Wow.

I saw this and Counterpunch, my jaw literally fell.

Mark my words some day I’ll go to Botcon and get lots of good toys too!

I'd like to point out the $35 Mini-Con, the $60 basic sized figure, and the pile of rare energon weapons down there.

...

Not so much cutting back as accessorizing

I didn't quite see Blue Ramble first time

You must be down to your last few energon weapons now, right?

Close...real close.

I need the purple axe, the green axes, there are two of them the bright pink energon spear and some odd solid color weapons that go on the Divebomb mold which were apparently pretty exclusive.

I really am quite satisfied at what I currently have though. I got some awesome ones at the convention.

love that bludgeon.

I think I went a little overboard this year.
The only thing I regret though was getting sick on Friday night and missing the get together

On Seib's front page linky, there was a pic of the Universe Seacons. Are they finally out? What's the deal with them?

The Club Universe Seacons are not out yet. I'm sure they tried to get them for Botcon. I predict it will be a monto or two, at least.


I bought a boxed and loose 2008 set (Iacon package) plus all the exclusives (including Ricochet) but I did not get the chance to go to Botcon this year. I also preordered the final two WST dinobots and bought movie Premium Barricade, Jazz, and Bumblebee.

I got the Shattered Glass Set and Ricochet with my Primus package and picked up all the Shattered Glass Exclusives! I also got some Botcon t-shirts a hat, backpack and Shattered Glass Lithograph! Picked up parts and weapons for completing some of my G1s and picked up a Comp. Computron with Scattershot box with insert and all acc. and papers including unused sticker sheet! All other Technobots 100% comp. with backer cards! All still have the plastic bubbles attached except Strafe! 100% comp.! I can't wait till next year!

Hey, you got the Japanese Powerglide exclusive that you wanted.

By the way, did anyone notice the great deals on eBay for Transfomrers for the past week? Many people have been saving their money for Botcon and eBay auction prices went down.

Unfortunately due to my getting laid off I had to miss out on the Shattered sets (all of them) but I nevertheless got to go and I made some purchases. They include:

G1 Blitzwing (to replace my non-standing one)-loose
G1 Astrotrain (to replace my non-standing one)-loose
Encore Black Protect Ironhide- Packaged of course (but not anymore )
Encore Movie Colored Ratchet- Packaged of course (but not anymore )
Autobot hat
Autobot shirt
G1 Skywarp missiles- both long and short ones, two each
Transformer Action Cards from the '80s- Jazz and Devastator but it turned out I already had them
G1 Countdown gunner pod- replacement for my broken one
Transformers Cybertron: Balancing Act comic series collection book
Timelines #3 comic

Ok, I didn't go this year but I have been shopping. Here's my list:

Botcon
Shattered Glass Box Set (Iacon)

TFSource.com
Ricochet
All Shattered Glass exclusives (First time I have got all of them in one go)
e-hobby Black Ironhide
Transmanual V2

BigBadToyStore
Botcon Games of Deception (2007) set
2x City Commander sets

Agesthreeandup.com
Remoulded MP Prime blaster
2x Green WST Slags
KO Cassettes (Frenzy, Ratbat, Rumble and Ravage)
KO Seaspray
KO Warpath

ebay
All Botcon exclusives (On behalf of my friend)
An extra Botcon Divebomb which I will stick back on ebay when I get it
KO Black G1 Optimus Prime

Spent a tidy sum on all that. I have decided not to spend any more on transformers until I go to Auto Assembly. Divebomb was a result of trying to get the exclusives one at a time before Botcon, being outbid and then a bid retraction near the end of the auction.

My haul:


Technically, I got the Animated toys at WalMart but it was during BotCon, so....
Oh, and I also got the T-shirt! Thanks to Ryan for making it and tfpredaking for grabbing it for me!

I didn't have much money to spend, but I'm really impressed with my haul all things considered. I got G2 Laser Prime (complete- working electronics, but the legs are wobbly), Smokescreen and Dreadwind (missing a gun and maybe two missles, otherwise complete) and Space Case (complete), which is a special Transformer to me (my mom got him for me when I was li'l, since it has my name in it)

All cost me a li'l under $100 total (which is all I had with me)

I was totally amazed to find that in a box for $1 on Sunday since it's one of only three (now two) Marvel G1 issues that I need to complete the run.
