Pete@Botcon has posted an interesting tidbit on the Transformers Collectors Club forums. At 8 PM, Eastern Time, Pete will be posting something as quoted to be "HUGE" exclusively on the Club Forums.

I'm going to guess and say it will be an image of the box art for the Botcon box set.

Hmm, Botcon set info or Seacons. :-? Either way, I think it is going to be something expensive. :grin:

Maybe news or pics of Classics 2.0 wave 1? They said that it would be mentioned at the end of January.

It will be something completely useless to anyone who doesn't already belong to the club, and doubt it will convince anyone who doesn't already belong to join the club. But hey I will be interested to find out what it is none the less.

Nice to see enthusiasm, but it won't be Fort Max. That's the question asked every year at Botcon, to which Brain says "No".

I'm guessing it will be just the names of the characters who will be the "cast" of this years Botcon story line.

While I understand and respect the decision to not copy the image that is given out at 8pm, it's counter-productive to business. No one is going to join the club just so that they can hear an announcement; however, some may join the club after they see what it is that the club will be selling.

So you're saying that anybody that isn't a member has no reason to see what's going on in the club? :? It seems to me that there are quite a few non-members who are at least interested in Botcon and pictures of the new Classic line.

It's a little "perk" of joining the club. You get to see something before everybody else.

I’m pretty sure it’s the Botcon set, there was actually a rumor yesterday of what figures would be in the set over at TFW2005.

Yes, expensive for sure. Either way it should be cool. I'm with the Seacons or Botcon info--I doubt they would have to go through the Club just to show off pictures of the new Universe figures.

Re: Something BIG to make debut on Club Forums Tonight @ 8 PM EST (612175)
Posted by Maldroth on January 23rd, 2008 @ 10:12am CST
considering the membership fee covers the free yearly figure, shipping of the figure, newsletters and the master collector newsletter, also is equivalent to the discount you receive on Botcon and other Club exclusives.

Not that big of a deal unless you are cheap.

Well those would be neato.

I think it's gonna be something Club related and not Botcon related.
Hopefully they let us order the club exclusives or at least give
us pics of the Nightbeat figure. I'm probably wrong.

1.) Seacons
2.) Botcon Sign Up files
3.) Introduction of Botcon Exclusives

Just guessing it's one or more of these three.

And the hype is so those who don't pay, want to pay. If they want to see it early, they need to pay. Otherwise all you get are our descriptions of it.

That page won't load up for me, so what are the rumored figures?

By the by, I don't think we're allowed to talk about the Club in any positive way, because it will upset non-Club members who could become Club members save for the ever-topical interjections of how the Club is a rip off. So in true American fashion, as a Club member I will not discuss something I enjoy so as not to offend those who don't for whatever reasons, many of which are because people simply don't want to. The free exchange of ideas here on Seibertron thrives on such shut-mouthed freedoms.

Ready for my banning.

My guess is the Seacons.
Or something Animated/Classics/Universe related.
Seems a tad too early for the BotCon set info.

...although BotCon comes in April this year iirc...so, it could be the set info.

But remember that Botcon itself is going to be early this year. So it is right about time we should be finding out about the Botcon set. But I still am pulling for Seacon info, just so that it is finally for real and in stone.

Betcha club members are going to be able to buy Animated toys, like, next month through the Club site.

That'll be hot sauce! Everyone will be angry and vent their hate in all directions.

Because let's face it. The "international" club isn't really viable for those outside of the US.

While I doubt it, I could very well see something along those lines happening, couldn’t you see the crybabies whining “those scalpers joined the club bought the animated toys and then resold them for eighty a piece on eBay! I had to buy one but they stole all my cash on a toy I can get for ten bucks in a month, isn’t that horrible!”.

Well, its two minutes until the announcement, I hope you guys are as excited as I am and refreshing the club page as much as I am. There’s a number of things I think it could be, now only time will tell, but some possibilities are:

A: The Botcon set.
B: Early release of classics and animated.
C: Something I didn’t think of as of this post.

It's too bad you don't like the Astrotrain. I like mine fine.
When I opened the box for the first time it was like that new car scent, no kidding. The packaging is unlike any other package
I've gotten a toy in. It's a collectible in itself.

So it was also stated they are trying to work out deals to
get exclusive first photos on the official site before
any of the other sites more often.
I know people can wait and it's not that big a deal for some
but others are willing to pay the price. It is, believe it or not,
a form of entertainment.
I gotta say I shared your sentiments about joining the club, but eventually broke down. It's worth it.
I get an exclusive comic/story, exclusive interviews, a free toy, a fun forum that gives us real exclusive photos, a free listing every month in a collectors mag that will let me sell things, discounts.. man you don't know what you are missing.

I love my Transformers and if I have to buy in to a 'club'
to get some perks then so be it.

Not to have to pay bi-monthly for the other useless magazine. Not to have to pay those insane international transport price. A clzb stoe site actually capable of giving me a quote for the shipping costs instead of throwing an error.
