Several months ago we were informed (unofficially) that Part One Ltd, the company behind e-Hobby were going to start working with Fun Publication (The Transformers Collectors Club / Botcon) on some collaborative products for the US. Well now the official announcement has been made over on the e-Hobby news website we can le you know what we heard. At the time the talk was regarding possible exclusives for Botcon 2013. Whether this was helping them with toy design, packaging, prints could not be said, but I suspect it may be officially licensing the e-Hobby exclusives to the group and collaborating with Japanese sales.
We'd expect more news on this announcement over the coming months so stay tuned to the e-Hobby blog for more information
Hasbro have, unsuprisingly, posted their support for Fun Publications after the recent credit card issues. The official statement reads as follows
To the G.I. Joe and Transformers fan communities and Fun Publications customers,
Thank you for bringing your concern to our attention and for giving Hasbro the opportunity to respond to a matter that impacts its G.I. Joe and Transformers brands. Please know we take all consumer concerns very seriously and are in regular contact with Fun Publications (our licensee) about the possibility of a breach in security to their online purchasing system for the G.I. Joe and Transformers Collectors' Clubs. Fun Publications is also taking this matter very seriously and is diligently working at identifying any problems, the number of customers affected and ways to ensure it does not happen to any more customers. Hasbro wants consumers to have a positive experience at all touch points for its brands, including transactions with its licensees. As such, we are confident that Fun Publications has detailed instructions and pertinent information available for those consumers who believe they may have been targeted by credit theft via their portals.
Based on our extensive conversations with the Fun Publications team Hasbro wants to convey the following to the fan communities:
Fun Publications has assured us that they are taking necessary measures to curb additional issues, and they are working with third party experts to identify the problem. They anticipate knowing and communicating the cause of the breach as soon as possible to those affected.
-- They believe that the number of customers affected is low relative to the volume of sales transactions made.
-- However, if you believe fraudulent charges have been made to your credit card after making a purchase with any portals for the G.I. Joe or Transformers Collectors' Clubs, we urge you to contact Fun Publications immediately and provide them with the information requested at https://www.transformersclub.com/tccccinfo.cfm or GIJOECLUB.COM - The Official G.I. Joe Collectors' Club! by using the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of these pages.
-- Fun Publications can also be reached at the following number for additional consumer affairs inquiries relating to the G.I. Joe and Transformers Collectors' Clubs at (817) 448-9863 during regular business hours.
-- As more information becomes available, they will be contacting all affected customers who have notified them about the issue.
Thank you again to all of the fans of our Transformers and G.I. Joe brands for their continued support and for the opportunity to respond to this matter.
Sincerely,
Joe Moscone
on behalf of Hasbro, Inc.
It is a shame Fun Pubs ignored an email from us a few years back when we pointed out flaws in their security systems which we found whilst buying items.
Transformers Collectors Club Pre-Orders are now online!
2012 Over-Run (AKA Runabout) TCC exclusive (1 pc)
Member Price - $54
Non-Member Price - $94
OVER-RUN® tries to pass himself off as a suave connoisseur of fine things. It’s not a façade he can really maintain for long, less because of his generally low intelligence and more because his interest in beautiful objects starts and ends with “blow them up!” His drive to seem sophisticated is in direct conflict with his enthusiastic love of explosions and action. The former is almost always on the losing side of that battle. He’s not interested in the DECEPTICONS’® plans for conquest; he’s just with them because of the greater opportunities for his kind of fun. He’s always on the move, looking to create a bigger fireball, a larger bomb crater, and generally cram every microsecond with action!
Over-Run is a Deluxe sized figure featured in the Wings Universe and is Runamuck’s demolition partner. Over-Run utilizes one of the extremely popular “Classics” molds and features an all-new head sculpt by Dan Khanna and Paul Brooks. The toy is packed in a convention style box with a foam insert for easy removal and display.
