This doesn't seem to have made it around to the other boards, so I wanted to drop in and make sure everyone knew about this, as slots for the class are very limited, and the total number of kits produced will be limited to 100.

Captured Prey is pleased to present, in association with Encline Designs, a third party custom class, with figures produced by Mech Ideas! The class will he held June 27th, 2013 in San Diego, California, in the PG Room of the Best Western Seven Seas. Encline, a well known customizer in the fan community who does excellent work, will be instructing the class. Attendee seats are limited to a maximum of 65. Non-attendee sets are currently sold out, but will be available again if there are attendee seats unclaimed after a while.

Each attendee custom kit includes the following!
• Two unique, deluxe-scale figures, produced JUST for this class by Mech Ideas! Only 100 sets produced!
• Two custom heads, designed and produced specially for the figures!
• FREE Bonus Mech Ideas iPhone 4/4s case!
• Includes all necessary paints for the project!
• Includes brushes and basic tools!
• Drinks are provided for each attendee!
• Detailed, in-person instruction by exceptional customizer and artist Encline!

Each non-attendee kit includes the same parts, but with an instructional DVD by Encline replacing the class time (of course) and the drinks. The Best Western is a quarter-mile or less walk from the venue of "the big event" (ahem), even if you're starting on the far north side.

Im all in. This sounds like a far better deal than the Botcon class.

You'd think the non-attendee sets would have been beefed up to help offset costs. I would love to have gotten a non-attendee set should funds allow.

Shame it seems the non-attending sets have sold out.

As noted, they're out right now, however, if it becomes necessary we can rejigger the numbers down the line, so we may make some more sets available to non-attendees.

Im really happy I got in on this. I have a feeling this sets gonna kick ass. Id rather do this than sit at a computer hitting refresh for 3 hours trying to get in the Botcon custom class. I have a life.

I could be wrong but here is my deduction:

* Mech Ideas only has 2 figures (upcoming Jumpstarters molds)

* 2 figures with bonus heads

* Banner shows a panther and some wings

* Sounds like classics Pounce and Wingspan (If Im wrong dont shoot me)

Seriously? People paid $150 for non attendee sets without having a clue about what the figures are?/look like?

All the clues you need are already there, so I don't know that you would really say that they don;t have any idea what they are

Out of curiosity, is there a waiting list we can get on should the non-attendee sets pop back up? I'd like to try something like this.

Prepare for tons of fan backlash. Doing the clones (Autobot or Decepticon) is nearly as bad (maybe worse) as the TFCC doing Punch/Counterpunch as an exclusive.

Of course many collectors aren't going to want to have to paint/customize to get the clones, and they'll likely want both Autobots and Decepticons.
