Correct, Hasbro has never retailed any Botcon figures. The leftovers are sold at the tfcc site. Stores like BBTS just sell their dealer allotment.

This would actually make a pretty good Botcon item. I think that is the only place we will ever see the unproduced Titanium and Alts.

Nice colour scheme, but that mold as a femcon? I think not! If people whinged about Override being a female in the US (and I think that mold really suited a female charecter) what on god's green earth would they have said to that?

For items that may never be produced at all... I think it's fair enough to tose them to the Botcon.
