Over the years BotCon has produced a variety of boxed sets. From gnarly paint jobs and confusing groupings, to some really awesome ideas and highly anticipated and sought after figures. So which is your favorite boxed set you either got, held, or just saw online or in person? Which surprised you or disappointed you? Which one do you still want really really REALLY bad? (Like, give your right arm bad) I'm asking about boxed sets only, not any of the add-ons, souvenirs, or attendee-only figures.

Personally, I've been to only 1 BotCon, last year. So I have very little actual experience with personally handling boxed sets, but I think the Animated Stunticons turned out really well. Now I just hope the 3rd party Menasor kit comes through...

Personally, my favourite has been the G2 Redux set. Pyro and Clench were great and the supporting figures were awesome too. They even found a way to giv us Sky-Byte and Sharkticons.

It was all done in a neat tied-up theme, whereas this year's seems to be a cobbled together, throw-randomness-together mess.

My favorite is also the 2011 Stunticons. Not because I have it and went to the con(I have select previous Botcon figures), but because I absolutely love the Animated figures and the idea of using the box to do an entire team was so brilliant.

Wings of Honor. Because it's the only one I have! :lol:

The G2 set looked impressive. I did snag G2 Breakdown and I do like him, especially thanks to his connection to past Botcons. Of the Wings set I really like Scourge. Still! If I had to do it all over again, I'd probably still get him. The color choices on him are fantastic.

The Pre-Beast Wars set also seemed great. That's probably their best. Not only for the toys themselves, but the concept really hit it out of the park.

Out of all the figures I've seen online that I didn't buy yet, I'd have to say I still want Deathsaurus. If I ever find him at a reasonable price (not likely).

No love for the 2005 one, aside from Deathsaurus? I rather like the fembots and Fallback in that set. Wish I could afford any set...

I only have the 2010, 2011 and soon to have 2012 sets but the Stunticon set was the most ingenius idea ever. Anxiously awaiting the G1 Uppers combiner add on but it's been forever since any new info has come out.

Love the G2 redux set for the nostalgia factor and use of mostly classics molds. The pre Beast Wars set is also great and I would love to have it but the price is too insane.

Dreadwind carries the set.

It's a tie for me between 2007 and 2010, both of which had all around great figures.

The best box set they've done is 2011 because it's entirely self contained. I just happen to dislike it.

I don't own any Botcon sets nor do i intend too except maybe The TFCC Pirannacon that does look awesome.

I did get the Botcon scourge though which is a really nice figure but... his paints comes off really easily are all the botcons like this? I was just asking.

I don't own any Botcon sets. The only one that ever interested me enough to consider a purchase was the Animated Stunticon set. Brilliant idea. From what I've seen in pictures, the figures turned out great.
