Botcon: "Wings of Honor" at BBTS

HOW MUCH!!

Wow, thats a lot of cash for such a nasty looking bunch of bots.

Wow, for once I have nearly all the Botcon molds- sold Cyb Sideways a while back. $400 is WAY too much for this set IMHO; those are good molds, but not worth $80 each. You could prob get the original molds all painted to match by a good customizer for less than that.

And why is it called "Wings of Honor" if only one of them has wings? Is it because the Elite Guard logo coud be said to have wings on it?

With a little help from a certain handsome fellow from the US making a 2,500 mile assist...

Well, the box set I got via an Iacon package. I'm counting on my "certain handsome fellow" to help fill in the gaps...

I suppose this is good news for folks who aren't attending and miss out on the Iacon Package. $400 is better than buying a Set off ebay at a later date (though, that varies with popularity of the Set). I'm still not thrilled over this Set anyway.

Heh, now we know why all the non-attending sets are gone. BBTS took them all.

So, I'm stupid for getting the set? or stupid for liking the mold/decos?

allright! talking about throughin your money out the window- there must be alot of people wih money to burn- if you want those! at 400 - that is a high price for some paint apps.-still -maybe i don't have room to talk. I just sent BBTS $164.00 for henkei drige and thrust - but those guys are little more then paint apps.-not to mention to complete the six seeker set......to each there own-- or my fav. one mans junk is another mans treasure...

That's the kind of closed minded attitude which ensures I have the opportunity to own cool things that you will never own.

...and should you change your mind and seek the toys out eventually, yours is the kind of attitude which allows me to sell the things you once dismissed at outrageous mark-ups.

Every year we go through this with people. "Boy, do these figures SUCK! What a horrible set!"

Then after the Con people are willing to pay siz arms, two legs and a spleen for them.

Oh well.

Given that the price of these custom sets usually balloon up 100% within a month of them being released I'll say yes.

Also the set itself looks cool.
