trying to buy them through the store which might not even exist.

Fantastic.

My subscription expires in April. Should I renew now?

Sweet baby Primus that face.

[Nemesis Maximo]

I haven't loved a BotCon figure this much since Rampage. I need to find some way to get my hands on this beauty.

[Deadput]

Sweet baby Primus that face.

Well it captures his spirit I guess.

The goofy grin absolutely makes that figure pop.

Also, poor Vivian.

[Noideaforaname]

Visible limbs in alt mode? That's not what I want in Terrorsaur!

That smile.

"He's a smirker! Mangle!"

Now I know why his name is Terrorsaur. Because his face is pure terror.

[SW's SilverHammer]

Man that's a really Good Filthy frank headsculpt

[Deadput]

Dat head sculpt tho.

[Robogeek1973]

Other than the painted mouth on the jet's nosecone I like it.

[Sabrblade]

This is unreal! We almost never hear about any con figures outside the boxed set before the con in an official capacity! First Transmetal 3 Megatron and now Terrorsaur! At this rate, there might not be that many surprises left.

As for that smirk, it is so smugly Starscreamish it's perfect!

[Zeedust]

Terrorsaur's face isn't great, but I can live with it.

Not that I expect to own the thing, it'll probably be too rare and too expensive on the secondary market.

Fantastic.

And doing so would mean paying fifty bucks for two magazines Ugh.

[YoungPrime]

It has a butterface!

Seriously the head looks goofy as hell.

Guess i have to be a BH fan or something to appreciate it.

Replace the head and I'd repurpose the mold as Redwing.

[Zeedust]

Is it just me, or is it somehow fitting that this guy shares a mold (well, half a mold) with the UW Starscream figure?
