Being on Geocities makes it very unbelievable.

I've heard of Dairycon before, but if it's the seventh-annual event, you'd THINK they'd be able to get a better host.

with only 2 bovine transformers coming to mind i'm thinking scam.

Try googling the info. Maybe a reputable TF site (besides seibs) can vouch for the real deal.

You'ld think they would contact a TF site to leak the info out if they're promoting/preregistering it online.

Dairycon is real, people. Unfortunately, it's a very smal con with a very smal target audience. I agree, Geocities suck as hosts with their stupid bandwidth limits.

I live in Wisconsin and I think it's in Fon du Lac. I have registered with them and am still waiting for my membership card. I'm only gonna go if i get it because it's the only way you can get the exclusive figure. The city is a good drive to just go to a small convention in the ballroom of a hotel. And I guess you have to preregister or you can't even get in. I also think they are more wiling to answer your request if you live in WI.

Not true.

There are usually 2 exclusives. One is the actual Dairycon exclusive available to all attendees. The other is our version of the Club's free figure. Instead, you have to come get it rather than have it shipped to you.

The 2nd figure is only available to members of the Dairyland Transformers Fans (DTF).

Please be patient. I'll try to get Fred to swing by here and answer some questions.

It's called Dairycon cause it's for a group based out of Wisconsin...the Dairy State.

Just to let you know, there is a VERY good chance that the confirmation e-mail got sent to your junk folder. I know mine did. I just remembered that.

As for the DTF, it's another Geo-cities site at http://www.dairylandtransfans.com

Basically, we're just an e-mail group that helps each other with customizing tips, toy sightings, and toy dealings. If it's related to Transformers, and it's related to Wisconsin, you'll find it here. Dairycon is basically our yearly get together for the DTF, but it has expanded and non-DTF members have been coming for the past couple conventions.

As for the questions about Fred, he's the organizer of Dairycon. He is also the driving force behind the DTF. I'm sure he's really busy now working on getting everything set up for the convention (such as producing the toys).

I'll let you know if I get a reply from him.

The figures themselves look great, and I'd tried joining their Yahoo group a few times, but got voted out every time (shame too, I live less than a mile from Wisconie & lived most of my life there)... Fred finally got in touch with me (thanks again Fender!), and told me as much... So, while I'd thought hard about preregistering & driving the 4 hours, 48 minutes (or 275.49 miles!) I've unfortunately decided against going this year... Not to mention that there has been absolutely NO information (not even a hint!) about what this year's exclusive item is... Really, the link from the Pre-Registration form that leads to a 'hint' links to this picture!
Image

It's a shame too... I guess I'll just have to wait until next year... (and hopefully the DTF will loosen up their "Wisconsin Residents Only" policy by a few miles or so...)

The reason for the picture is because the exclusives are always a surprise. For instance, Bailjumper and Flatfoot both came in boxes so you couldn't see what was inside until you opened it.

:( sniffle, sniffle.. :sad:

How nice are these exclusives?

????

man the WORST thing has happened... I mean I never thought dairycon was a sham I more or less posted this to spark dialog and get in touch wit the DTF.. but man did it backfire.....

My cousin, my brother and my self have NOW been BANNED from dairycon....

..and its all my fault.. My cousin is currently NO LONGER speakin to me....

Long story short,

Dairycon people think we are SOMEHOW tryin to scam them for the exclusives.... these must be some crazy nice toys then huh?

FOLLOWING instructions is what got me in trouble...
Per the registration website if you don't receive a reply within 48 hours you’re supposed to email them again..

I sent them an email from my hotmail account...(since I don't have internet at home, my cousin made me the email account on hotmail like 8 years ago and it apparently shows his real name as the sender of emails) but it is my email and I use it for everything!! School, paypal ect, ect.

So he registered under his name, using HIS school email address, using HIS contact info..

I used the hotmail addy which again he created for me(which apparently may be why it has his real name also) but in the body of that email, I sent my OWN personal info along with my real name and contact info... he lives in IL and I live in WI so I didn't see how this could be an issue...or how it could be mixed up...

so I waited an ENTIRE month and never got anything...I spoke with my co-worker who is actually in the DTF group, he also emailed Fred personally askin if he received my registration info.. A week went by with no reply from Fred either to me or my friend in the DTF group.

I then made this post here, as my thought process was maybe he thought my email was spam so he deleted it and never got my registration, my hope again to spark dialog or bring out Fred to clarify this or that someone could get in touch wit him or the DTF to again clarify this... judgin by the replies in here I thought it succeeded....

