BotCon 2011 Registration Now Online!

Signed up for the Primus package. See you there, guys!

From what I hear and see, registration is still bungled up a bit.

Unfortunately, I cannot make it this year.... 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.

I can't FREAKING LOG IN!!!!!!!

Got my Primus package ordered! SOOOO EXCITED!

OK, I got in.


I had to do the Iacon package this year though ... but it will be my first botcon set!

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 ???

Bah, I really want to be there for the screening.

If any of you want to fill in the gaps in your animated collection, I've just listed every Hasbro Deluxe, Voyager and Leader for sale.

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!

Got my Iacon packages registered! If anyone that is going wants to pick up 2 of everything for me, I'd gladly pay you handsomely for them!

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 dont believe we were formally introduced last year in Orlando. Where were you when we were all drunk at the Dolphin bar having a good time ???





Im not gonna post pics of other Seibertronians getting drunk without their permission. But Im certainly not afraid to show mine. And you ???

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?

Happily registered.

Tomorrow I'll bag the plane tickets I've been waiting on, then it's time to finalize room accomodations with fellow fans. . . .

Think another thread might be necessary for that?

Got the Primus package and with that, I have all my ducks in a row! REALLY looking forward to going, meeting fellow Seibertronians and having a good time! This is my first BotCon and I can hardly contain myself!

See ya there!

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.

Well I'm registered so I will see you all there.

BotCon just sent out the following e-mail update regarding the registration that went online yesterday afternoon.