Non-membership price ($40 domestic) includes 6 bi-monthly full color magazines and 2012 Free membership incentive figure (ships Spring 2012).
2012 Shattered Glass Drift TCC exclusive (1 pc)
Member Price - $49
Non-Member Price - $89
Even amongst the villainous hordes of the Evil AUTOBOTS ®, DRIFT is considered the most brutal. Laws and morality have no stay with him, only money and profit. And occasionally thrills. He’d blast his own batch initiators if he were paid for the job. Or if he thought it might be fun. Typically given free rein by the AUTOBOT ® leader, OPTIMUS PRIME ®, to complete his objectives, DRIFT’S methods of taking out his targets are only limited by his imagination. In other words, they are almost boundless. The mercenary relishes dreaming of new ways of taking out his marks, and logging them when he reboots in the morning. Regardless of the elaborate traps he might set, he always ensures that he is there at the final move, with his finger on the trigger or his hand on the blade. 


Drift is a Deluxe sized figure featured in the Shattered Glass Universe. This “Bot of Banter” utilizes one of the extremely popular “Classics” molds and comes with a selection of weapons. The toy is packed in a convention style box with a foam insert for easy removal and display
UPDATE: The Transformers Collectors Club store went down due to too many orders
The Transformers Collectors Club have revealed today that they have renamed Runabout as Over-run due to legal reasons. Here is a copy of their tweets on the subject.
"Runabout" reveal TODAY but before that want 2 give every1 a heads up. On the package he will NOT b called Runabout. Name was NOT available.
From a product standpoint we had to go with the name "Over-Run"... We could have searched out other names CLOSER to Runabout BUT that would have delayed us getting this guy to you all SOONER rather than later. Just all the way the schedule worked out.
Anyways, Over-Run AKA Runabout will be up later today at The Official Transformers Collectors' Club
The official Transformers Collectors Club homepage
has updated with the cover to issue 41 of the Transformers Collectors Club magazine. The cover is by Dan Khanna featuring the 2012 incentive toy Runamuck.
 The issue is also touted to feature an interview with Hasbro about next
months New York Comic-con, a chat with Dan Gilvezan - the voice of
Generation 1 Bumblebee, the first in a new article series from Jim
Sorenson, and includes a photoshopped image of Shattered Glass Drift
The Transformers Collectors Club have tweeted out the following announcement
"NEWS TIME! This November- Timelines Issue 6 hits newsstands. This 48
page offering will feature 16 page of Allspark Almanac Addendum content"
What will this content consist of? Well since the last Allspark Almanac was printed we have had more Japanese exclusive recolours, Transformers Animated: The Cool and, of course, this years Botcon set with the comic that featured more characters from the Transformers series.
The Allspark Almanacs were created by the "most excellent" Jim Sorenson and Bill Forster so you know that these additional pages are going to be awesome and contain lots of in-jokes and hidden messages.
The
Transformers Collectors Club have posted updates on Twitter and Facebook regarding the release of the delayed Sideburn exclusive figure. Here are the updates from the Social Media and Micro-blogging giants
Facebook:SIDEBURN will be shipping soon! They are in the U.S. now and have to
be processed for mailing. We will post updates as we progress. Thank
you for your patience!
Twitter:Side Burn's are OH SO CLOSE now... Finally in from customs. Just gotta
get em processed and shipped so hold on just a little bit longer!
If you use either of these two Social Networks, or indeed Google +, you can find Transformers At The Moon on all three. Just visit facebook.com/transformertoystwitter.com/transformertoys or search Google Plus for Transformers
The Transformers Collectors Club have sent out the following email update regarding this years San Deigo Comic-Con exclusives.
We have been getting a lot of questions about the Hasbro exclusives
for this year's Comic-Con and we want to let you know that we will not
be able to get any of the exclusives this year. Â
If you are interested in these items, you will either need to
attend Comic-Con or check Hasbro Toy Shop to see if there are any left
after the show. Â
Have a good summer!
