The BotCon brochure is now online!
Go to BotCon.com and click on the Information tab.
Registration will open in a few short days. - should I just say soon?
Please make sure you READ the brochure and understand what you want to register for before registration opens.
We anticipate a very fast sell out this year.
Please read the FAQs BEFORE you use the online registration system. If you have any additional questions please use the email link at BotCon.com. I'll be answering your new questions over the weekend.
Unfortunately because of the speed at which this will happen, please go slowly through the online registration and be careful not to make a mistake. If you make a mistake, by the time we get to you to fix it, we may be sold out!
Thanks for your patience as this is the LARGEST BotCon ever and some of the arrangements have been very complicated!
Brian

Ah I remember this time last year I was giddy as all hell in anticipation for botcon. This year though the theme and the location are keeping me away. Would be nice to see all of the seibertron crew but alas it will have to wait till next year( hopefully) I think I still owe some shots from last year 
Nevertheless this great news for those who are going to attend this year!

Yes! Got the email today! I can't tell you guy how excited I am for Botcon 2011!

I've heard some awesome stories about how cool and nice the fan crowd can be and I'm excited to be among some hardcore fans. Hope to meet any of you guys from the forum!

I am pretty excited for everyone. I really was a blast last year, I had the pleasure of meeting and hanging out with some awesome people last year.
I can't go this year, as my work isn't allowing for any vacation in June or July this year (actually a good thing, but that's another story!) and I think I will miss the people more than the plastic.
One word of advice to the noobs, if you can, make sure you don't have to fly out until the evening of the last day so you can stay that whole final (Sunday?) day, I missed a lot, both by leaving and missing party time!

"Transformers Customizing Class‑a day long optional event that teaches
fans to take off-the-shelf Transformers and create new characters by
repainting the existing toys"
Last year nobody came out of this class with a "custom" figure. They all came out with a black G2 sideswipe. I asked one of the participants if they were taught how to customize their figure with paint or body mods and he said "no". They were only taught how to assemble the kit that came completley colored. In other words, it is not a "customizing class" as stated. It is an "factory line assembly class" with an exclusive repaint of their choice. Just wanted to point this out.

Or maybe they're trying to prevent the crazy drunkeness that happens on those nights? Or maybe they've got something bigger than a quick DOTM preview (just a guess based off 2009) planned for us on Saturday night. Hm.

Im still not sure if I wanna go for the "Animated" theme. But if I do every night will be drinking night. From what I was told this area is out in the open. Not like last year where we were trapped in Disney World and forced to party by their curfews and early bar closing times. Wish they would put Botcon in Miami so I could take all of ya to the shake junt and we can party with the strippers till 5 AM !!!

I was hoping to meet some of the faces behind the usernames. I hope everyone who can go DOES, and has an awesome time! I can tell you, my absolute best friend I met waiting in the long (and totally hysterical) lines! Don't let the box set keep you from going if you can.

Just checked my bank account...ouch. For some reason I thought the Mini-con package was available to everyone, as a simple 'entry-but-no-figures-or-big-benefits' package. Seems that's terribly wrong! And 180USD is the minimum :/
I do have the money...But I'd rather buy the DOTM set, and work on my generations, and G1 sets.

Im gonna sleep on it.
I wanna hit that button but then I just keep thinking ANIMATED...IS IT WORTH $1500 ???
Pros:
1. I own the original Stunticons so owning a homage set would be really cool.
2. A chance to cop some of the classics figures I missed from the 2006-2007 line.
3. A chance to hang with the Seibertron.com homies.
Cons :
1. ANIMATED !!!
The money is there but the interest is not. I own 13 animated figures. I bought most of them because they are homages to favorite G1 characters, Nothing more. I have owned all 3 seasons of Animated that I got hold of a year ago and have yet to watch. Maybe Im not giving Animated a fair chance. But I just cant seem to get a taste for it. (or Transformers Prime) Will somebody please give me a shining reason to make the trip ???

Dude, first question: Have you ever been? The answer is almost certainly no. The reason for saying this is that NO ONE I have ever talked to that has been to Botcon, has not wanted to go back. NO ONE. There is a reason for that. If you have been, and are not eager to go back, then you did not get the most out of the trip.
Second question: You got the money? You do? Then why not? You got another, bigger, better Transformers convention to go to with better exclusives? No ofcourse you don't. Shining reason: IT'S BOTCON YOU MONKEY!

