I'm headed as always! :D

Nothing beats meeting up with awesome folks, sharing awesome stories, and ending up with a bunch of rare toys on the side too.

Very excited for this years show, and not for the toys. Matter of fact I'm selling my set this year due to the high demand and I really find myself not liking Classics at all so this year I can really cash out :D

Really wish I was still going, but money became an issue and I had to cancel. Think it's going to be a great one this year. As for the figures, this year they look great but im really only interest in the seekers dont really care for the other ones ven though Alpha Trion does look pretty sweet.

Well Jetfire was oooooK I suppose, but non of them wow me like a lot of Cybertron did and the movie stuff does.

Plus if it means I could afford a G1 Overlord this year I would dump this set in a heartbeat.

I was wondering if the Botcon exclusives were going to go for retail after Botcon.I really want to get my hands on a Thundercraker,that would complete the first 3 Decpt Jets..Craps i can't make it down myself due to work issues.

Are these exclusives part of the classic line still?

Yes their part of the classics line. and no, they will not go to reatil, as they are Botcon Exclusives. you may find sets up on Ebay, but be prepared to pay a large amount for them.

I know what you mean...and we still have 7 or so weeks to go.

Normally I might wait till the Friday to pick up my stuff. But since I paid to see the movie, I need to pick up my stuff on Thursday since the movie's sometime Thursday evening too

And you know the pick up lines will be massive. Hopefully the people I'm in line with are good small talkers :D

The only thing from BotCon I usually can afford is the set or a couple of the toys (from pre-TFCC times). Could never manage to save up enough cash to get myself there. Besides, I'd probably go by my lonesome and that'd be boring as all heck (because of the trip and because I have zero friends that are as nuts about TFs that'd come with me.)

Still, the set this year is a great way to make up for it. :D Especially that Dreadwind and TC. And if anyone going wants to unload those pesky Elita-1 and Alpha Trion figs, PM me right away please. *nudge nudge, wink wink*

No one said there is an Elita-1 toy, don't jump to conclusions guys.

Bleh, Soundwave.ca, I may just be the sucker who BUYS your set. Must... have... seekers!

No one said there is an Elita-1 toy, don't jump to conclusions guys.

It's more than easy to do so, tho'. Especially with that comic cover that came out last week showing Elita-1 from Cybertron Thunderblast AND Hasbro trademarking the name shortly before that. Still, I guess you're right.

...Unless you've gotten some info about something and want to throw everybody off so you can grab all those BotCon Elita-1 toys for yourself for some unknown and twisted reason, hmm? (j/k :p)

I got my confirmation that the non-attendee set is mine. I really was unsure about shelling out that kind of money for the set, but those toys are pure love!

I'll be there! I've never been to BotCon before, so I'm kind of geeked.

I WANT that Alpha Trion something fierce. It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.

I had been debating it for a long time, and then I decided against it. Today, I found myself considering it again.

Better question... who is going, AND does not want the free attendee figure?

Anyone? Bueller?

Dont worry, you can put those protoforms next to whatever you want them to turn into and then get whatever transformer you want, right?
