Nope. I'm buying all the Botcon figures because I always do. I don't regret any of them. Botcon is all my big love for the fandom all rolled up into one awesome weekend per year. Some thrid party stuff might have to fall by the wayside to free up funds. I get what I want eventually though.

True, but that's more about the experience and the event than it is the toys, right? I can certainly understand that. It's a chance to meet your friends from all over the world who share your interest in plastic crack and all things Transformers.

For those like me who do not attend such events, the figures themselves have to stand on their own which makes it much harder for them to be worth the price unless they're really something spectacular (which in my opinion, they generally aren't, but then again I'm also quite a picky bastard :P).

I normally don';t buy Botcon stuff anyway. I've bought a few items, but not many. Machine Wars... doesn't interest me. So I'll be passing there.
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.
