Transformers Collectors' Club BotCon 2016 Exclusives Now Available to Purchase Online

This looks like a really weird SS to go out on. I wouldn't have thought it'd have run its course, but based on this offering it may have.

I kinda wish I had the money to blow to get Unit-3 and Tigatron so that way I could have Magnaboss. And I wish I could get Predacus too. Both of those would be awesome things to own.

Guess I'm getting Unit-3 off eBay then. I'd be dubious about buying that Tigatron at retail price, let alone as an exclusive.

Something tells me that those guys will stick around for a while. $120 is a lot for two figures and seeing as a lot of people didn't seem to care for tigatron you'll have a good chance at getting him later.

Now all I need is Megatron and Airazor. I'm going to be shelling out big bucks for those two sadly

But I'm also not a club member, so there's that. and that 2-pack has the Magnaboss Sticker sheet as well.

Honestly if you're going to do that I'd just buy the two pack. All the unit-3 figures I've seen on eBay are selling for about the same price as the pair and even if you don't want tigatron you could just sell him and recoup some of the money spent.

I'm crushed that there are no customization class Ratchets to sell on the club store. Why are they even selling the sticker sheets for him? Did they not offer them to people who bought him at BotCon?

Didn't other 2 packs go for like $80 in the past? But Tigatron plus Unit 3 plus stickers is $120? So the sticker set costs another $40? Too steep for my tastes.

Also, I thought I remembered them saying everything would be sold individually this year. Am I crazy?

You could preorder him for non-attendees. They were very big on announcing he was a G1 bot and that you should preorder him or be sad forever.

It just sucks that they are selling the stickers separately, especially since they are needed. This isn't like the Primal figure with stickers for his surfboard.

I'd expect the price on eBay to become more realistic if I wait a while. 'Quirky' figures like that tend to even out a bit.

On the plus side, you could probably do something interesting with a spare First Aid.

Got my Reflector, huzzah!

But, I didn't want the Predacus set...so, yeah. That sucks.

At least there is that. I'm happy to have gotten my Reflector order in at least. Is it weird that $68 seems "reasonable" for a set of three identical Legends class figures?

so..in order to purchase form their site, you have to be a member, but they are not offering memberships.

No they didn't. Assembled class figures never came with sticker sheets. Only those who attended the classes got the stickers.

Nice. I'm glad they made that sticker sheet available for Ratchet. I wonder why they weren't available at the show...

You are correct. The figures were sold individually at the show this year. It looks like they paired them up for the club store though. Probably to ensure more product moves out of their warehouse. I believe they were $49 a piece at Botcon for figures like Tigatron and Unit-3 if I remember correctly.

I just got off the phone with Angie at FunPub (incidentally, she's been fantastic to work with in the past when I've needed assistance). If you're one of the club members like me who got caught in the window where your membership expired after March 16 (date when they cut off new/renewal memberships), their system is not ready to handle letting you in. I confirmed that we will have access to the store through the end of the club. They (FunPub) hope to have the system updated to allow those members access in a week or so. In the meantime, you'll have to call and place a phone order. Hope that helps!

That's just the way things were. Assembled class figures never came with stickers, as they were reserved only for those who attended the classes.

I dislike how they bundle everything together rather than buying individually. I don't need another program if I wanted to get the rubber ducky and I don't need another Tigertron and Unit-3 just to get the sticker sheet.
