These guys are lucky. After the convention they can hit the hookah bars and red light districts to party.

Hmmm, that suddenly makes me wonder how Cybertronian prostitution would work. Would most fembots specifically avoid having any red lights built into them, since that'd be an indicator that they were, y'know...

Actually, not may TFs had extensive light-up areas of any color before WFC, so it wouldn't have even made sense just 3 years ago. Never mind.

Oh and Transfans in Holland, keep bugging your politicians to scrap ACTA!

Hasbro Netherlands, HAH!
Maybe THEY can explain why it's almost impossible to find any decent Transformers toys IN the Netherlands.

The relative abundance of Bumblebee's is of course the reason for the "almost" in "it's almost impossible"

With so many variations of BBB around, I find it almost impossible not to like at least one. Just pull through, a few more days and we'll be swimming in Prime BBB's.

A quick upadate from our friends at the Dutch Transformers conventions, B.O.T.S.:

Fall of Cybertron

 B.O.T.S. has big news! During the convention Activision, in asociation with Power Unlimited, will be giving a DEMO of the game Transformers fans worldwide have been yearning for for months now: TRANSFORMERS: FALL OF CYBERTRON!!  The game will be shown on a huge screen and multiple demo units, so everyone can see the spectacle! That's not all however: 5 of our visitors will have a huge surprise in store for them! It's a surprise that has everything to do with the game, and will be truly unique! You won't want to miss it!   And last but not least: our attendees will also have the chance to win the game as Activision will be giving away 10 copies!  Be sure not to miss B.O.T.S. this year! We have contests where you can win great Transformers items, exclusives (!), and more dealers than ever (2 halls full of them!), but now you will also be the first in mainland Europe to see the Fall of Cybertron gameplay!

Exclusives

In previous years, BOTS has always offered some nice but low key items for sale that were a cool remembrance to the convention. For instance, the "Bumblebee" stressbug or Beast Wars Megatron's little bathtub duckie. This year though, things will be very different! This year, BOTS will have a true Transforming exclusive! As a matter of fact, we're not offering one, but two convention exclusives!! These exclusives will only be available this year, and in a limited run of only 150 items. So act quickly if you wish to add these super rare items to your collection! Below you will find a first teaser. Any quesses to whom these characters might be?

Yeah, but come on... They've finally made a convention exclusive. I don't care if it's made from toiletpaper and rubber bands, it's a damn convention exclusive.

I'm so excited!!! Only a few days to go.

Allready packed my for sale stuff like Hercules (version 2), TFCC Runamuck and Runabout, G1 Milton Bradley MIBs and loads of other goodies. Maybe I'll throw in a couple of vintage G1 posters as a bonus for big buyers. Still thinking about that one......

Well, hope to see you at the TLF Expres stand comming sunday!!!
