Gonna be more next year. It's been going up every year.

Ahh $340 sounds about right. and $20ish shipping I believe.
The price increase this year maybe from the "TRANSFORMERS FAN EXPERIENCE at Universal Studios." that this Years non-attendee package maybe helping to subsidize. We'll know for sure if next year's prices goes down or stay the sameish.

Not the first time it jumped about $30. It was $315 in 2011.

Then again, 2012 had 6 figures in it.

My body is ready.

My wallet is not.

My body doesn't care.

Bring it.

Lemme know how the exhilaration feels.

Might be cheaper to buy the box set on ebay...

Fellow Seibertron.com user Sabrblade has spotted a couple of tweets from the official BotCon Twitter account, showing some very brief comic appearances for this year's exclusives: Devcon and Fire Guts Ginrai. Check out the two images below!

And here is a quick little pic of Devcon

And another shot of Ginrai pic.twitter.com/FavKDje4Fp

Bring on the Registration, I'm ready!

You mean we're ready!

(I'm not actually going, but I'm ready to see more of these figures, at least!)

I do, in fact!

Somebody must sell these toys on Ebay because I need Devcon!

I doubt it. This seems like it's going to be one of the desirable sets thanks to Scorponok, Devcon, and Ginrai(who's a lot more popular than I expected). Probably Games of Deception popular($700 or so on eBay) more than Shattered Glass popular($1000+), though.

Scorponok alone will probably sell for half the cost of the set.

Yeah, buying Cannonball will be cheap. Ferak will be semi-cheap but don't forget the minicon/micron factor. The other three will destroy your wallet if you wait for secondary.

Looks like tomorrow:

Anyone remember what time it usually gets posted?

Hello Everyone!

We are still shooting for registration to go live this week. It won't be today so rest those refresh keys!

Please make sure you read the FAQs before we start registration!

See you in Pasadena!

Why the F*CK do they keep sending me this email? who the F*Ck is sitting there hitting refresh? they must think very little of Tranformers fans and think we must have nothing better to do. get real

Yeah, gotta jump on it right away to get into the tours and such as well. And with only 250 bagged sets this year, going to have to jump in quick to get any of those as well. I'm hoping it goes smoothly.

I've also gotta say, while it still isn't as good as "It will go live this day at this time", the fact that they're communicating this at all this time around is a huge improvement. Used to just come out of the blue.

David Willis?

No really, there is a race to get into the Customization Classes since those sell out quick.

Aren't they selling the bag sets at the cons too?

Only if they don't sell out beforehand. I think they're gonna sell out beforehand this time.

Also, there's fewer non-attendee sets, so I'm stalking to absolutely makes sure the Rod and I get ours. There's a lot of people looking to grab the non-attendee package from what it looks like.
