Botcon 2006: Customizing Class

Postby TFLobo » Mon Jul 31, 2006 11:29 am

There's been an update on the customizing class.

Apparently you'll get 2 Scrapmetal toys and 2 different heads to repaint.

Kinda wish I signed up for it now. :(

I wonder how many people in the class are actually going to make both figures? While it'd be nice to have extra customizing class con exclusives, I've noticed a few people on the official boards are more interested in keeping their parts sprued. Shawn is even telling people they don't have to make both figures if they choose to keep half the sprue unused. This could end up making a completed Rumble and Inferno set the rarest Botcon exclusives ever!

I bet they won't! Brian wrote this over at the club boards back on May 16th:

Brian Savage wrote:Now the one thing you will have to promise, is that you won't sell these items online. We don't want to drive people crazy that figures like this exist or we might not ever be able to do the class again. If a ruckus gets raised, Hasbro might not provide us these special items in the future.

So just put them in your personal collection case. This is not designed to fund your trip.


If any do get sold online and Hasbro discontinues this aspect of the convention, I'd bet that ebay seller would become the most hated person in the fandom.

That's pretty messed up. I'd still guess that if anything gets auctioned it'll probably be the sprues instead of the completed figures. The untouched parts on sprues are way more sexy exciting to most people. And if that happens I guarentee Hasbro will shut the customizing class down.

Hasbro had already stated they would if the sprues showed up. To easy for the knock off companies to copy there stuff or something like that. I forgot to renew my membership so i can't check where on the boards that statement is.

I would've signed up, but due to changing jobs ( upgrade :) ) I had no vacation time to take for the con. Instead, I only get Friday off without pay. The two classes are on Wednesday and Thursday. I can't afford to take off two days without pay. :(
