Transformers Club G2 Ramjet and TFA Cheetor now shipping

Do they send similar emails for the free membership figure (Breakdown)?
This is my first year as member and just know they said it would ship AFTER Botcon…

I got my shipping notification a couple days ago. It's possible it could show up at my door today...

Side burn is the free figure and I don't think so, I have never gotten one for the free figure.

Cheetor must not be shipping yet. I bought both and haven't recieved a shipping notice yet.

Oh God, why is it starting to appeal to me?!!
Is it because I'm getting Actionmaster Thundercracker?!

I didn't get a shipping confirmation for Dion last year, so I would say they will announce on their website when they have shipped out Sideburn. I didn't order Cheetor, just Ramjet. But also I did place my order about 30 minutes after they sent out the pre-order email. My SG Thundercracker will be here today, and I should get Ramjet early next week. Shipping from the club in Texas to Colorado is always fast.
Now I just have to wait until after TFCON and I will get Stronghold and SG Galvatron from a friend.

D'oh! yeah, Side Burn…
Thanks for the info!

Ohh, the '80s screamin' bright seekers are happening this year. Can't wait.

Just curious.

Is there anyone who has all the Classics seekers? That would mean the botcon and Japanese versions?

I'm thinking that should amount to 20 figures.

I think I've got the lot of them... including the Botcon set... even the KO Rainmakers, Sunstorm, etc. There's a LOOOOT of seekers now. Supposing I need to take a photo of them all in one place.

AWESOME! I just got a G2 Ramjet last week to go with this colorful spectacle! I can't wait. No shipping notice yet though....

No notice yet. I ordered Cheetor, though.

Cannot wait to get this.

Looking at this thread... Am I the ONLY person that wanted this and didn't get one?!

One fracking day! One miserable little day before they sold them all out! How, how, HOW?!

I wasn't home most of the day and didn't think to check my e-mail! If they made so damn few of these, then why didn't they force people to only take one per person? I waited nearly a week before I ordered my Punch/Counterpunch from them, and even then I only did that because of all the scalpers (some of which are among us IMO) that were hogging them! I still regret getting that damn thing before I saw the proper images of the head!

P/CP I've almost gotten over (almost) since this time they actually showed us the figures before they made us order them. But this, I will never get over. I'm a G2 kid, I wasn't able to make the G2 Botcon for lack of funds, I figured this would be some consolation, but no, it got sold away before I even realized it was there, and there was no re-ordering of stock. Fan-freaking-tastic.

Yeah, I'd prefer the collector's club would have a low cut off... like a couple. For resellers to swoop in and buy lots at a time isn't fair for collectors.

Hope you find one on eBay or such at a decent price!

check Crave.com in a week or so Vicalliose, the fair price voting method tends to keep sellers a little more in check than ebay.

Thanks for the tip. I've been meaning to check out Crave. Nice to hear there are some measures in place to keep it 'friendly'

Ive gotten some good deals there. The major difference from ebay is that the seller pays no extra fees. The buyer is charge a reasonable percentage of the total sale. That way, the seller does not have the overhead of auction fees. It's safe too, they have a fairly aggressive buyer protection system. I was hesitant but glad I joined up.

On topic, still no shipping notice, boo.

I was able to order both Ramjet and Cheetor, check my e-mail account (and bulk mail folder) but no word yet from OTFCC... but I can be patient.

Why don't you trade your P/CP for Ramjet then? Good chance someone would do it. Heck, I might even be willing and I already have P/CP!

I have all the Hasbro versions of the seekers (including both Starscreams) and the Henkie Ghost of Starscream. I don't have any con or club exclusives. I was too late to get to order G2 Ramjet ( ). Hopefully I'll still be able to get one elsewhere.

Does anyone have a clue as to when Sideburn and Cheetor will be shipped?

Yeah, most of the botcon seekers got made "redundant" really quick... which upset a lot of collectors. If you have the Generations version of Dirge, Thundercracker, Thrust... you're pretty good to go. I'd track down the G2 Ramjet and AM Thundercracker exclusives instead of the others. Those are really unique looking.