Out of curiosity, would you guys come up here to the Pacific Northwest if the con was held here in Seattle? We have a great convention center here for botcon size conventions, plenty of hotels, and those fish throwing fellows at Pike Place market! Fun for the whole family!

I spent more time in rooms buying figures. I also quit drinking a few years ago. Plus, I used to live in Orlando, so we went to the clubs. The friends I made and the people I met more than compensated for the G2 box set, which ofcourse I bought, but it was more the icing on the cake. I mean dude G2? You went for that but not Animated? Really? My point is: How much did the box set really sell you on the experience last year? Is 5 toys really a deal breaker? And for the last time: REALLY?

Think another thread might be necessary for that?

Sadly I can't go this year, but If any Animated haters that are going want to get rid of their attendee figures I'll gladly buy them.
I was planning on going for the first time, but the car, water heater and furnace all conspired against me to wipe out my funds
I did, however, pick up the Iacon package, so I'm good for the Stunticons!
So, at least there is that

oboy,oboy,oboy,oboy,oboy,oboy! Iacon set will be mine!
I wonder how much of my glee is simply being starved for more Animated stories...
Does anyone know if the BTS trailer is actually compatible with the Animated Voyager Prime mold (it SAYS it does, but all the images only show the deluxe version)? I'm going to feel awfully silly I paid so much for the shattered glass version and it doesn't even fit.

BotCon just sent out the following e-mail update regarding the registration that went online yesterday afternoon.
As we near the first 24 hours of registration here is your update:
We have now installed a new feature so that you can purchase Hall of Fame Event tickets, Tours and Souvenirs (or additional Souvenirs).
Instructions:
1. Go to BotCon.com and click on the registration button. Then click on register now. Then click on use online registration system.
2. Log in with your club log in and start your registration. Choose Registrant, click continue. Then choose Attending -yes or no. If you need multiple tickets for the HOF event, tell the system you are registering that many people (ie. 2 if you need 2). Put the names of the people, ages and screen names, and phone on the next screen and continue.
3. On the package page pick <XXXX No Choice - Use for adding tours, souvenirs...>. This will get you past this screen.
4. Then select the Tours, Souvenirs, or HOF event tickets you need and check out! The $6 fee will not show up on your final invoice.
###
Also, please note for the hats and T-Shirts, click the check box and wait until the box shows qty of one. Then you can change the qty from 1-10.
###
We are sold out of the loose sets, however, as we go through some of the duplicate invoices, some may come back into inventory as those invoices are deleted. Please do not ask us to hold these for you as we cannot. There are no duplicate invoices with classes on them. Both classes are sold out as well.
###
We have turned the phones off in order to prepare for GIJoeCon which is next week at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel.
If you have any questions, please use the links provided at BotCon.com or TransformersClub.com and we will try to get to as many as possible. We are extremely busy right now.

Haha, couldn't take it huh? What had you convinced?
Well I am really excited for the HoF awards, even though I missed Cullen's induction. I would of gone to Botcon 2010 but only for the 1st annual HoF. Glad I didnt go, with the G2 set they had really didnt look that good, plus Orlando was a plane ride compared to a long drive to Pasadena.

Hope you weren't procrastinating if you had planned on purchasing a non-attendee Iacon package for this year's Botcon 2011. They're already sold out! BotCon issued the following tweet about an hour ago:

Iacon packages sold out. Plz do not register as Primus and then ask to switch over to non-attending. Those will be cancelled...

I just registered. What is up with the Seibertron.com party?
Since I am not a gambler, is there anything else to do within walking distance on Saturday night in Pasadena?
Does anyone know who any of the guests are yet?

BotCon Primus and Iacon and loose packages are now all sold out!
That's right, it took just a little over 5 days for all of the toy packages to be gone!
If you tried to place an order before today and your order went to our incomplete file, no worries as we have pulled enough sets to cover all of the incompletes. If we have any sets left after we work the incompletes, we will put them back into inventory. We will let you know if this happens, and it won't be for a couple of weeks. There will not be anymore Iacon (non-attending sets).
Also, we will not be keeping a waiting list.
Please note that we are in the middle of GIJoeCon in Florida so we won't be working the incomplete files until after April 9.
We know who you are and we will follow back up with you then. Please be patient.
We still have Protoform packages available.
We look forward to seeing you in Pasadena in a couple of months!
Stay tuned for upcoming guest information!
Brian
