I plan on doing the Welker package, but I also plan on putting the toys from botcon up on ebay to help cover the cost. I also love in the Chicago suburbs so I don't have to worry about travel or lodging costs.

How you make your money is your business.

Master piece transformers don't pay for themselves. A mans gotta make a living.

And as a great wise man once said, "fat chicks need loving too. They just gotta pay."

Wasn't Peter Cullen meet and greet with picture price 200 for last year convention maybe it was 250

Yup and Peter Cullen was $180 dollers to meet and greet at the Calgary comic convention this year which was only last weekend and I was able to go but never got to meet him due to the absurd price.



Which sucks cause I was going to ask him for some tips on becoming a voice actor (It's my dream job and I make a damn good impression of WFC/FOC Megatron)




I'm surprised that nobody on this site reported that Peter was there and I only found out when I went on the website the day before I went there.

Botcon.com says that you have to be a memeber of the TFCC to get the Welker Package. I didn't see that in the press conference. Is this true? Can anyone verify? Thanks.

It does say that

You must be a Transformers Collectors’ Club member to take advantage of this special event.

How they're going to do that I don't know. But I went ahead and became one since the package difference last year alone was over a $100 if you aren't a member so it paid for itself.

Discounted BotCon registration prices is one of the perks of being a Club member.

I'm actually agreeing with Rated X. I'm not going to BotCon. The only way to change my mind would be if the last reveal was so awesome my head literally exploded. But, probably not gonna happen. I mean, seriously, it already costs me $65 CAD to sign up for TFCC, and them I have to pay well over $100 to fly to Chicago, then I have to pay oh, was it $300? Add the Golden Ticket on there for $200 and then I have to pay a lot of money for the Frank Welker VIP Experience. Oh, and add the 'Cybertron's Most Wanted' box set on there, the two packs, and all the other stuff I would buy from the vendors there, and I'm paying over 1 grand for BotCon. And did I mention theremare only two figures I actually feel the need to get to sorta complete my collection? I'm buying Stepper and the Duocons on eBay, and that's it.

Oh, and add the 'Cybertron's Most Wanted' box set on there,

That already comes with the registration package.

Alright, I forgot about that. But still, I'd be paying A LOT.

Another Generation 1 voice actor has been announced for BotCon 2015 and this guy is pretty quick. John Moschitta who voiced G1 Blurr and Animated Blurr and is also well known for being the Micro Machine man will be appearing at the convention.

We are excited to announce that John Moschitta, Jr. will be making his first BotCon appearance since 2000! Fans will recognize John as the voice of BOTH the G1 version of Autobot Blurr and also as the Blurr from Transformers: Animated. People across the world know John as the fastest talking man alive, having appeared in a wide variety of advertising campaigns, movies, talk shows and live events (including performing for eight U.S. Presidents!) Don’t miss this opportunity to meet John at BotCon 2015! All autographs and pictures with John are INCLUDED as part of the Primus, Protoform and Mini-con packages!

[Sabrblade]

And it so happens that this announcement comes a mere day or to before the Rescue Bots episode that introduces that version of Blurr airs on TV.

i remember those micro machines commercials John Moschitta was in

As someone that's been to a lot of Botcons now, there's a simple way of putting it: Botcon is (insert curse word of choice here) expensive.

Jesse Wittenrich explains the high price for the Frank Welker VIP Pass:

Frank Welker isn't like the other guests that BotCon has hosted. As in he has a price tag about ten times as high as other actors.

Consider this is a test. If a model like this works, then other high priced guests can be considered. Your George Takeis, Judd Nelsons, etc.

All of the other guests will still be free to attendees to get autographs from. Or $20 a day for walk-ins to visit as many times as they want.

I'm in/around the Chicago area and I am rather excited that BotCon is coming our way. I had thought about maybe going for like a day or so, but I was rather curious to see who else would be going, like as a group or something. I'd hate to go by myself without some buddies to meet up with.

Yeah I'm going, and I only know 2-3 people I mean really know them who are also going. Be nice to tag a few names to faces finally.

Time to get the Rock Lord that turns into the runestone!

The mob tour event feels a little insulting

I was just sent an email from the questions@botcon.com stating that an email will be sent out before registration goes live.

Has anyone been able to actually book a room with Pheasant Run? I've been trying via the phone and through their website since October with no luck. I was not able to call them until after TFcon weekend.
