Meh, I just can't see it as anything other than blue Rodimus.

Maybe next year.

i dont know if im going to bother, i really want sideburn but the price tag is way to high for a small pamphlet that you get every 2 months thats not even great, a pointless discount at their store(their prices suck) and a flat out repaint of a $10 figure that i can do myself. If it were a real magazine or if the price was around $25 or $30 then id be more inclined to subscribe but as i see it now its not worth it. Plus when i was a member a few years ago they totally screwed me over.

I joined the Club about a month ago and was under the impression that I'd be getting a magazine but haven't gotten it. Also where is G2 Ramjet?

People on the fence: JOIN. Get this figure now before Fansproject spits out an uber exclusive Water Scyther set and you all feel like jackasses for not getting. :grin:

Seriously though, the club really makes sense if you;re going to Botcon. The membership pays for itself.

I'm going to renew my membership in a couple days.

I can never say no to a new Sideburn figure. I still need to pick up Dion along with a crap ton of other exclusives. ugh.

I gotta agree with ya. It may look cool, but really a Roddy repaint?

I'm passing this year.

I joined the club to get G2 Ramjet and a discount IF I go to Botcon. This guy just looks cool. I have no idea who Sideburn is, but I like the colors. Is he a very late G1 character that most of missed cause we hit our teens ???

This is the original Sideburn:

I do think it is cute when people mistake RID for G1. Not saying you do, but I have seen it before. Youngin's

TFCC membership $40 + TFCC Sideburn $40? = $80+, I think I'll just settle for the eHobby crystal version which works out to be about $40... :grin:

You're doing the math wrong. It's only $40 TOTAL.

TFCC membership $40 + TFCC Sideburn $0 = $40

When is G2 Ramjet available?

I hope they make enough this time so we don't have a repeat of the Punch/Counterpunch fiasco from last year.

Am I the only person who's had enough of this mold? One Rodimus was plenty.

Dear Hasbro: No more Deluxe toys with a single hinge for elbows. It's not 1987.

Fansproject can't possibly make this thing cool enough to be worth $40.

I joined a couple of days ago. Not only am I looking forward to this figure, I'm going to BotCon this year, so the discount will be nice. It's my first year, though, so I am not sure what to expect, really...

...and you can never have enough Rodimus.