Shortly thereafter my cousin and myself received an email from Fred himself statin the confusion was somehow caused by my hotmail with the send out name matchin my cousins school email and his real name. I replied to him via that email clearing up the matter to which I never received a response, 2 weeks go by, NOTHING from Fred in my email confirming or denying MY registration, my DTF contact again heard nothing, nothing on this post, nothing from PM's either from you guys here...

so again thinkin it was the whole spam issue business, I sent another registration request, NOW from my GMAIL account which also doubles as my ebay account,(since my real name was not available I jus made up a nickname when I made my gmail account 2 years ago) I again clarify who I am and that I am from Wisconsin and send the same personal info that I sent before from my hotmail account,.. 2 weeks go by and again NOTHING.. no response denying or confirming ANYTHING..

Now keep in mind PRE registration closes on 3/15/07, this is like a week or so before that, so heck yeah I"m panicking.. I don't want to miss out.. I check with my brother and cousin askin if THEY ever got anything, they say nothing(besides my cousin who got that email along with me from Fred noted above)...

as a desperate measure I try to register a THIRD TIME but again using my same name and personal info and stating why I’m doing this, but I do it from my wife's account and using that same email address(meanin her yahoo email) I attempt to JOIN the DTF group as maybe that way I can get in touch with someone to clear this whole mess up!!

Another 2 weeks go by and NOTHING!! no email from Fred, no email from the DTF... I had jus about gave up hope when outta the blue I get an email from Fred in my gmail account, now this Fred sounds mad nice, he jus informs me and I’ll quote his email:
Now we have a 'sean price' monicker? :-) Dude, you have a lot of
names...... This is the information we have listed for you:
RE:I am tryin now thru my business address fingers crossed!!
0068
My Real Name Here
phabeon@hotmail.com
7xx North Grand Ave
Waukesha, WI 53186
262-5x4-6x3x
(x) Guest
Initial confusion caused by two people with the Fabian monicker; the
duplicate info was listed as:
F R (my cousin's name)
Regalxxx0@uww.edu
5xxx Breezeland Road, Carpentersville IL 60110
847-x0x-6x2x
also known as 'Sean Price'

:-)

Regards,

Fred
so yeah I think everything’s all cool based on this response.. so I fire back an email APOLOGIZIN greatly for the confusion and asking for forgiveness for it all.. I p.s. him about the status of my cousin and brothers registration...I never got a response back..

The very same day I get an email reply from Fred in my wife's yahoo email account where again I had attempted to join the DTF group...

again I’ll quote it:
Normally, I'm not one to complain, but this is getting a bit silly.

You realise that I have several different names and e-mail addys, all
somehow linked:

R D
F R
Sean Price
C B
Regalxxx0@uww.edu
txmickey934@yahoo.com
phabeon@hotmail.com
aieen345world@gmail.com

It's all linked together, either via 'Fabian' or by the same mailing
address.

So the question becomes, who are you *really*? And would you be so
kind as to clear this up? At this point, I would have no idea what to
tell my graphics guy to put on the membership card... I have no idea
which one of your identities is your 'real' one.

You do realise that pre-registrants are required to present a driver's
lisence or photo ID in order to attend Dairycon, correct?


LMK, and thank you.

Regards,

Fred
SO again I reply to that email stating who I am, again the same person from WISCONSIN and again fire off my PERSONAL contact info, and DEEPLY and TRULY apologizing for the confusion I go on to give him my cousins email who again is from IL, I explain that and tell him that, his school email should be registered under an IL contact info so again not sure where the confusion is since i'm from Wisconsin and he's from IL and I’m no longer even using the hotmail addy...

I never get a response... and truly I think everything is okay, I"M under the assumption Fred is SUPER busy so thats why he never responds or so late in any response and I think its all gravy and we're good to go...

then on MONDAY March 19'th, 2007 the UNHOLY Bomb drops...

I come into work and receive an angry email from my cousin talkin about "thanks alot and thanks to your stupid antics you got us kicked outta dairycon" me not givin it much thought due to the last 2 emails I had received from Fred which led me to believe everything is all good, as quoted above...was SHOCKED to all get out when I go check my gmail account and my yahoo account sure enough have received the banned from dairycon emails... I mean WORST of all my cousin and brother are now somehow banned and they had nothing to do with my confusion so that’s why I’m tryin so desperately to amend things.. NOT TO MENTION my cousin is pretty p*sssed about this and has not spoken to me since that email...

