The Energon Pub

Is it just me or does it seem as though details for Botcon are coming waaaaaaaaay too slowly this year? All we know is the location and that's about it. We've heard lots of rumours but nothing concrete in regards to the toys, the show itself, if we'll get an early movie preview, if the tour of Hasbro is a sure thing, nothing.

Botcon people, if you are reading this, at least give us some pricing on the attending packages, anything. I'm going bonkers waiting.

Agreed.

People do have to be able to plan for all this convention stuff, time off, hotels, arrangements etc.

Not having a schedule and registration form is pretty weak considering how big this convention will be this year.

The only thing I'll add to this is that they had better have the arrangements and workings of the exclusive figures worked out. Nothing will ruin the trip more for me if there are lines of 300 or more people and they do something F'n stupid like under estimate the demand for exclusive classics figures...

Exactly, I have the time booked from work and I have my hotel booked, but I would like to know figure prices, tickets, etc... I have to budget, I don't make a big salary like a lot of people do.

I am also getting quite worried. About all we know right now is the dates and that 2 of 3 Hotels are sold out. I need much more information before I can finalize me and my Girl Friends plans for going (we'll be going no matter what but still).

Hopefully they will kick it into gear its already March!

I am really worried that this will be indicative of the Convention being a mess this year.

I hope not. This will be my first Botcon and I am very excited to be going.
