Hologram Megs is a G2 Megs homage (as Megs's G2 body was built by Cobra in the G.I. Joe story that these Cobra humans were in), Double Pretender Megs is an unreleased G2 Combat Hero Megs homage. Both just happen to be tank-altmoded Megatrons.

I either forgot about that or never knew in the first place. Now it makes sense. Thank you.

To members of both clubs:

All Domestic free figures were mailed on 6/2/16. These items were sent via bulk mail service through the Post Office, which can take 3-4 weeks for delivery.

All International free figures were mailed on 6/24/16. These items were sent via bulk mail international service through FedX, which can take 6-8 weeks for delivery. These originally were supposed to go DHL and we had many issues with them so we had to switch to Fedex. Fedex transports the figures to your country and puts them in your country's mail system. We apologize for the delay.

If you do not receive your figure(s) by the end of July, please contact us at admin@funpubinc.com, and we will be happy to check on your figure.

These shipments do not have individual tracking numbers since they were sent via bulk mail services. If your item has to be re-routed for any reason this can make the delivery process even longer. If your item is returned to us due to an address change, you will be notified, and you will be responsible for the new shipping fee. If you had multiple memberships and multiple figures coming, these are not guaranteed to be delivered together. To be eligible for the 2016 free figure item you had to be an active member on or by 3/18/16.

Please do not contact our office until the end of July concerning these figures.

Thanks for your support! Have a great summer!

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,
