Non-Attendee registration is now open for those can't make it to BotCon this year. Click here to visit the BotCon 2014 page and get started.

Hello Everyone!

Non-Attending registration is now open. There is a limited number of non-attending sets available. When we run out, at a later date we will load the leftover attending sets (if available) into non-attending as we must keep those in stock for fans that want to travel to the event.

So, if you don't get a non-attending set now, we will let you know in the future when (if any) additional sets become available.

These sets will ship 3-4 weeks after the staff returns from BotCon. Also, note that the Priority Mail number of days listed in the shipping section is the service the Post Office offers and not a guarantee that the items will come in that number of days. All Priority Mail is a 2-5 day service and can actually take longer than that.

Please go to BotCon.com and click the registration button.

See you in Pasadena!

Got my order for the Iacon package in.
Didn't add anything else as the 4 bills was a big enough chunk in one shot for me.

Placed my order. Looking forward to having Scorponok.

And the comic, I suppose.


Shame about the distinct lack of bagged sets this year. I'd have bought one just for a spare Scorponok. >:oP

Good luck on the custom class figure. I was tempted to add that on, but decided to wait and see instead, in the event it's something unrelated to "Classics", such as a Shattered Glass character.

Probably not, the attendee window to get them was registration. They have have saved like, 5 for walk ups? :lol:

They always do save a decent amount of sets as unsold so they can do QC swaps. I've only had to swap something out once at the show but I was sure glad it wasn't an issue. That's one thing they do very well lately.

According to the Botcon Facebook page there is literally one Iacon package left. So if you're reading this and sleeping on it, well, uh, stop reading this.

In other BotCon news, the non-attendee set are sold out! Hopefully you jumped at the opportunity to purchase the non-attendee Iacon package yesterday when we reported that orders had opened, because they have all been spoken for according to the latest update from FunPub.

Hello Everyone!

Non-Attending registrations now sold out. If there are any leftover attending sets we will turn them into non-attending sets (closer to the event) as we must keep those in stock for fans that want to travel to the event.

So, if you don't get a non-attending set now, we will let you know in the future when (if any) additional sets become available.

Please DO NOT register for an attending set and try to change it to a non-attending set later as we will cancel this registration and put it back in stock.

Thanks for your support!

Brian

Alas, I am not able to attend Botcon this year. Would anyone here be willing to be a pal and pick up a few (unrevealed) sets if I wanted them? I purchased a non-attendee, but am interested to find out what the other sets will be. If anyone is willing to pick some up , I would be willing to compensate and provide a little extra! I'm also curious as to what the free fig will be as well. Lemme know, e-mail me. :BOWDOWN:

Shield looks cool and all but I hate seeing the car window hanging off to the left side of it.

And damn, they sold out fast. I'm guessing there weren't many non-attending packages available to start...

For the people who do go to botcon, do you guys regularly get together at some point during botcon for say a lunch or dinner? Just wondering since I'm new here and I'll be there this year. Wouldn't mind at least saying hi.

I've heard last year wasn't a good year in comparison to other years. Which is hard for me to gauge considering last year was my first botcon, I loved every moment of it and it's the reason why I'm going again this year and plan on trying to make it year after year. Regardless of where it is in the U.S.

well, I'll be going to my first Auto Assembly this year. If international travel costs weren't a factor I might have made it Botcon instead. It only costs 4 times as much for the ticket (of course, there's the toys to consider as well in the cost, but Scorpy would have made me justify it)

Can't make it to BotCon or afford to buy the set, especially without the benefit of attending BotCon, but I would love to pickup the Ginrai figure. I'm a big fan of the classics Prime mold, and this color looks really striking. Hopefully the collectors club will have it available on their website after the convention, if not I will be scanning eBay.

No idea what that's about. It was a very fun convention, a bit lower on people than usual and the dealer room was just so-so selection wise, but a great time.

I'll take a super-fun Energon mold compatible with a G1 Headmaster all day long. I'm sure PE will make a nice Scorponok action figure that falls apart into twelve pieces that kind of constitute an alt mode once you're done finessing them together for 8 days.

Is that what PE figures are like? I don't own much in the way of 3rd party. I spend enough on Hasbro/takara figures. I'd hate to see my bank account if I bought things like Giant, the Menasor and other 3rd party figures that looked realy nice.

Nah PE is pretty awesome (but on the expensive side even for 3P). ScottyP is just not a fan of Warden (which is the figure he is refering to)
PE is also known for parts forming.
Re: BotCon 2014 Non-Attendee Registration is Now Open (1576010)
Posted by ScottyP on May 21st, 2014 @ 9:53am CDT
Yeah other than Warden, I enjoy the other PE stuff I have. Granted, it's not much (Autobot birds, black Rumble, black Kingbat) but those are fun.
