Seriously, if it wasn't for BotCon, then there would not be these new figures. I would prefer to have a chance at buying these figures then to not have them at all. So to all the whiners, I am sorry these are exclusives, but it's better than nothing.

Err, no?
If they weren't exclusives Thundercracker and atleast one of the Conehead repaints would've almost certainly seen general release.

That's like saying if my uncle had tits he'd be my aunt.

Fact: BotCon got approval to continue a portion of the line for an event providing us with characters we would have never got.

Hasbro won't have to return to the Classics line after the movie's line is finished while at the same time it gives those of us who can attend BotCon a very highly desired set. Having sets of this nature should, in theory, help improve attendance and/or package sales for BotCon in the future. I don't think there's anything wrong with the BotCon folks doing something that is definitely in their best interests from a business perspective while giving giving fans a pretty damn cool convention exclusive that will definitely be worth some money down the road.

After all, the other way, I'd know the reason I didn't have the chance was because they didn't exist. This way, the reason I don't have a chance is because Hasbro deliberately decided to screw a large percentage of the fans.
The fact that this is becoming more and more common with the current fan club is really making me consider, quite seriously, giving up the fandom because it's beginning to take all the fun and enjoyment out of Transformers for me.

Whu? Selling a few hundred figures to a small amount of people makes better business sense than selling tens of thousands of figures to a global market?

I will be regeistering tonight for a primus package for me and a minicon package for my girl friend. Can't wait to see the rest of the staff at Botcon and all the rest of the Seibertronians who will be there.
I am really excited about the seeker set they are releasing for BotCon, and I can't wait till we get to see the images of these guys. It will be so cool to be able to have a full Seeker set (I agree that Sunstorm has to be the exclusive show up figure). And if you want these figures so damn much, then you either have to pay a crap load of money on Ebay or just buy the non attendance package. And for those of you who do not want to join the club (and then save money on the purchase) then that is your choice. All this negative stuff isn't going to do much. It is true that lots of people would pay money for these figures in the store, and there are lots of people who would spend the $$$ to get them by either going, or getting a set delivered. I am one of them.
