Which leads me to believe theres gonna be alot more leftovers than we thought there was gonna be. Sanctioned reviews are nothing more than glorified commercials.

I said "could be", not that they were
At any rate, the fact that Treadshot was sent out in advance right after Fisitron pretty much sealed his position as #3 in the lineup. Just saying

To be fair, the Treadshot & Chromedome reviews came out within a day of each other. The Club probably sent Peaugh and Optibotimus the figures at the same time. Who knows what order we'll get them in.
I just love the whole Arms Microns business, either way .

Hello,
Please note that all of the Domestic membership figures went in the mail May 30th. These go Standard Rate via the Post Office (Internationals go a different service and were mailed June 2nd). There is no tracking on any of these. Domestic can take up to 4 weeks and International can take up to 6 weeks. Please do not call our office or email and ask about these figures as there is nothing we can do to check on them. We will not be taking any issues on the figures until after July 2nd for Domestic and July 16th for International.
In addition, your close friend or neighbor may receive their figure before yours. Please don't think that they will all come to a particularly area at the same time. These are delivered by the Post Office and it is not always consistent in any one area.
Thanks for your patience, we know you are excited to get these!
Brian

Oh well, I'll just wait until the single figures are broken up and put up on sale.

So nothing to fear, really. Good for those who haven't gotten their figures yet!

As many have guessed, according to these images it looks like the SS2.0 mystery figure is none other than Eject.

As this is supposed to be a mystery figure whose identity is supposed to be unknown until the 6th figure ships...some people like to be surprised in the mail.
Posted by Tigertrack on July 10th, 2014 @ 7:46am CDT
The GI Joe SS reveals are treated this way as well... And that's when any new SS figure has first begun shipping, let alone for the extra freebie figure.
This figure is no surprise to most, once they know what it is...but still.

I have little to no interest in 3.0. 2 more figures on that seeker mold and another figure on the IDW bumble bee/goldfire/nightbeat mold create no interest for me.
Posted by Sabrblade on July 10th, 2014 @ 9:31am CDT
I can see the appeal of Krok for his Action Master homage, and people seem to like getting more Seekers. And Tarantulas is a popular character, despite the mold choice being a bit questionable. So it really only looks like Zap and Serpent O.R. might be the least-appealing ones to the masses.megatronus wrote:Midnight_Fox wrote:Optimizzy wrote:This was probably the best SSC set I've seen.

Though, for me personally, Serpent O.R. is the one I'm looking forward to the most since I loved the Devil's Due TF/G.I. Joe crossovers and the one Serpent O.R. appeared in was my favorite. And, holy cow! The SON OF MEGATRON is getting a toy!!!

I'm not as well versed in the fiction - which one/mold is Megatron's son?
The choices just seem a tad more obscure this time around, which is fine for some, but doesn't do much for me. I was very much ambivalent to their choices at first, especially more Seekers & Tarantulas, but I have warmed up to the other 3. If I do decide to subscribe this time around, I'll probably just sell the Seekers and keep the other 4, because they do look nice, even if, as you said Sabrblade, the choice of mold for Tarantulas is questionable. At least he comes with 2, count em 2, spiders.
Posted by Midnight_Fox on July 10th, 2014 @ 9:48am CDT
I really only wanted Treadshot from 2.0 and a little want for Barricade. I've already got a good Chromedome and Rewind and I couldn't care less for the rest of the figures.
Hell, the club could give us a Sub Service of nothing but Seekers and Con Actionmasters and I'd buy them all.

In the comics, SerpentOR had the memories from Megatron's disembodied head downloaded into him, so he went around proclaiming himself the son of Megs. kinda hokey, but then, he's never been right in the head...

Calling it right now, and someone please quote me when I suggest this, next year's mystery bonus will be post-mortem, Vok-empowered Tarantulus.

I actually would've been really happy had it been him. It would've, in the words of the Master Chief, "mix things up a little." Though if we didn't get you-know-who as this year's mystery bonus, then individuals would complain.

Should be sometime next month.

I'd wait another month, for the 3rd figure, which is Thrustinator, to be shipped.
Posted by Sabrblade on July 10th, 2014 @ 1:20pm CDT
I think Moonshot means the third 2.0 figure since we've only gotten Barricade and Fisitron so far.Mindmaster wrote:Moonshot wrote:Looks like people guessed correctly on the mystery figure. Shouldn't it be time for the 3rd TFSS figure to be out or past due? I'm ready to keep these rolling in
3.0 figures won't start shipping until next June-ish, based on previous years.

Yeah, I corrected myself. I massively facepalmed myself.
