I'll have to step off this. No way I can afford expensive toys if I want a holiday this summer. Getting out and about is the priority over plastic robots. I shall instead plot to steal Andu's.

Well if Burns doesn't want the Pretenders I'll take a complete set to keep the numbers easy. That then means: | Op | Megatron | Lifeline
(Paradon Medic) | Counterpunch | Toxitron | Fractyl | Scorponok | | 1 | Phil | Phil | Phil | Phil | Phil | Phil | Phil | | 2 | Browny87 | Browny87 | Browny87 | Browny87 | Browny87 | Browny87 | Browny87 | | 3 | Jim | Jim | Jim | Jim | Jim | Jim | Jim | | 4 | Andu | Andu | Big Bazza | | Jetty? | Jetty | Jetty | | 5 | Dezzeh | Dezzeh | | | Dezzeh | | |

You could put me for Lifeline.
Lord help me, I'm starting to feel like I'd regret missing her.

Since no one's talking prices yet, how about this?
£48/$70- toxitron, optimus, megatron, fractyl/scorp
£34/$50- lifeline, counterpunch
£27/$40- mystery figure
That adds up to £287, or $420 USD.
So at £260/$380 without the bonus, that's around the same price as the subscription. I don't know how much it costs this year, honestly, but that's the general ballpark.
I put the bonus figure as lower than the two deluxes because I figure you're buying it blind.

I genuinely thought that FP announced they have a hard cut off deadline given from Hasbro in about a month, and preorders would be open for four weeks, assuming they can get their shit together. But I cannot find this anywhere on the boards.

For all 7 figures? That seems cheap.
All at once or instalments?

Current runners and riders: | Op | Megatron | Lifeline
(Paradon Medic) | Counterpunch | Toxitron | Fractyl | Scorponok | | 1 | Phil | Phil | Phil | Phil | Phil | Phil | Phil | | 2 | Browny87 | Browny87 | Browny87 | Browny87 | Browny87 | Browny87 | Browny87 | | 3 | Jim | Jim | Jim | Jim | Jim | Jim | Jim | | 4 | Andu | Andu | Jetty | | Jetty? | Jetty | Jetty | | 5 | Dezzeh | Dezzeh | Dezzeh | Dezzeh | Dezzeh | Dezzeh | Dezzeh | | 6 | | | Big Bazza | | | | |
I'm willing to pass on the Parradon Medic if Bazza still wants one to make the numbers easier. Which would mean 5 whole sets with just one spare toy. People, check the table looks accurate for you please! |

I wonder why they dont give a 6-month or whatever membership option, at least while offering this set. Seems like it's throwing away easy money!!

So FP put it up last night only for it to not work or quickly be taken down and then presumably be put back up.
It's really like they are trying to give us all one last chance to experience all of their greatest hits.

For payments if everyone else can pay in full I can probably do so too depending on when the deadline is. But installments are probably a better bet for me at least. The exchange rate fluctuations are a problem, but if FP some how implode in the last 7 months, which lets face it isnt entirely impossible, I'll be happier that they dont have all my money. Plus exchange rate may go our way as the world contemplate President Trump.

Post by Bogatan on Apr 30, 2016 17:30:58 GMT
Hopefully it'll be up till after they take installment 2 of TFSS 4.0 to minimise the overlap. Either way I'll hold of ordering as long as possible to give anyone on the fence time to decide.

I'm going to need to pay in instalments, how much do you want up front for what's effectively a full set?

If it makes you feel better, remember Hasbro bailed everyone out with Sentinel Maximus when 3H failed to get it out |
