Club provides update regarding Transformers Subscription Service 4.0

This post on the last page of the thread mentioned it being comparable to 3.0, so thanks to shipping/etc I'd budget yourself about $425, which assumes a minor increase in price from 3.0 (better to plan for more, right?)

Basically, about the same price as a Botcon set for more or less the same amount of figures. Makes sense to me.

Curse you and your reasonable maths!

I didn't realize how much 3.0 had jumped, actually. And was hoping for the sign up to open in September, not August. Oh well.

Thanks!

Can't wait for hi rez pictures of Bludgeon and the others.



Could we get alt mode pics too want to see how Impactor would work from the Rook mode.





If anyone here works for TCC or know anything about these sets could Impactor also get a Drill accessory instead of the clamp or are you/they limited to only making new heads?

Looks great, hope the price is closer to $300.

Do we know how frequently and how severe the qc issues are? I wouldn't necessarily bring it up, but I do remember that previous tfss figures have had some problems; most recently nacelles massive issue. I won't pay $300-400 for a combiner with qc issues that keep it from being a decent figure.

I hope the 7th one is either:

Crankcase from Swindle
Guzzle from Brawl
Quake from Brawl (with Targetmasters and new head) (I think Pete said no on this one..)
Ironfist from First Aid (new head)

Logically, the 7th figure will be a repaint of one of the others. Who knows, though...

If it's comparable to 3.0, then it was $297 + shipping + installment fees (if you choose to not pay the lump sum up front). I just got charge $117 for the 2nd installment of 3.0, so hopefully closer to $375 or less.

$300 would be a lot easier to swallow. Do you have to pay shipping on each piece? I haven't done a full subscription before, and I hadn't even considered that cost.

Shipping is included either in the up-front cost, or the installments. It's not an unreasonable shipping price domestically unless you pay for the better options. If you are out of country, well, you probably know what to expect.

Where they get you is a "transaction fee". If you pay the all at once, it hits you one time. If you do the installments, they hit for each installment. It's like an extra 8 bucks. Or it was. Using the above example, the $117 installment price is probbaly the $7 transaction fee, $10 shipping fee, $100 for the two figures.

Someone else asked about how m,uch Impactor was.

• Individvually, if yu break down the set price, about 55 or 60 bucks. A Voyager=2 deluxes in price, and we have the 7th figure, so you have 6 deluxes and a voyager or "8 deluxes", 400/"8"= $50 each.
• On BBTS, or another, $80 Definately the high price like Scourge and Slipstream were, cause it's Freakin' Impactor and leaving aside the close but no cigar FOC fig, this is the first IMpactor figure.
• On Ebay, IF he get's leaked, youy might be able to nab him for 55.

Thank you for that, I'm having difficulties finding the terms & conditions for 3.0. What I *can* say is that I've been hit with 2 transactions of $117 and expect a 3rd in August or September. That should be the end of it. So: 7 figures, shipping, and installment fees should total $351.

What "massive issue"? Neither of the two minor misassemblies were big enough deals to inhibit any of the figure's functionality and playability.

In-so-far as I know, it cannot be fixed without breaking the leg; also there is the whole 'paying ~$60 for a mis-assembled deluxe' thing. It may not seem massive, but what happens if something similar happens to bludgeon? You would then be unable to combine him theoretically.

It's rare that there comes a misassembly so severe as to ruin the figure on such a large scale, and in the off chance that such a case does occur it usually isn't a widespread case, instead being a isolated case or so, in which case the Club can replace one's "broken" figure if the problem is reported and taken care of quickly enough.
