I'ma say September's figure is going to be Krok due to MTMTE #35 coming out in the same month and focusing on the scavengers. If that's not the case, you guy's, it was totes changed to spite me (sarcasm).

So does that mean people paying via installments won't be charged for the third installment until next month?

There will be an email update coming up shortly. It will give details about the third installment including when they will start charging it.

Speaking of the email, here it is!

Hello Everyone,

This is going out to everyone who has ordered the TFSS 3.0. We hope that you are enjoying your first three figures. The fourth figure will begin shipping out later this month and we look forward to hearing what you think of him.

As you know, earlier this week we opened up pre-orders for the TFSS 4.0. We understand that there has been some concern in regard to the overlap in billing for anyone who wants to purchase the TFSS 4.0 and also selected the installment payment plan for the TFSS 3.0. To help alleviate potential payment conflicts, we have pushed back the final installment payment for the TFSS 3.0 to Sept 14th.

In addition, if you purchased the subscription by installment, please verify that your credit card information and billing/shipping address are correct in the system. After three failed attempts to bill, your FSS subscription will be cancelled and we know that everyone wants to be sure to receive the mystery 7th figure upon the final shipment. In addition, each credit card attempt has an additional admin processing fee added to it. So, for the installment purchases, please log in and check your credit card BEFORE Sept 14th.

In fact, why wait? It only takes a minute. Log in here to check your account. Click on "My Account" after you log in to edit any of your address and/or payment info.

Enjoy the rest of this Summer weather while you can!

Brian

I am glad that the simultaneous 3.0/4.0 payment issue is being addressed. Though I still think it could've been avoided in the first place, at least the concern voiced by myself and some others isn't being met with just a shrug of shoulders. I'm glad I now have the option, budgeting-wise, to swing both.

That Tarantulas looks amazing, even if he doesn't turn into a spider. :saint:

Awesome

My main decision will be: should those spider things be left as his drones, or should he have his claws?

choices, choices...

by **MisterNewUzer** » Fri Aug 28, 2015 4:16 pm

On the odd chance that anyone is more Classics minded than BW, I have a TFSS 1.0 Breakdown I could trade for Tarantulas. PM me, and if you need feedback I have plenty at TFW

Now we just have Krok, Starscream, and our mystery figure. Which is probably Nightracer, but I had this horrible nightmare where it was a neon orange legends megatron repaint that somehow rides on starscream's back.

Oh, so THAT's what those are. I gather they don't attach to the bike, huh? Are they entirely new pieces or retooled from something else?

Redecos of Ida, the Arms Micron that came with Airachnid.

she just wants B2-senpai to notice her.

News Credits: 1 · by **Bumblevivisector** » Sat Aug 29, 2015 12:04 am

So, refresh my memory, is the main break point on this mold the fingers snapping off if you actually have him hold his axe, like with the ROTF Bludgeon mold? Cuz I just put it in his right hand once, and already there are stress marks. I'm worried that even pegging in the Spiders will do further damage. Anyone advise removing and boiling the hands?

I'd better check on all my actual Wreck-Gar's and Junkheaps; I might've left some armed!

News Credits: 1 · by **durroth** » Sat Aug 29, 2015 2:19 am

The main break point on the mold is the handlebars snapping off because A)you manually transform them instead of auto-transforming them or B)they're too tight for even autotransforming. The hand stress marks are a known issue, but I've been searching and it seems like there aren't many reports of broken hands. The spiders seem to peg in without stressing the hands.

News Credits: 33 · by **TF_JW** » Sat Aug 29, 2015 4:07 am

Have there been any issues with the handle bars since they've done the remold after Wreck-Gar's initial release?

I think the general consensus is cut them off, it's the only way to be sure.

News Credits: 33 · by **TF_JW** » Sat Aug 29, 2015 4:27 am

Still? Hmm. The remold cut them down pretty far already.

I really can't think of anyone Junkheap and later who I had the same concerns as Wreck-Gar when converting them.

The same guy who was the first to have a mp star saber review on youtube (OptimusPrimeSG) put up a review of the new (takara) masterpiece bluestreak plus in the comments he said skmething taht could mean an another repaint of the figure

Website · by **Flux Convoy** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 6:06 pm

I have every version of the Wreck Gar mold. Multiples of all the domestics and Botcon versions. No issues or breakage with ANY of them. This figure is gorgeous. So happy to see that the Micron paint apps made it after all. I do wish they had the little transparent gem bits though. My only complaint.
