GI Joe and Transformers Club Free Membership Figure update

I thought there was an email about that last week.

Impactor or Bludgeon? I think Impactor to delay the combining as long as possible.

I've heard others say that the shipping methods they use have indicated that the next one may possibly be on its way.

Gonna have to disagree with you and say Bludgeon is next due to it being easier to ship the 7th figure with Impactor than it would with Bludgeon

due to delays at the manufacturer, these should arrive in time to ship around the end of the year. However, there has been a change in the process. These figures will be packed into only three shipments, 2 figures, 2 figures and the final 2 figures with the bonus figure.

This means that there will be an installment payment due in January and one in February. The billing dates will not be set until we know the shipment is on it's way here.

So I guess December, January, and February releases?

Yes, this would be a change from past practice.

Problem is if they ship them all at the end of the year there's nothing stopping people from using false payment information for the remaining installments. There's also no point in doing three shipments if they're all coming at the same time.

I don't disagree that it's a potential problem. I'm also not convinced that they're legally able to make shipments later. They've sounded pretty definitive in this matter in the past,

The "book style" packaging for the 5 figure GIJOE / TRANSFORMERS crossover set is VERY collector friendly. Once the front panel is opened, the clear sleeve slides off. Figures can be removed and replaced in the internal blister tray as desired for play or display.

Presumed dead when the Ark slammed back into the Earth, the mighty Megatron clandestinely worked to repair the crashed star cruiser. That is until a castle in Trans-Carpathia with a familiar conversion ability caught his attention. When Megatron approached the structure, he attempted to communicate with the castle as he believed it to be a fellow Decepticon. It was not! The Silent Castle was the covert base of operations for the terrorist group calling itself Cobra. Damaged from the Ark's crash and further damaged by the Silent Castle's defenses, Megatron reluctantly forged a deal with Cobra's supreme leader. Megatron would be rebuilt with a new body and alternate mode while Cobra Commander would gain access to Cybertronian technology. With the information and schematics Megatron had given Cobra scientists, Cobra Commander displayed a holographic blueprint of the Decepticon leader's new body. Megatron was impressed, but proceeded with caution. He could sense deception everywhere. He didn't trust Cobra Commander or Dr. Biggles-Jones, the scientist and weapons expert forced to develop Cobra's new rail gun, or the G.I. Joe defector Scarlett in Cobra's medical bay, or the secret Cobra experiment now waking in the basement laboratories of the Silent Castle...

However, not even Megtron was aware of a second set of Decepticon eyes that watched as the events unfolded. Cloaked in the dark corners of the base, Ratbat's interest had been drawn by rumors of Dr. Biggles-Jones' rail gun. As had the solitary investigators, Autobot Black Cat and Autobot Toaster, who had also infiltrated the Silent Castle hoping to determine how humans had acquired such advanced technology. Neither the Autobots nor the Ratbat had imagined that they'd set their eyes upon the returned Decepticon leader, rebuilt and badder than ever!

No, I agree, that was my understanding as well, but then why not just charge us in November and December instead? It's not like they can't charge the remaining installments first like they do the pay-in-full folks. I don't know, there's nothing normal going on with this subscription round.

I still wish me had gotten an Omega Doom from Cybertron Menasor.

We will still be filling TFSS 5.0 orders, selling licensed Transformers Club/Convention product and offering customer service in 2017, however our time as the official Transformers Collectors' Club ends tonight at midnight EST. Thank you all for you support over the last 12 years. Even though we will still be here, let's close this chapter with your first look at the artwork for Double Pretender Optimus Prime! (Art by Dan Khanna and Josh Perez.)

Merry Christmas!

Due to manufacturing delays, the container will not leave China until the middle of January. This means that your first shipment should depart here by the end of February. Because of the delays, we have combined the figures into three shipments. After the first shipment we will run the billing for the second installment. We will not schedule the two installment billings until we have the container in hand. I know you are all anxious to receive the final figures from the Transformers Collectors' Club.

Thanks for your patience.