G2 Ramjet is just gorgeous in his coloring.... as much as AM Thundercracker is hideous, but that's the point. He's a nod to the crazy G2 bright colors... in fact, he's the pinnacle of it. I love him for that reason. Had to track down the old action master for that reason. He embodies that entire era in one ugly bot.

Just received an e-mail from the club:

"Cheetor and Ramjet are now shipping! BotCon Iacon orders will ship
when we are finished with the Cheetor and Ramjets."

Also, a list of left over Botcon items in stock at the store:

They have under 200 Cheetors left.

Still no word on Side Burn(shipping or otherwise).

For anyone else new to the TCC, be careful not to overlook this email, and check your junk folder. Mine was from "Shipping Dept Email" with the subject "Package Shipped to You‏". Very generic. I thought it was spam and came very close to deleting it.

I can't wait to get this guy! I joined the club just to get G2 Ramjet, and even joined Twitter just to get the alerts for the sale. After all that, I was very busy that day and was very lucky that a spare moment came along only an hour after the tweet. I barely even had enough free time to place the order. I would have been livid if I had missed it. So I totally feel for Vicalliose and others that did. Funpub definitely needs to work on a lot of things.

Mine probably got deleted, then. I just hit the delete Spam Folder button on Wednesday since it was overflowing with 200+ Spam from over the Botcon weekend...

Mine just showed up at the door...gotta say, he looks pretty sweet.

Just got my notice about Cheetor. For some reason, though, I'm worried about Sideburn, but I know I'm impatient..........

headsortails wrote:Just got my notice about Cheetor. For some reason, though, I'm worried about Sideburn, but I know I'm impatient..........

I don't think they're shipping out Sideburn quite yet, and it doesn't sound like you'll get an email when that one ships...at least not one specific to yours being shipped. I would guess they will Twart out and/or send an informal 'club figs are now shipping out' email.

While any "sane" person would see this as a decent idea (since apparently there were few G2 Ramjets made judging by the speedy sell out, so their worth could likely be equivalent), I do not.

Firstly, picking on that toy is part of my MO.
<Obvious.
Secondly, I get some sick satisfaction out of scowling at that thing every morning.

As you can see I'm one of those people who loves to complain.

still no email about cheetor or ramjet shipping. checked the store and its still showing expected shipping dates for that order, should i be concerned?

I was a bit concerned too, so I went to the source: Transformers Club Online Catalog. They must've recently added this message to the site:

"Ramjet and/or Cheetor orders are shipping NOW! Due to the massive amount of orders (6,000+), shipping will continue for the next two weeks. June 13-24, 2011"

So, I will continue to try being patient awaiting my e-mail confirmation of both figures being shipped and finally arriving to me. But with the previous statement that the Botcon Iacon packages (Animated Stunticons) won't be shipped until after the Club Exclusives get mailed... well, I think I'd better preoccupy my thoughts with other figures for a bit.

According to my tracking, Cheetor should be here today. Anyone get theirs(either figure) yet?

And, as an update, I got my shipping confirmation for both Cheetor and Ramjet this morning.

I'm three away (Henkei Starscream, Skywarp, and Ramjet).

I have Classics Starscream, U2.0 Starscream, Classics Skywarp, Classics Ramjet, BotCon Dirge, BotCon Thrust, BotCon Thundercracker, Gentei Dirge, Gentei Thrust, Henkei Thundercracker, Million Publishing Ghost Starscream, U2.0 Acid Storm, Generations Thrust, Generations Dirge (Bad Symbol), Generations Dirge (Correct Symbol), Generations Thundercracker, Actionmaster/SG Thundercracker, and a G2 Redux Ramjet on the way. I think that covers it.

I've got them all. Well, I'll have that Ramjet today or tomorrow...

Sometime around when Generations Thrust got released it became a game. So far, I'm winning.

And two days later, both have been delivered!!! I guess it helps the shipping time if package went from TX to LA.

Sideburn and Stunticons, I'll be waiting...

got mine and they should be here tuesday. cant wait
