i wanna attend my first botcon!

I went from watching the Advanced Screaning of the Transformers, (that I won off The Edge) to driving to buffalo so I could fly to Boston and then drove to Rhode Island. If I can do it, you can too!

Hey Fender, I hope to hell I can get things straight with Paypal before the next Botcon

Ya know, I don't think I'd mind that. I've always wanted to go to the UK and some of you crazy Brits are a bit of all right

You say that this news was in the latest collectors' club publication?

Since I'm in Buffalo, that would be perfect. We drove to RI for this year's convention, and we really enjoyed it. I definitely would like an oppurtunity to go again.

BTW, isn't there a TF convention in Toronto every year?

Come on people...we all know where we would REALLY like it to be, and it's not because I live there (I live outside Chicago).

It would be the highest attended Botcon ever....if they held it...in HONOLULU! Come on people. We know we'd die if they held it there...it's a perfect spot in the Spring. SHOW ME DA BIKINIS!

oh and yea there is a convention in Toronto every year, Transformerscon, but its not nearly as big or even close to being as good and official like Botcon. If it were in NY or Michigan, I would definitely make the trip down there...heres hoping that its after my exams too

Suspect they are moving to allow them to have the conventions for Transformers and G.I.Joe six months apart, which would probably make FP's lives easier. Of course this schedule gets blown out the window with special events around movies but I digress.

It will be interesting to see the implications of this move on the organization of Transformerscon, which is typically held the last week of April around southern Ontario (Toronto, Hamilton). Will TCon be pushed back in recognition of the competition?

Yes there is. TransformersCon. It took place only a few months ago and this coming weekend is the Canadian Toy Expo which is run by the same good folks to run TransformersCon. [shameless plug]I'll have a booth there this weekend [/shameless plug]

No way, it was worth every penny. I had a great time and got to finally put a face to the many people I've met here on Seibertron.com

I just wish that Hasbro would support a fan club or convention for those of us that don't have the ridiculous amounts of money to spend on exclusive figures and trips across the country. I'm sure that I'm not the only die hard fan that can't live off of raman noodles and pb & j sandwhiches in order to pay for my hobby. My parents and I have probably spent thousands of dollars on transformers merchandise over the course of my entire life. i don't mind spending extra money on exclusive figures, but I have college to pay for on top of other payments to keep up with. Is the title of "hardcore fan" reserved for those with overabundant money to spend?

Wow, can't really say this is FP&C worthy with such little info.

But thanks anyway.

NYC? Bleagh, I wouldn't be able to afford that. And Toronto gets its own con every year, it doesn't need another one. :P

Niagara Falls would be great, we need the tourism... >.>

That, and they just finished this really spiffy new convention center right across from the Seneca Niagara Casino. Which isn't too far away from the border, so there'd be no shortage of things to do.

And on another note, I never knew there were so many Western New Yorkers that frequented these boards. Hoo-rah.
