Um, no. That's not quite how it works. With the 3 payment method, the first payment comes out right away. I believe the second one comes out right when the shipping should start, but the third won't be until a month or two after that.

Basically, your second and third payments are matched up to when the shipping cycle starts.

No you didn't.

I kinda did.

no you really didn't.

Err, did.

Didn't.

I did too. Only it was x 5 for me.

Well, not just for me. For me and a few others, but it greatly saved on our shipping costs by combining into one order.

6 figures I'm keeping
6 I'm selling to others

I thought it was dumb I had to order the membership separately. Then go onto the FSS site to order that. Not only that but they had the FSS site linked to the Transformers Club membership. So if you needed a membership it took you to the wrong site!
I chose the 3 payments. Anyway I used virtual credit card numbers only good for one transaction. That will protect me from any fraud. However if they try to auto charge me for the next installment they will have problems. Hopefully when the next payment comes they will let me know & I will again give them another virtual credit card number. They've lost my trust in letting them have my regular cc number.

I took the plunge but never received any kind of confirmation email that my order went through. I log in and see my order as placed but no email. Is this the same for everyone else?

I never got a confirmation email either. But the details are on the website for my account as well so I assume I'm all set.


Today's the deadline so hopefully the first pair of figures will ship really soon.

I think they are actually doing confirmation by hand and in batches. It was 3 days before I saw anything in email and I ordered the day they went up.

Nano-Bat and Big Boa are the only 2 that REALLY interest me, and that I'll seriously consider keeping.

I really wish there were an option for a loose set... Because of what these figures cost, and what they'll be "WORTH" I'm going to have a really hard time opening them... and I very well may scalp the whole set.

I agree. Once prices went up they should have asked the membership which they would prefer.
I'm curious to know how much savings I could have gotten by just getting a loose set. I'm sure shipping would have been a lot lower.
