Rated X wrote: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!

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.

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

Prime Evil wrote:Hmmm, liking the looks of that shirt. Looking forward to getting that from the club store.

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!

I didn't go that far. But I will say that as far as BotCon, exclusives, and what we had been told previously; the rules have changed (or where never there to begin with).

For those of you who are planning on being a dealer at BotCon, the early multiple booth discount expires at 5pm on Friday April 15th. To register, go to BotCon.com and click on the registration button.

We are still working on the problem registrations, but we are almost finished, so if you have received an email or phone call from customer service, please respond quickly so that we can tell how many packages we may have left. I will send out another email when we know if anything more will be available.

Meanwhile, you can still order your HOF Event tickets. The tickets are limited so don't wait too long to sign up! You can add this to your package by going back to BotCon.com, click the register button and put in how many people you are registering for and when you get to the package page, select the XXXX bypass and this will defeat the $6 processing fee. You can also use this to add T-shirts and tours to your package as well. In addition, it will help us if you put your original invoice number in the notes field on the page where you put in your address and put the words "this is an addition to order (your original invoice number here)".

In order not to interfere with any religious holidays this month (Passover and Easter) we won't put the pre-orders up for Transtech Cheetor and Ramjet until the last week of the month.

Your FREE Membership Sideburn figures will ship after BotCon.

I hope you are working on your art and Fan Film entries for BotCon! Don't forget to let us know if you are entering these and have your film to us by May 2. That way, we can plan space/time for your entry.

Also, cut-offs for the BotCon tours will be May 2nd as well as we have to finalize the tickets.

If you are planning to come as General Admission, those tickets are only available at the door on the day of your admittance. Please see the General Admission tab at BotCon.com for more details.

If you have any BotCon questions, please read the Information tab at BotCon.com and the FAQs as most answers are there. If you still can't find the answer, send us an email using the link at BotCon.com.

Thanks for your support!

I had to pay shipping to mail the bad one back and it took a few weeks to get a replacement. They said they would have hooked me up at the information booth at Botcon if I had just brought it over.
