Do they send similar emails for the free membership figure (Breakdown)?
This is my first year as member and just know they said it would ship AFTER Botcon…

I got my shipping notification a couple days ago. It's possible it could show up at my door today...

Side burn is the free figure and I don't think so, I have never gotten one for the free figure.

Cheetor must not be shipping yet. I bought both and haven't recieved a shipping notice yet.

Oh God, why is it starting to appeal to me?!!
Is it because I'm getting Actionmaster Thundercracker?! :BOOM:

I didn't get a shipping confirmation for Dion last year, so I would say they will announce on their website when they have shipped out Sideburn. I didn't order Cheetor, just Ramjet. But also I did place my order about 30 minutes after they sent out the pre-order email. My SG Thundercracker will be here today, and I should get Ramjet early next week. Shipping from the club in Texas to Colorado is always fast.
Now I just have to wait until after TFCON and I will get Stronghold and SG Galvatron from a friend.

D'oh! yeah, Side Burn…
Thanks for the info!

Ohh, the '80s screamin' bright seekers are happening this year. Can't wait.

by **RiddlerJ** » Fri Jun 10, 2011 11:12 am

Just curious.

Is there anyone who has all the Classics seekers? That would mean the botcon and Japanese versions?

I'm thinking that should amount to 20 figures.

by **gothsaurus** » Fri Jun 10, 2011 11:17 am

I think I've got the lot of them... including the Botcon set... even the KO Rainmakers, Sunstorm, etc. There's a LOOOOT of seekers now. Supposing I need to take a photo of them all in one place. :shock:

AWESOME! I just got a G2 Ramjet last week to go with this colorful spectacle! I can't wait. No shipping notice yet though....

News Credits: 3 · by **Midnight_Fox** » Fri Jun 10, 2011 11:51 am

No notice yet. I ordered Cheetor, though.

Cannot wait to get this.

by **Vicalliose** » Fri Jun 10, 2011 12:38 pm

Looking at this thread... Am I the ONLY person that wanted this and didn't get one?!

One fracking day! One miserable little day before they sold them all out! How, how, HOW?!

I wasn't home most of the day and didn't think to check my e-mail! If they made so damn few of these, then why didn't they force people to only take one per person? I waited nearly a week before I ordered my Punch/Counterpunch from them, and even then I only did that because of all the scalpers (some of which are among us IMO) that were hogging them! I still regret getting that damn thing before I saw the proper images of the head!

P/CP I've almost gotten over (almost) since this time they actually showed us the figures before they made us order them. But this, I will never get over. I'm a G2 kid, I wasn't able to make the G2 Botcon for lack of funds, I figured this would be some consolation, but no, it got sold away before I even realized it was there, and there was no re-ordering of stock. Fan-freaking-tastic.

by **gothsaurus** » Fri Jun 10, 2011 12:42 pm

Yeah, I'd prefer the collector's club would have a low cut off... like a couple. For resellers to swoop in and buy lots at a time isn't fair for collectors.

Hope you find one on eBay or such at a decent price!

News Credits: 187 · by **GetRightRobot** » Fri Jun 10, 2011 1:04 pm

check Crave.com in a week or so Vicalliose, the fair price voting method tends to keep sellers a little more in check than ebay.

by **gothsaurus** » Fri Jun 10, 2011 1:12 pm

Thanks for the tip. I've been meaning to check out Crave. Nice to hear there are some measures in place to keep it 'friendly'

Ive gotten some good deals there. The major difference from ebay is that the seller pays no extra fees. The buyer is charge a reasonable percentage of the total sale. That way, the seller does not have the overhead of auction fees. It's safe too, they have a fairly aggressive buyer protection system. I was hesitant but glad I joined up.

On topic, still no shipping notice, boo.

by **necr0blivion** » Fri Jun 10, 2011 1:46 pm

I was able to order both Ramjet and Cheetor, check my e-mail account (and bulk mail folder) but no word yet from OTFCC... but I can be patient.

Why don't you trade your P/CP for Ramjet then? Good chance someone would do it. Heck, I might even be willing and I already have P/CP!

I have all the Hasbro versions of the seekers (including both Starscreams) and the Henkie Ghost of Starscream. I don't have any con or club exclusives. I was too late to get to order G2 Ramjet ( :BANG_HEAD:

). Hopefully I'll still be able to get one elsewhere.

Does anyone have a clue as to when Sideburn and Cheetor will be shipped?

by **gothsaurus** » Fri Jun 10, 2011 2:20 pm

Yeah, most of the botcon seekers got made "redundant" really quick... which upset a lot of collectors. If you have the Generations version of Dirge, Thundercracker, Thrust... you're pretty good to go. I'd track down the G2 Ramjet and AM Thundercracker exclusives instead of the others. Those are really unique looking.

G2 Ramjet is just gorgeous in his coloring.... as much as AM Thundercracker is hideous, but that's the point. He's a nod to the crazy G2 bright colors... in fact, he's the pinnacle of it. I love him for that reason. Had to track down the old action master for that reason. He embodies that entire era in one ugly bot.

For anyone else new to the TCC, be careful not to overlook this email, and check your junk folder. Mine was from "Shipping Dept Email" with the subject "Package Shipped to You‏". Very generic. I thought it was spam and came very close to deleting it.

I can't wait to get this guy! I joined the club just to get G2 Ramjet, and even joined Twitter just to get the alerts for the sale. After all that, I was very busy that day and was very lucky that a spare moment came along only an hour after the tweet. I barely even had enough free time to place the order. I would have been livid if I had missed it. So I totally feel for Vicalliose and others that did. Funpub definitely needs to work on a lot of things.

Mine probably got deleted, then. I just hit the delete Spam Folder button on Wednesday since it was overflowing with 200+ Spam from over the Botcon weekend...
