News Added rule: No posts about shipping status

(This has been used as a removal reason for some time; somehow I never noticed it wasn’t an actual subreddit rule!)

Please don’t post screenshots about toys that you just bought. Anyone can see the figures in the online store; we’d rather you waited to post pictures until you have them in hand!

Similarly, please don’t post screenshots of preorders that are starting to ship, or that are in transit to you. This isn’t useful information to other Redditors, because not every order is fulfilled at the same time, even those who ordered from the same store. They will be notified about their own orders by the store in their own time.

In short: Please only post pictures of Transformers that you have, not the ones you don’t have!

Exceptions may be made to this rule for unique products like HasLabs so that everyone knows they should update their shipping address and contact information.

You’re also still allowed to post “just arrived in stock” announcements as news, which is meaningfully different from saying that your personal order is shipping out.

News Hello! The Arbitrary Hero Team is kicking off our Extra Life 2025 Cincinnati Children's Hospital campaign, and we have some fun Transformers Prizes for donors! And to start, a free giveaway for Carnivac and Fisitron!

Hey Everyone! You may not remember, but for the past 6 years I've run a fundraiser for Cincinnati Children's Hospital, raising more than $25k total for Extra Life by raffling off a bunch of Transformers prizes.

This year we are once again planning a month long fundraising campaign for Cincinnati Children's Hospital, culminating in a marathon stream on November 8th!

Here is our announcement video with the giveaway: https://youtu.be/9bxOC-OZMNQ?si=1VlhgozZT8f99iDv

Here's the link to the extra life page with all the info: https://www.extra-life.org/participant/552358

For this campaign we currently have 8 prizes available so far!

Studio Series Devastator
Haslab RID201 Omega Prime
Studio Series Optimus Prime and Megatron
Age of the Primes Superion
Missing Link C-01 Optimus Prime
Studio Series 86 Dinobot Set
Combiner Wars Devastator

The instructions to sign up for the raffles are in the extra life page, but I figured it would be helpful to post them here. Up through the end of our livestream on November 8th, if you donate at least $10 (has to be non-anonymous so we can identify the entry) and include the message "Transformers Raffle" in the donation, then every $10 you donate will be counted as an entry for the raffle. During our livestream (on youtube and twitch) we will draw and announce the winners live.

For verification, here are the previous events we've done, along with past donors and winners. Please let me know if you have any questions!
