Came home Thursday to find a note left on my door that they'd attempted to deliver something, had to wait until Friday to go in and pick it up.

Big box from HLJ.

Was able to open it on Saturday to briefly examine the contents.

Wasn't until yesterday I was able to sit down and let them all loose.

Oh and let me know how you find Hotrod, I had him in my also amazing non Botcon haul just a few posts above.

Disagree all you want. You're wasting your time. Botcon figures mean NOTHING to me.

Plus I had an offer for those Reflector weirdos, I passed. I'd rather spend my money on other things, like a Tenor Sax, or either Computrons.

As for the figures ... I'll post my views in the appropriate threads in time.

Yeah: Reflector is an odd bunch but I wanted a botcon thing - almost everything else I got was loose. Kids in a candy store.

Nice Burn! You and me have the same hauls, only my Shocky hasn't arrived yet. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on the bunch ;)^

Thought I'd finally get around to posting what I got from the dealer room at Botcon.

MP Shockwave is really fun to play around with though I'm having trouble with the light in his arm, it seems to be eating batteries. Magmatron is great I got him complete with open box, there's a few scratches but the Seasaur's neck is surprisingly tight. Getting Guiledart has really helped me out since now I can try and stick to VS packs for the rest of the figures. I didn't believe how much of a pain Mach Kick was to transform until now. Lord help me. Archadis and Guiledart are neat to finally have complete since I had the Dinobots version as a kid but they're missing a bunch of parts.

Nice Botcon hauls everyone! Here's mine:

As you can tell from the top left, the podcast crew got so much Bush.

I'm talking about music CDs and signed prints, of course.

Nice! So you did get Airrazor in the end. How do you find her? Do you like her better than the previous one made from the Energon Slugslinger mold?

Cool toy, not very Airazor like. I'm not the biggest fan of this mold but it's a good looking use of it. The Airazor from Energon Slugslinger is staying on the Pre-BW shelf for me. Haven't decided what to do with the Botcon 2016 one yet. Prime Jackpot maybe?

Man what a ride! Botcon was awesome. I got caught up on some old things I've been after for a while, and all in two days. Plus I got to meet lots of awesome folks who I thought were just avatars on the web. Their actually people, and all really good ones at that.

Haul from Crack Town (AKA the Dealer Room)

And I was able to snap this blurry pic of Seibsie getting a little Bush. :-P

I just bought FoC Optimus, Generations Orion Pax, and Botcon Ferak & Tornado(thanks Rodimus!). I friggin love 'em all! Can't decide if I like Pax or Ferak more. Super stoked to have another Starseeker for my ragtag pirate crew shelf! Pax is simply amazing, he looks sooo good and his transformation is incredibly satisfying.

Funny story- whenever I ask my fiancee "Who is this transformer?" when I get a new figure she responds with either Optimus Prime or Bumblebee, even if they look nothing like either. Well, today when I asked her I thought for sure she'd get it right because I was holding Optimus. Nope! She called him "Decepticon".
:HEADHURTS:

Still

her though. Especially since she checks the shelves for figs I don't have when she goes shopping at Target.

I put the one third party toy there that I bought over the weekend holding up the Hasbro letter stating Botcon was over. His Targetmaster is kneeling facing it like it's Planet of the Apes or something.

Fun fact about Va'al's Venom: he asked me if the toy was any good. I hesitated, but it was only because there are so many bad crossovers I had to take time to remember if it was one of the fun ones :lol:
