It's been reported that this year's Dairycon PreReg exclusive will be
called 'Domino'.

"As in previous years, there will be multiple exclusives", A Dairyon
spokesman was quoted as saying. "Normally, we keep these quiet until
the day of the show. This year, we thought we'd let you know early."

Why? Because as it turns out, this year's PreReg exclusive will be the
very last one produced. Those familiar with past Dairycon Exclusives
(such as FlatFoot, or Checkers) will want to complete their set.

As always, the Dairycon Pre-Reg Exclusive will be highly collectible,
produced in extremely limited quantities, and packaged in their unique
Dairycon-style packaging.

A high quality, limited edition collectible that's always completely
given out the day of the show, this item will never be produced again.
So don't miss out!

If you haven't yet Registered for Dairycon 2008, there's still an
opportunity:
