The Official Transformers Collectors' Club just sent out an update on BotCon 2014 registration. They still hope to go live this week, however it will probably be sometime after Tuesday. Stay tuned.

Hello Everyone!

We are still shooting for registration to go live this week. It won't be today or Tuesday, so rest those refresh keys!

We have loaded on the Information page a Package Matrix to help everyone make sure they are ordering the correct package. Check it out.

In the meantime, to make sure you have not forgotten your log in or password, please go to TransformersClub.com/shop and log in. If it works there, it will work with the registration system. You can also retrieve your password at the store site.

Also please use the email link at BotCon.com if you have any questions, and make sure you read the FAQs before we start registration!

See you in Pasadena!

Still think that $395 for the non-attendee package is absurd. >:oP

How much was it last year? I remember 2012 I believe it was $325 for non-attendee? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Ahh $340 sounds about right. and $20ish shipping I believe.
The price increase this year maybe from the "TRANSFORMERS FAN EXPERIENCE at Universal Studios." that this Years non-attendee package maybe helping to subsidize. We'll know for sure if next year's prices goes down or stay the sameish.

Not the first time it jumped about $30. It was $315 in 2011.

Then again, 2012 had 6 figures in it.

My body is ready.

My wallet is not.

My body doesn't care.

Bring it.

Might be cheaper to buy the box set on ebay...

After Tuesday sounds fine to me. The closer to Thursday, the better for me.

I doubt it. This seems like it's going to be one of the desirable sets thanks to Scorponok, Devcon, and Ginrai(who's a lot more popular than I expected). Probably Games of Deception popular($700 or so on eBay) more than Shattered Glass popular($1000+), though.

Scorponok alone will probably sell for half the cost of the set.
