Transformers Collectors Club Lower Shipping Rates

Brian Savage of the Transformers Collectors Club sent out the following email to all members

"We have found another way to ship some product to our non-US customers at a lower cost and it has been implemented into the store. It is called Global Priority Mail. This service does have some limitations. The shipment must fit into a box that is no more than 36 inches by adding length+girth+height. Also, the order cannot be over
4 lbs.

For example a 1 lb package to the United Kingdom via surface mail is $24.25 and takes 4-6 weeks.

The same package via airmail is $16.75 and takes 7-10 days.
The same package via Global Priority is $10.50 and takes 4-6 days.
I know, it doesn't seem to make much sense but that's the USPS rates and delivry standards.

We hope that this lowers some of the foreign shipments costs. It won't work for all orders as the items are tool large or the order will be 100 heavy. We think it will work for the bulk of your orders. Make sure you check the store each week at transformersclub.com/shop to see what the new items in stock an the weekly specials!

Thanks for your support,

Brian"

More Information on the Transformer Fans Opinions Wanted, News Story

Becky has dropped by our message board once more to post an update on her thread about the ransformer Fans Opinions Wanted! Here's he new information

The exact locations are to be confirmed but probably south east (so sorry London again!) but also midlands which opens it up to a few others. Once i have exact locations and dates i'll let everyone know, its good to know that people are interested.

We had thought about that unfortunately the research will be taking place mid to late April and the Auto Assembly is not until June which is a shame as that would have been ideal!

Kiss Transformers Radio Show Info

Nevermore posted the following on several places such as The AllSpark and TFW2005

Okay, I refrained from reporting this until I got more details, so...

There appears to be a weird radio program that's going to start today. Title is "Transformer Kiss", and from what I could gather, the concept is that a girl kisses a Transformer which gives him special powers?

This was first reported in the Dengeki Hobby Magazine issue that was released two weeks ago, and more details can be found at Autobase Aichi in the news entry from yesterday (April 02).

Usually I wouldn't report this, but the title "Transformer Kiss" raises the question about a potential connection to the "Kiss Transformer Convoy x Melissa" listing we got last week.

Speaking of, it appears that last weeks listings, including "Transformer Atari" and Masterpiece Starscream, currently haven't been listed by Japanese stores yet.
