Listening now, thanks for the shout out. I just messed around with my figures the other night. They're all pretty nice. I fiddled around with the cloth headband and checked the little paper with it. Pretty fun fan made item. On top of that, it totally changes my perception of the figure. The set is nice. Even Prime, who does nothing in the story at all, is a great deco and toy. I still feel he's an entirely wasted figure slot though. I would have preferred to get SG Ironhide, Hound or really anyone else.

I think the boys did a good job of putting this year's Con into words.

My favorite memory from BotCon this year? The giant hotel room party we had in our room and this one quote from Christian/Flux Convoy.

ME: I can't believe security hasn't come to our room yet. There's even a baby 2 rooms down.

FLUX: STUPID BABY

Awesome podcast (in the middle of it now ).

Also, I just had to mention this. I have never and likely will never attend a Botcon or any other 'con' as I am very much NOT the socializing type (the word 'hermit' describes me perfectly) but you guys mentioned early on one of the sellers i.e. Tempting Toys so I did some Googling to see what they had since you mentioned getting a very hard to find Japanese Beast Wars figure (the show-accurate Terrorsaur).

I found the site and discovered he/they had one of the figures I've been needing to complete my BW repaints collection (aside from a few convention exclusives), namely the UK exclusive green 'Transmetal' Claw Jaw (I already have every other version, including the one that came with the 'Ikard' that comes with the Tako Tank playset). This completes all of the repaints for me I think (I already have ever version of the 2 Spittor molds, including Diver and the UK exclusive red 'Transmetal' version as well as RiD Slapper) so this made me very very happy.

Given that this seller seems to have quite a few such rare gems, I'm certain I'll be shopping there often.

Great episode guys! And the lengths was just fine. I like listening to Podcasts while I'm doing work around the house, and hate when they end earlier than my working

That sucks to hear you lost the laser arm to your custom toy Ryan. At the end of the day when I finished painting I was in a rush to get out of there I forgot my sticker sheet. At the end of the week I asked Shawn about it and he gave me a new sheet. I was not expecting that so perhaps if you contact him directly you can get a replacement part.

Even though the people working at the Hasbro booth and the Transformers Universe booth were super friendly, the dealer room this year IMHO was weak. I felt like there was no room to breath during the casino night/cocktail reception because they crammed everyone into a small space.

The reason why this year's Botcon was so much fun was because of a lot of our friends made it to Dallas this year. It was great to see many of you who I haven't seen since Orlando and as well those who I saw last year.
