You know, in thinking about it, I realized how many people may be completely unprepared to deal with Florida heat.

If you're traveling outside the convention with your family, do not underestimate the sun and how badly you can get burned in short order. Especially your little ones should you be planning to hit up Disney and such.

Hit the sunscreen and hit it hard.

Yes, you all laughed at me for being cold in Rhode Island in 07. Vengeance shall be mine!

I lived in FLA for 12 years i agree with this 100%.. It can and will be hotter than hades this time of year..I suggest everybody hop on the Beeline( bring your toll money ) and it up cocoa beach..The water is bootiful this time of year!@

Also I have a quick gripe/question.. has it always been this way where the people registered for the Customizing class get to pick up their stuff a day early and everybody else ? Thats like..weaksauce...

Yep, as far as I know. This is because the first customizing class is on Wednesday. So the people who are attending it need their ID badges in order to get in.

That makes sense ..man that makes getting into the custo class even more exclusive...I might try next year..

Another thing that has me wondering..Will online dealers such as Tf source and BBTs have their own exclusives at the show? I see stuff on their sites and it states that certain items are Site exclusives..Possibly any to be had at the con?

TFSource and BBTS will both be present at BotCon in the Sales Room. There you will be able to buy from them like any other store. They usually have a pretty expansive inventory. To my knowledge, BBTS has never had an exclusive figure, at least not a TransFormer. They do occasionally offer exclusive deals, perhaps that is what you're referring to?

Soo... expecting the highest pricing for the Primus Package and 3 Souveneirs, and some leftover for the sales room, how much should money should I save up? 700-1000$? Too much? Also for admission, If its 1 person who wants the boxset but 2 who dont but want admission to the entire con, how do the classes and pricing go for, if you know what I mean?

Question about the Souvenir sets. I was wanting to head down to Botcon just for one day though because I'm mainly in florida helping family but I'm really close and I thought I would stop by for a day just to check it out. Anyway I was wanting to try and pick up Gnaw if he comes in a set of three. How would I go about doing this I mean like do I need anything to be able to pick them up, do I have to pay anything to get into the convention to go to the club store, and what time are they available tomorrow night?

This is a pretty good guide, but as a non US person there nothing that is helpful specifically for us. Just a suggestion, thanks

Srsly folks, best part of Botcon will be the friends you make. There is almost NEVER a shortage of conversation with anyone. We all speak geek, and weather opinions are same or different, it's just good to be with a group of people that know exactly what your are talking about regarding video games, movies, comic books, transformers, other toys. Only time of year when I can let my full inner geek out, and not just my TF geek side! I'm looking forward to meeting up with old friends and making new ones!

This is one of the main reasons I really wanna go next year. At least I'll find someone to chat with when waiting in the "God" aka Peter Cullen meet and sign line. Anyone want a Aussie girl as a friend?
