Question on Botcon Sideswipe

by lanzajr26 » Mon Jul 30, 2007 5:25 pm

I was wondering if there was a difference between the releases of the 2003 Botcon Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. I've seen a few Sideswipes around for ~$30 but Sunstreaker is much more expensive. Is this just due to Sunstreaker being more popular or was he released in fewer quantities?

Sunstreaker was a hotel exclusive only for the guests where Sideswipe was a convention exclusive. Sunstreaker was released in lower quanities than Sideswipe was due to that.
