Of course many collectors aren't going to want to have to paint/customize to get the clones, and they'll likely want both Autobots and Decepticons.

I just clicked on the link and there are still seats available. This thread has been up for nearly 2 days and they still havent sold 60 seats ??? When the backlash comes out, Ill be the first one on here to remind everybody how slowly the seats sold.

Those seats are for people who can actually attend the event, right? The ones for order for those who can't make it ARE sold out, are they not? That's a geographical issue, not a supply/demand issue, so point it out all you want, but how relevant it is may be questionable.

While Machine Wars may not be the most popular choice, Botcon will sell a good amount of tickets. Many people are choosing not to give this a chance because they want to try to get in the Botcon class. Many will not get in, and miss this class too because they waited. Others are just skeptical. Im my opinion, those will be the first ones to complain. Why ? Because they see in person what they missed out on. From there it will trickle down to the rest of the TF community. Im not one of those snobbish collectors who want to be exclusive and privliged. If Mech Ideas decides to give the figures a mass release a few years later or they get KOed, I will be happy for the rest of the fans. But until then, they will have to be patient and wait like I had to wait for Thundercracker, Thrust, and Dirge.

Done and done.
Thanks!

If I come between a rock and a hard place that the DVD is unclear or vauge, it will be nice to have an expert to speak with. Im hoping the kits are mostly assembly and as little painting as possible.

The truth is I lack the fine motor skills required to (most likely) do these figures justice. I may end up commissioning someone to finish up the figures for me. Time will tell I suppose.

Ive done a little bit with a paint brush but Im no expert. I made a Cliffjumper from RTS Bee and Fracus/S**tpiece from translucent PCC versions. Ive also done a few touch ups on my Diaclone Sunstreaker/Sideswipe/Clampdown kitbashes. Removing paint is pretty easy though. My Headrobots Stronghold came out perfect. Im hoping I learn some tricks, especially when it comes to removing pins. You going to Botcon this year ?
