Yep, according to Pete all the Botcon sets for this year are officially sold. So anyone who was waiting your out of luck. However I have no doubt we'll be seeing peoples bagged sets and the like hitting Ebay as soon as Botcon starts and people have them in hand.

Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

They actually sold out by a month and few days. I'd say that's pretty incredible. Not only that, but they made a higher production run then last year and that set didn't sell out.

If we ordered a box set near the deadline, will we be getting confirmation on whether or not ours is one of the 1,050? If not, we *should* be getting a voided check back from them, no?

I sent mine over about 10am today. Called and asked if I had gotten in for the set and was told that they were still processing paperwork and that if they were at the sell out number by the time they got to mine that I would be called with "other options".

I find this tidbit of news rather interesting. 
The defning outcry about it's expense was huge and yet the set is now sold out.
The bubbling anger of 3 out of the 6 popular seekers being in this set versus mass retail and yet the set is now sold out.
The huge cries of people saying I'm not going to throw away $300 on three seekers and yet this set is now sold out.
I wonder if anyone who spent their time being so angry are pissed for a different reason of now not being able to get the set. I guess in this case it's "you whine, you lose".

Holy crap. That didn't take long.
I ordered two sets with my Primus package that have thankfully been confirmed. I'm glad I did as interest among my mates has been lively, and I'm pretty sure the contents of both sets are now spoken for! I'd better get in quick for the on-the-day exclusives, too.

got my order in on Monday and it was confirmed Wednesday and now Friday they are officially sold out.
I haven't seen the others get sold out before so that's impressive, but then look at the amount of interest Botcon got this year as opposed to prior years.
Going to be very hard to find the other exclusives for non-attendees

It may be the cynic in me, but I kind of wish that one of the 3 Botcon Seekers was in the souvenier set instead of the box set. Then I could understand a legitimate complaint rather than the utter BS I've seen on other boards.

The only complaint I'm going to have is if they do not have enough of the souvenier sets for those that want them.
I swear, if I don't get my Alpha Trion...worlds will burn.

Better pray they have competent staff working this year then. They were suppose to punch our ID cards when we bought our souvenier sets. He forgot to punch mine, so I went back and got a second Megatron/Waspinator set for Prof. Smooth.
Not to mention, the same guy gave me the Lazerbeak/Buzzsaw set when I only bought the Megatron/Waspinator set for myself.

****!!!!!
I was just planning today on how I was going to be able to save up enough money to order that next week, & now this.
Crap.
Oh, & the best thing about it....since they're doing it in the set, there's no way in hell any of those other 3 seekers will ever see a retail shelf.
.....sorry, I'm just really bummed right now. The set was supposed to be a birthday present, even had a rather heated argument with my wife today about wether or not we could afford it, & after I finally get her talked into getting it, this happens.....

The insistence of those willing to pay $300 for 5 little figures that it would never have sold enough to justify a slightly larger limited specialty-market production run at a lower retail cost and yet this set is now sold out in less than 2 months.

I just hope they have sense enough to release the Thrust mold to the general public. Can't be as Thrust since it's a botcon exclusive, and I don't see them really doing it. I'd just really like it if they did.
My vote for the HOF goes to my favorite Transformer, Kup, to the Headmasters (who still need new figures that aren't just the characters without their master components) and to seibertron.com for for being the ultimate TF resource.