All we got was this:

Your pre-regs for Dairycon have been cancelled. No further information
is available at this time.


Regards,

Moderator, Dairycon

thats it no explanation or anything....

come to find out thru my DTF contact... that dairycon somehow things WE are ALLL the same person.. and that I am somehow tryin to scam them for the exclusives... I don't know how they think this.. Being that ONE of their regulations is check in with a valid Drivers license..

ooooHHHH man this is all jus ONE big ugly mess... ME I have never been to a "con" of any kind and this would have been my first for myself my cousin and my brother and WHAT better way then to enjoy the 1st then to go to a transformers con......

:sad: :( :sad:

PLEASE PLEASE Fred reconsiders... I have sent you an email explainin all this from my wife's yahoo account and will ONLY use that one for contact stuff from now on.. but please read this post and KNOW that this is not a scam but simply 3 different people tryin to attend your show... and i'm pretty desperate here.. and again I apologize for any confusion and inconvenience that I have caused.. and you seem like a pretty cooL dude and I KNOW we can work this out...

I know that if we talk on the phone or directly thru email we can clear this up..

if ONLY he would let us attend he WOULD see we are INDEED 3 DIFFERENT people and we would of course show up with our own individual drivers licenses to prove it...

IF I have offended anyone please let me know... or at the very least if DTF is p*ssed at me for all this.. please I IMPLORE you at least lift the ban from my cousin and my brother as they DID not have anything to do with my madness.. I mean if worst comes to worst I can take the blame for my rashness but those two had nothing to do wit it... and as for my contact on the DTF board, please forgive as he was only tryin to help me out....

SOMEONE please ask Fred to read this and know that on everything I swear this is no scam but 3 different people that got caught up in a HORRIBLE mix up..

I would even give out my phone # for Fred to contact if that would help..

I don't know what else to do... I’m at a loss for words..

and I’m sure some of you would say, well if this is how he runs his pre registration why would you want to attend an actual show that they put together... well all I can say is I’m a madman for all that is Transformers’ been collecting since the summer of 86'....

Please lets get this worked out DTF!!


I am in no way upset or mad at anybody.. like I sed to me this all one big confusion and I jus want to work it out.. I'm not mad NOR do I have any ill words for Fred or the dairycon group, NONE at all, we all good as for as I’m concerned I jus want to clear this MESS up and got darn it, ATTEND the dope a$$ Dairycon is aLL....

Thank you

Okay, calm down Sean. Fred has been working on trying to get things straightened out. I contacted him once more on your behalf.

Just don't be too disappointed if you somehow don't get in to Dairycon this year. We have a convention every year, so if things don't work out, there will be another full year to get things straightened out.

NOT a problem, like i sed earlier I am not upset nor mad in any way nor do i harbor ill will towards DTF or Fred..

Fred actually seems like a really chill dude, you know all around cool guy and whatnot..


and yeah your right I can accept my fate if i'm still banned and not allowed to attend Dairycon 07' but I'm more or less asking them to reconsider at least for my brother and cousin who are innocent in this and did nothing other then they somehow got associated with me...

I mean i'm sure we'll get over this no matter what but yet and STILL my cousin is not on speakin terms with me... and yeah even tho he only lives bout 2 hours away i don't have time to visit much so email is our main source of communication and EVEr since "i" got us kicked out of dairycon he has not spoken to me since...


which is a bummer i recently jus got the 20'th anniversary edition Optimus Prime for $30 bucks on clearance at wal-mart and i emailed him the good news and find and NEVER got a response..


BUT yeah I appreciate any and all help on this.. and TRULY i jus want to get this whole mix up fixed....

i mean it is what it is....ONE BIG UGLY HORRIBLE MISUNDERSTANDING....


so hopefully Fred can take the time out of his busy day and get in touch with me... let him know i emailed him from my wife's yahoo account and i put my own personal contact # in there so he can call if he wants...

shooot, i'd even be willin to fax in a copy of my drivers license if that would help things...

so yeah please let him and the DTF know whats up and I (and by my association my brother and cousin) are TRULY legit and are willing to prove it.. or do whats required to verify we are who we are and not scammers of any sort..

THANK YOU KINDLY!!


peace

Good luck working out the issue Sean, I can definitely see where the confusion came from though!

You'll have to let us know how Dairycon was though! (Or, at least have your brother & cousin let us know :lol: )

But seriously, good luck with that, I'm sure Fender Bender will work his magic with Fred... He got me in contact with Fred when I attempted to join the DTF (but was ultimately rejected due to me being a Minnesotan!)...

