I got the May edition of Master Collector today (I have the first-class membership to the TF Club :redface). While there was no TF-specific insert with this addition, it did include an interesting flyer. The flyer included information about products that will be offered through the Transformersclub.com store. The following items were listed as IN STOCK:

 

Energon Outcast

Energon Scorponok

Energon Landquake

Alt Jeep redeco (Swindle)

Alt Windbreaker (yes, Windbreaker :tflaugh)

Alt Chevy Redeco (Battle Ravage)

Alt Mazda RX8 Race (Shockblast)

Alt Honda S2000 Decepticharge

...NO Wheeljack :(

 

 

The interesting part of the flyer was the information on the Pre-Orders. There were three dates/deadlines listed (May 2, June 2, and July6), after which each of the groups of products would be shipped. The approx. shipping dates were 6-12 weeks after each deadline date. Several Cybertron figures were listed for the May 2 deadline: Overhaul, Ransack, Scattorshot, Hot Shot Dirt Boss, Thundercracker, Landmine, Crumplezone, Vector Prime, Jetfire and Scourge. There was also a list that identified the retail shipping dates for these figures as May. This is the approximate dates BBTS lists for arrival for these figures.

 

The Cybertron Legends figures were also included in the list under the July 6 Pre-Order deadline, but not all had the same retail shipping schedules. Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream and Hot Shot were listed for June retail shipping. Jetfire, Evac, Scourge, and Leobreaker were listed as July retail shipping. I know that BBTS has an arrival date for the first wave sometime in August/Sept...

 

All the prices were similar to BBTS...Cybertron Scourge is $32, but this price included shipping (all prices include shipping). A 8-bot LoC set is $25...the first wave of the LoC figures are going for $20 at BBTS.

 

There was also a note that the price list is going on-line in May...

Interesting that you post this I head over to the TCC website to find that the store is now open!

Make sure you register!

 

It seems the prices are 'erradic' but are still within the range of other online stores.

I got my newsletter too and from what I could tell, shipping will be cheaper from the website. As soon as they have Shockblast and Wheeljack, I'm ordering!

I still giggle when I see "Windbreaker"....
