There is possibility the earliest I can get down to RI is Friday and I bought the Primus package!:sad: Does this mean I could be screwed out of a figure set, or do I have to work really hard at changing my schedule? :???:

I've been wondering the same thing.

Though I do plan to be there on Thursday.

From what I've been reading here, other boards that Pete from botcon post, and on the collector's club board, you should be ok.

The box set total is not set yet. It all depends on how many forms get sent in and is adjusted by that. Last year was estimated around 800 I guess. This year, they are already anticipating a bit more.

Freebie, I really don't know how many of these will get made. I'm kinda in the dark about this guy.

Souvenir set, Pete mentioned that they will make enough for everyone at the convention. I'll be arriving early-mid Friday also. Someone said that us Friday arrivals should be ok. I don't know about Saturday arrivals however.

Well, they usual limit the number of extras you can buy. Last year your 'pass' had punches on it. If you ordered a package then you could purchase the other con exclusives. They would punch your card over the picture representations of each set, thus keeping track of whether you bought them or not.

Later in the con, they will put whatever is left on sale for whomever in a first come first served basis after there has been a good amount of time (Friday afternoon I think) for packagge holders to try to get them.

I am not sure if they ran out of freebies or not. It seems like I heard that they did, but I imagine they would have enough produced to cover one per package holder, but you might need to ask at the collector's club site...

Yeah, last year they were offering Flamewar (Botcon '05 Freebie) as well as Tigatron since there weren't enough Tigatron's.
