The people of the BotCon Convention, to be held april 24th through 27th in Cincinnati, Ohio, have made the following statement through their news letter.

"Hello _______!

This is going out to all members:

Demand continues to outstrip supply for BotCon items and registrations! All of the free attending figures (Ricochet) have now been spoken for. Any dealers or attendees registrations received between April 1st and the event will not receive the free attending figure. Supplies are exhausted. Cut off for Pre-registration is April 10. After that date, you will need to come to Late Registration Friday morning at 9:30.

You can still come to the show under these options:

1) Primus Substitute which will include the 2005 BotCon Boxed SetDescent into Evil - at the reduced cost of $250 for Club members, $300 for non-members. (You will not receive the free attending figure.) Loose sets are also available for $130 for Club members and $165 for non-members.

2) Energon Package includes admission to all events (just like the Primus Package, including the Casino Night Awards Dinner) a convention badge, pin and comic/program (no toys). The Energon Package is $180 for Club members, $230 for non-members.

3) Protoform package which includes a convention badge, pin and comic/program and admission to everything except the the Casino Night Awards dinner (no toys). Cost is $120 for members and $170 for non members.

4) General Admission Saturday or Sunday $10 (each day) for Adults and $5 for Children (4 and & under are free). Tickets are available at the door.

Thank you, once again, for your support! We look forward to seeing you in Cincinnati!

Brian"

Considering how many complaints I've heard about the colors/molds/whatever, I'm lead to believe that this is just Hasbro severely underestimating the numbers of toys they'd need.

Or maybe they're just trying to increase the value by shortening supplies >_>;;
