There will be a thorough update/revision later this year when BotCon season hits. My general goal is for the article to continue growing/evolving, making it more informative each time, to help out all the BotCon virgins each year.

I remember when this threa dstarted ..Helped me out alot and made my first Botcon last year a total blast main reason why Im gonna try to go again this year. It is getting alost time isn't it? I mean were getting updates for auto assembly 2012 for pete's sake

what about Alan Oppenheimer?

If I go I would so have to bring a MOTU dvd along to get signed. Skeletor rules.

I hope I get to meet Alan Oppenheimer while I still can, he's not getting any younger, he is in his early 80's now

There's one thing I still don't get. So..... you need a registration package to get in at all, or you don't need one?

I just hope I can meet Alan Oppenheimer while he is still alive, he is in his 80's now.

Hey!

Quick question, are the boxed figures sealed in the box with tape etc.? Or is it simply a lid over a box with the figures in a foam insert? I want to know if I should get a Primus package and keep the boxed ones boxed, and the not sealed out for play and display.

All help is appreciated!

is Bot-Con sold out yet? or can I still get tickets?

If you register, you get in quicker, and get at least the boxset and Attendee figure if you ordered the right package. They do allow Walk-Ins as far as I know, but no perks for them.

If I remember correctly, though, Walk-Ins don't start until Saturday Morning. So if you want to do any of the Thursday or Friday stuff, including the dinner and sales floor you would need to register.

At least that's how it's been in the past. They should have a FAQ page up on Botcon.com site to double check if you'd like.

All of the Fun Pub Boxes to date (2005-2010) have come in Telescoping boxes to open and display or use figures, then put them back without destroying the packaging. So far, they haven't been sealed with tape, and the same will probably be the case this year.

You can also buy a "loose" set of figures without the box (but only if you've also bought a Boxed set). In a weird sort of twist, in recent years these have come in clear plastic bags that are sealed, making the "loose" sets the only version of the figures that are "sealed" in anything other than the display box.
