Editing Transformers Figure Subscription Service

[[File:TCCSSlogo.jpg|right|thumb|400px|]]

In [[2012]], [[Fun Publications]] revealed the '''Transformers Figure Subscription Service'''. With this, a greater number and variety of [[exclusive]] toys from the [[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|''Timelines'' toyline]] could be made and sent out to members of the [[Transformers Collectors' Club]].


==Subscription details==
The Subscription Service is an optional add-on to Fan Club membership. Each year's lineup consists of six [[exclusive]] Transformers. As they are not part of a themed box set like [[BotCon]] toys, they can pull from a variety of universes and styles. Toys are shipped out one per month for six months, though the order the toys are shipped in is kept a secret.

Payment for each year can be made in one lump sum, or split into three smaller payments on a regular schedule. Obviously, missing a payment deadline means no more toys get shipped to the delinquent until things are caught up.

Any toys left over from each shipment are subsequently put up on the Fan Club's store (except for the 2014 "bonus" figure) for individual purchase by anyone with a Fan Club membership, though at a slightly higher price tag than the per-unit cost of the full subscription.

===Series 1.0 (2013)===

The initial year had some hiccups in its delivery. Meant to start shipping in early 2013, the toys did not actually get shipped from the factory until summer, under the mistaken notion that they were part of the [[BotCon 2013]] toy assortment. Thus, they ended up shipping in the latter half of the year.

For 2014, the Service changed things up quite a bit. First by offering a seventh "bonus" figure for subscribers that was ''not'' made available for individual purchase, and then by adding [[Mini-Con]] partners to three of the toys by making use of the [[Arms Micron]] molds that had previously not been available in the US.

==Notes==
* The Transformers Subscription Service was preceded a year earlier by a similar service for the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)|G.I. Joe]]'' Fan Club, also run by Fun Publications. That Service though has 12 toys a year, due to the much lower cost per figure to manufacture.