--As for my post above regarding the "It's a secret" picture, I was mistaken, I didn't know that it was a SECRET right up to Dairycon! I'd thought that there'd be a preview of this year's exclusive figure, since the page linking to it said "For a preview of *all* Dairycon Exclusives and storylines, click here!"...

Thanks again to Fender Bender for the help clearing up the issue, and I'm hoping to attend next year! (The site's page is still bookmarked in my favorites, and will stay that way!)

That's cool. I hope you do come next year. It can be confusing for out-of-staters. Even though Dairycon is run by the DTF, they are somewhat 2 different entities. From what I've gathered, we've allowed out-of-staters to come to Dairycon (which will get you the Dairycon exclusive), however, membership to the DTF is strictly Moo-state residents (so that makes the extra exclusive even more exclusive).

Of course, this could all be solved if you would just move a few miles across the river. :P

Unfortunately, that's not too likely to happen anytime soon... (Real life really gets in the way of things, doesn't it?) Although Hudson is on our short list of places to move to when we finally do move!

But yes, I still want to go, but it just wasn't in the cards for this year! But, I'm still interested in attending in the future (as it is the nearest TF 'con to me!!!)

So, hopefully they do another run of Heffer... or just another character based on Huffer or Pipes, as the Huffer mold is my favorite minibot figure! (Trucking, it runs in the family!)

Funny, he is probably the most sought after exclusive, and he wasn't even an exclusive! :lol: The original Heffer was created by Jack of the DTF as an entry into the art competition.

I can definately confirm 2 being in existance as one was auctioned off last year with the profits going towards the convention center rental. However, there is a good chance there may be a few more out there (no more than 10, I'm sure).

I myself would love to have one, I tried bidding on the one last year, but a certain Psychotic Completist :wink: wanted it more.

greetings fellow TF'ers...

same old same... i have not recieved any word from neither Fred nor the DTF.....

....I was wondering if any of you had any updates on my situation?

or if the kind fender had suceeded or not in getting fred to come "talk" to me...

I mean at this point the con is like 13 days away... so i'm pretty much "not" gonna go unless some miracle of the DTF comes thru...

and yeah i guess the whole experience has soured for me, i mean all i did was OVERZEALOSLY attempt to register,still tho i did FOLLOW their own instructions...per the pre register instuctions: if you don't recieve an email response from us in 48 hours, please contact us.. which i tried to do...

but yeah I can't speak for my brother and cousin but i'm not sure i would want to go anymore... I mean if people are like this over the internet imagine what "they" might be like in person... all i wanted to do is meet and greet LIVE actual transformers fans.. you know get conversations and network, kinda like fender and methusalen in this very thread.

I mean at this point I jus want to know what happened? Fred seemed so cooL, and even one of my friends on the DTF who has been a member for more then 2 months got "attacked" when he tried to stick up and vouch for me..

from the bottom of my heart main... i just want this ugly chapter to be over, for real....

but i can't just let it go...


I mean i jus got THREE questions that i would appreciate an answer to....


1. why did "we" ALL get banned? I mean basically i'm jus lookin for closure on this.. if I did SOMETHING WRONG let me know so i can at least TRY to correct it for next time..**REMEMBER** all we got is an stating we our pre registrations were cancelled no explanation or anything..

2. how could the DTF even think we were tryin to scam them since PER THEIR OWN instructions you have to check in with a valid drivers license....so how they thought i was one person i "guess" i could kinda see/understand... but how they thought i was gonna scam them makes no sense, since at most i would have got one set of exclusives wen i checked in....but i wouldn't be able to get anyting else...

3. I mean thru this all i would like to think i have been courteous and respectfull NOT once have I had an iLL thing to say about Fred, the DTF or the dairycon, NOT once have i resorted to name calling... but yet and still i on the other hand... have been blackballed, accused of being a thief, a scammer, a con artist and WORST of ALL( all this BECAUSE i actually/desperately wanted to attend the con and did all i could to attend, the emails, this post. ect.ect.) i am NOW being called a DRAMA-QUEEN....

i mean come on man.. thats uncalled for.. all i wanted to do was jus get down wit some tranformers and THEN, to meet people that share the love that i do for it.. that was jus gonna be cream on top..

but man did it turn out to be one ugly mutha....


thank you all for letting me cry on here..

but for realz jus let me know what happened..thats all i gots say...


PEACE
