Pete@BotCon has revealed some new information about both the First 100 pins and the registration process.

We are making an additional 50 "first 100 pins" for the non-attending packages. So now it is a first 150.

The price of the online registration will drop next year. Once the cost of the system has been covered we will charge a maintenance fee that will, again, be much less.

Another reason we are holding off on the printable forms is because there is no easy way to reconcile those forms with forms that are faxed. Online forms take priority when it comes to classes, tours, first 150 and so on.

The information can also be seen here.

So non attending packages are for those who want the box set etc etc but cannot go to the show and these people get to register first? Then the people who are attending register second?

Are the pins cool? Seems like everytime pete drops more info I get more questions than answers LoL...Is there a limit on how many packages the non atendees can get?

I think they mentioned in the email they sent out that they're having the attendes register first, and then sometime after the non-attendees will get their orders in for sake of organization and speed of transactions. Someone correct me on this if I'm wrong, though.

My 'crying' over in the club forums on that thread related to this paid off (At least I like to think it did)


Registration for 'attendees' should start Monday. 100 pins are alloted to the first 100 registrations. Boxed sets in addition to the bagged sets (if you buy a boxed set) will be available. You're going to the show, picking up your loot, and also getting a free figure for attending.

Registration for 'non-attendees' will start next week. 50 pins are alloted to the first 50 registrations. Boxed sets in addition to bagged sets (if you buy a box set) will be available. You're not going to the show, and your loot will be shipped after the convention finished.

Well I know they said they were shooting for monday. It's not set in stone...Just in case I'm taking the morning off from work So I can register..Not for any other reason than peace of mind..I've never been this stressed out about a vacation..

I read some of the all spark forums reaction to this information and most of those guys seemed very irritated. At this point I would say I just want to get registered so I can rest easy..I'm not harboring any malice towards any member of FP, I'm going to save that for the Panel discussion since I'm willing to nbet that it's gonna be INTERESTING this year...

Oh and I really want one of those pins

Please let registration start after noon eastern tomorrow
