Tranformers Collectors' Club Subscription Service 5.0 Registration Now Open

In the next few weeks we will be offering an option for ANY past member of the Club to order the TFSS 5.0 as well. Stay tuned to TransformersClub.com for information on when that is available.

That's pretty cool!

This bonus 7th deluxe figure features a head sculpt not yet released at U.S. retail

U.S. retail, eh? So this means any unrevealed and Japan-only pretools are fair game. So these figures are strong contenders:

- Ghost Starscream
- Curse Armada Thrust
- Rook's alternate head
- Brawl's alternate head
- Trailbreaker's alternate head aka Hoist (if we're to believe FunPub's fiction)

Unless it isn't a CW Deluxe mold. As the 4.0 mystery figure is said to be a CW Deluxe, the 5.0 figure needn't have be one as well.

Since Wreckage only needs one more limb from either year... it's gonna be a long wait.

Sorry if this is stupid but where do you order? I don't see a link or anything.

It's not on the web page yet. Just in the e-mails.

EDIT: I had the link here, trying to be helpful, but a post elsewhere suggests that, if you use that, you might find yourself trying to buy a shipment to be mailed to MY address. So I took it down to be safe. Sorry.

No problem, I'll just keep my eyes open for the email. Thanks!

May is a huge month for large releases with UW Bruticus, Victorion, tfss 4.0, armada skywarp, TR probably seeing initial distribution, cyclonus set, and all immediately following Botcon. Great time to be a well bankrolled collector.

I wish there was an option to receive all 7 figures at the end of the service period. I don't need to be the first person to get the figures, but I woul like to save $30-$40 on shipping, which is over 10% of the entire subscription cost.

It's less than ideal, but it's all a race to get finished by December 31st at this point.

I completely understand that aspect.

It's just I've agreed with my wife on a budget for my spending on collecting so that I don't go overboard and I don't like having to ask if I can go over my budget.

Transformers Collectors' Club Figure Subscription Service V.5
The subscription service period has now expired.

I'm unable to order, so I've emailed TCC about it.

I'm getting the same error. Did they sell out their expectations in a day?

So, if you are like me, you were probably thrilled to see you received the email from Brian Savage at the much beloved Transformers Collector Club which stated the TFSS 5.0 order period was now open for active TCC members. Well, MAYBE it's just me, but when I go to try to log in to order, what do I get, but a nice screen telling me that the subscription period has now expired. Really?! I don't know the whole reason why Brian Savage and gang are not doing BOTCONs and any more TCC after this next go around, but this is probably a big reason. They cannot get simple things right like their web-based ordering service. Every year they had to change it and put out more and more excuses about why BOTCON registration was later and later. I know I am complaining, and it's unfortunate, too, because I really love the exclusive figures. I haven't figured out why they ever sold retail figures online when their selection was so crummy--you could just go to your local Target, Toys R Us, or Walmart and get a 1000% better selection on retail figures. But they were it for the BOTCON and TCC exclusives. Really a shame. I did the "I'll just shut up and please take my money!" bit for years, but now I can't even do that anymore. Brian, you made this so much harder than it had to be!

Let me hear your gripes and complaints!

P.S. I'm still waiting for my Universe 2.0 Voyager Class Tread Bolt figure I ordered from the TCC back in 2008 that I never received, but that Brian Savage himself PROMISED ME I would get.

Uh huh...sure.

I remember hearing quite often back in the day that people were having to flip their convention sets, to cover the cost of the trip and buy what they really wanted. That never really made sense to me but, there ya go.

Okay, I can't even log into the club period. I'm at the member's login screen. My email and password are in and I click 'go'. And nothing happens. What the hell is going on?
