Seibertron.com Energon Pub Forums

I am not sure I am sold on getting the box set. I love Transformers classic molds but the character choices and colors are flat so far.

Since I won't be doing BotCon I will treat this just like all the other TF lines like a gundam buffet. Take what I like/want and leave the rest. It will be interesting when BotCon does arrive what gets posted on ebay.

I couldn't resist some of the opportunities that come with the highest paid level so that I can do things easier at this year's BotCon. Every BotCon is a massive time crunch for me because of all that I have to do for Seibertron.com while I'm there. Hopefully getting a reserved seat at panels, getting to pick up my exclusives early and such will help make the trip a more relaxing time for me instead of it being four days of insanity while providing content and coverage for Seibertron.com.

I couldn't swing it. I understand there are only 75 of the Golden Primus packages available, you are now the second person I know who scored one. With my wife going, a Golden Primus, a Golden minicon, and the add ons would be put a little over $1000.00 before airfare, food, accommodations and let's not forget, Toy money! I had to pass. You will have some backup this year though, I know El-Duque and myself are bringing laptops. You might even get to relax a little on your vacation!

I wanna go so badly!!!!

UGH!!!

I hope I will be able to. Things have been really iffy nowadays.

^ This.

I did get my confirmation email for the regular Primus package though, so looks like you'll be seeing me there :3

I'll be back this year after missing last year like Savage. So looking forward to seeing the whole gang again this year. I miss you guys. I was able to get into the Wed custom class as well. Phew! Now lets get that Seibertron meet up going. You can put me and my GF down for attending already.

Did anybody pay $340 or did all you guys wind up paying $415 like I did ?

If I missed something to chose member price, where was it ?

I sent an e-mail to the "contact us" will they fix this ? The system wont let me go through the process again or even log out.

I would wait until after Monday. Monday morning the crew will come in and start processing orders. You will get a confirmation email (normally sent to the email address associated with your TFCC membership account) with a receipt and a confirmation printout. When that comes in, check and see. Once you receive that email, you can straight hit reply and send your Club info, and most likely get it reduced.

Hey Brian fixed my problem overnight. He is one cool dude, working overtime.

On the golden Primus Package:
The no limit to exclusives deal concerns me. Likley half of these 75 people are going to be online dealers, not real fans. I dont see a problem with people buying one extra figure to scalp, but I think Funpub should not encourage dealers to buy out half the stock before the rest of us get in line. If each one of these guys buys 5 extras of each exclusive, thats half the stock right there. You do the math. Botcon should offer vouchers to any regular Primus package holders who dont get at least one of each exclusive. This voucher could be redeemed online for a pre-oredered restock specifically for these people.

Unless I misread it, there is a limit to how many can be purchased.

According to the official Botcon website F.A.Q., Gold Primus packages include the option to buy triple the Primue limits. Basically, 3. 3 of each add-on, 3 extra loose sets. That's it. Even if all 75 Gold Primus packages are purchased by scalpers (no offense Ryan and Michael) and they all buy the max limit, that is only 225 of everything. Certainly Funpub has enough of each set to allow for this. In 2010, there were some sets still available Sunday, except for the Sharkitcons. However, I'm confident all Primus package holders will get atleast one of each add on if they desire. Atleast they better, or I'm bringing the wrath! Just kidding. Or am I?

As long as I get down on some SG Junkions Im good.. The rest I might actually pass on but those SG junkions will be mine( if they actually are the 3 pack) See yall in Big D!
