Botcon will never be like it used to, huh?
I still am very worried that I won't get a chance to get these figures since I am coming in Friday night, definitely after 5 PM. Looks like an early Saturday for me >X-P
Well, I think the movie pushed older fans back into the mix which is causing a severe flux in demand for certain figures. I was never a forum kinda person before I joined Seibertron.com and I mainly did it to find out info on the upcoming movie. Im sure alot of newer members here fit into that catagory and are geeked about collecting again.
Even if you can't get the souvenier figures, Im sure all the vendors will have some precious figure you've been longing for forever.
Either that or after the boom that was last year they're planning on a repeat of exclusive sucsess.
Professionaly I can't see it though as this years figs are nice, but nothing in demand!?!
It makes me woner just to how inside the rash of preconvention auctiouns are? Is some one noticing seekers going for 3 times+ the convention cost and looking to cash in?
Either way, yes the vendors will have some treats, but from what I here the big deal is about the exclusives, but if they're already auctioned out befor the show even begins...
Well whats the point in paying for a package at all!
I have a feeling that the wave surge that started in 2007 will quickly crash in 2008, leaving 2009 less gauging...
Thats fine for me, cause I truely plan on making BotCon '09 my first, and truth be told, I'm probaly gonna get so tossed there that I'll either give them away in a bendy straw contest, or melt them down just to piss off the one guy who begs for the figure.
I look forward to BotCon 2009, it will be LiegeCon, with the slogan, "Chances are, you'll loose a tooth or two"
I bet you can't wait
