Yes, I get this on my MT BRZ. Has happened since I got it. Hoping it's not an issue...

Does it on my AT when I drive it hard and put it in park after coming to a stop. I place it in park and before I can turn the car off it does it. Weird, not sure what it is.

When you clutch in, wait a moment longer with stick in neutral before pushing shifter into 1st if you don't want to hear the clunk. This gives the input shaft a chance to spin down. In essence you're matching the input shaft to the tranny, which is at 0 rpm.

10 series built 06/13
Has over 2500 miles
Crickets started at around 800 miles
Still has them

I did notice that when my fuel light is on the crickets are REALLY FUCKING ANNOYING AND LOUD, but it goes away on colder days.

I always use 93 octane if I can.
Sometimes I use 92 (weird I know)

Bout my car in may, but it is technically a Dec 12 build date (If I remember correctly). At 3k miles I hear crickets. Other than that, no issues, whatsoever.

^What he said.

I noticed the 1st gear thud the first day of having my BRZ. Read other threads about this, and it was theorized as driveshaft synchronization. Suggestion, as root stated, was hold clutch in slightly longer. Did that and I no longer thuds shifting into first. Common on all FT86's.

Oh, and May 2013 build with no issues except loud crickets. Not a single rattle as others have complained about.

I sure hope they got all the first year bugs worked out, my 2014 is on it's way

Should be driving it in 2 weeks!

Congratz. It seems like most of the big issues have been quietly addressed by Toyota/Subaru in the later 2013 models. Your 2014 should be even better.

May 2013 mfg date purchased August 2,2013, 10 series FR-S, crickets began at exactly 2400 miles. Spent yesterday morning at the dealership and it wouldn't do it when they pulled it in 1 hour after I got there. It was quiet all day. This morning when it warmed up it came back with a vengeance. They told me when it happens again drive straight there and they'll get it in. The regional service rep told them that the problem was fixed. The service writer was standing right there when I pulled up and heard the noise. He told the rep that it has not been fixed on my car at manufacture, so the rep wants them to be absolutely sure it is the high pressure fuel pump. Then he will be in contact with Toyota America. I'm hoping to get it to them Saturday morning first thing.

October is in less than two weeks. This guy: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47252 says he is getting his 2014 today. They must be ahead of schedule.
