How do the exclusives work at Botcon?

Postby Geekee1 » Thu Mar 08, 2007 9:39 pm

I'm thinking about going to Botcon this year, but I'll only be able to make it for a day or two. I was wondering how the exclusives are sold there. Is everything available on the first day, or do they spread it out? Do you need to be there super early to get in line to buy them, or do supplies last for a little while? And also what is the average cost of them?

Thanks

If you pre register you reserve and pay ahead for the main Exclusives sets. For the two or three additional figures they have each year you have to get there early and get in a line to buy them. With this being the third year of doing this version of Botcon, and it being the movie year, hopefully they'll have a larger number of the exclusives then the last two years.

The extra guys from the 2005 and 2006 Botcons go for big money now. I still want that ratchet they made:(

You can register and order the main set online I think. However the extras are at the Con only. Haven't managed to actually get to one myself yet, missed out on alot of good figures. Also note these things are expensive.
