Pre-Order Dates for TFCC Punch / Counterpunch and SG Cyclonus Nearing

Rated X wrote:Well to me the Cyclonus looks like an marvel crossovers iron man repaint. I dont understand what the term "shattered glass" means. Its not made out of clear plastic, so wheres the glass ??? And what is shattered ??? Wild repaints like that really dont encourage me to wanna buy a membership to the TFCC. I Think Counterpunch is a cool. I hope he ends up in Marshalls like Overkill and Drag Strip did last month. Ill buy him for sure.

Haha, Shattered Glass is the alternate Transformers Universe. Where Autobots are bad guys, and Decepticons are good guys. Thus this Cyclonus is channeling Rodimus colors.

Very bizzare, seems kind of like another way to juice money out of a mold. But interesting...

And TFCC issues Overkill and Drag Strip ended up in Marshalls across the country. I bought both of them for $ 9.99 each plus tax. Who's to say TFCC didnt strike a deal with Marshalls to sell their overstock on certain issues ???

Me, that's exactly what I'm telling you. It will never happen. You're also talking about Hasbro exclusives and club exclusives like they're the same thing. They aren't by any stretch. The club never releases anything outside their own means. Oh, and Shattered Glass was Botcon 2008s theme. Botcon figures and club figures are always repaints. Although some get new heads. Also, uh yeah I know about those. Notice that I posted in that thread?


Ok so here is the million dollar question:

Why do the pictures on this thread bear the same red and yellow logo titled "Hasbro Transformers Collectors Club" that is found on the Overkill and Drag Strip boxes ??? If these are not made by the same company then why do they share the same logo in the same writing with the same colors ???

MechHaven wrote:and all figures have that on the back, well at least most do. its to promote the club to get people to join, to let them know it exists

Rated X wrote:Thats true...ive seen the logo before on regular transformers in wal-mart. But there must be some kind of affiliation between them and Hasbro. Hasbro is about money and would not go around promoting a 3rd party just to be nice...

And as far as Overkill and DragStrip ending up in Marshalls, lets be honest...Those figures were never intended to be sold through retail. Something went wrong. Probally overstock or poor communuication between the factory and the mail order department. Im sure that pissed off alot of collecters but getting my hands on them through retail made me very happy.

There is a non-member preorder price, which is usually about double the member preorder price. Secondary resellers like RobotKingdom and BBTS also will pick up a few at a price between the club's member and non-member prices.

You'll have to move fast though as these'll sell like hotcakes.
