I'm going to guess and say it will be an image of the box art for the Botcon box set.

Hmm, Botcon set info or Seacons. ![:-?]( "Confused")
Either way, I think it is going to be something expensive. ![:grin:]( "Very Happy")

Maybe news or pics of Classics 2.0 wave 1? They said that it would be mentioned at the end of January.

It will be something completely useless to anyone who doesn't already belong to the club, and doubt it will convince anyone who doesn't already belong to join the club. But hey I will be interested to find out what it is none the less.

Nice to see enthusiasm, but it won't be Fort Max. That's the question asked every year at Botcon, to which Brain says "No".
I'm guessing it will be just the names of the characters who will be the "cast" of this years Botcon story line.

While I understand and respect the decision to not copy the image that is given out at 8pm, it's counter-productive to business. No one is going to join the club just so that they can hear an announcement; however, some may join the club after they see what it is that the club will be selling.

So you're saying that anybody that isn't a member has no reason to see what's going on in the club?![:?]( "Confused")
It seems to me that there are quite a few non-members who are at least interested in Botcon and pictures of the new Classic line.
It's a little "perk" of joining the club. You get to see something before everybody else.

I’m pretty sure it’s the Botcon set, there was actually a rumor yesterday of what figures would be in the set over at TFW2005.

Yes, expensive for sure. Either way it should be cool. I'm with the Seacons or Botcon info--I doubt they would have to go through the Club just to show off pictures of the new Universe figures.

considering the membership fee covers the free yearly figure, shipping of the figure, newsletters and the master collector newsletter, also is equivalent to the discount you receive on Botcon and other Club exclusives.
Not that big of a deal unless you are cheap.

Well those would be neato.
I think it's gonna be something Club related and not Botcon related.
Hopefully they let us order the club exclusives or at least give
us pics of the Nightbeat figure. I'm probably wrong.

1.) Seacons
2.) Botcon Sign Up files
3.) Introduction of Botcon Exclusives
Just guessing it's one or more of these three.
And the hype is so those who don't pay, want to pay. If they want to see it early, they need to pay. Otherwise all you get are our descriptions of it.
