BotCon 2014 Official Scorponok T-Shirt Revealed

I've been F5'ing as hard as my fingers and keyboard will allow and I have tabs open for Botcon's Facebook and twitter to check any updates.

Today has been less than productive.

What a great name. I mean, forget Optimus Prime. Why would you want a subpar name like that when you could have Fire Guts. I wonder if its a nickname, like Tommy "Fingers" Magee or Johnny "Shades" Waters?

Nah, Ginrai just has a bad case of heart burn

Ginrai makes me wonder though, is he:

1) a Transtector (originally meant for Optimus Prime) given life by a human
2) a born Transformer, but a sufferer of Primus apotheosis

It's live, but NOT for Non-Attendees like the Facebook stated it would be.

Registration is now live for those planning to attend BotCon 2014 in Pasadena, California! You can take a look at this year's brochure and package matrix by clicking here. Click here to get started.

For those who plan to purchase non-attendee packages registration will open sometime next week.

As always, the staff of Seibertron.com looks forward to seeing all of you there!

Typical. Making non-attendees wait till the next week again. It's probably for understandable reasons, but I'm getting real tired of it none the less.

I'm all registered. I'll see you all there!

Attendees should get first dibs so that all of those people who already have plane tickets and hotel reservations are able to get the convention exclusives and opportunities they want. I'm surprised they even have a non-attendee package ... to the best of my knowledge, most conventions of this nature don't offer anything like that.

The delay is due to a problem with their connection to FedEx.

That said, I see it all the time for gaming conventions, though most exclusives in that case aren't done through the convention itself but at the booths for the specific producer and a number are held for webstore sales.

For example, for Gencon last year, Privateer Press produced 1000 10th Anniversary sets. 250 or so were set aside for the webstore(it was a hassle to get those, too) with 750 brought to the event for sale there.

What kind of registration invoice numbers y'all got? I'm 6877, haven't seen a lower one yet but with my hamfisting Candace's password three times I'm sure I wasn't dead on first.

Not until next week for non-attendee sets?!

Well I guess only the people going will get bagged sets to go with...
