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.
