I'm really contemplating going. Anyone know how quickly the room reservations usually fill, or even who else is going/may be going?

Saw the announcement for this, and I'm already putting aside money for a room. I had an absolute blast at TFcon 2016 in Chicago, and despite this year's being a good 8-9 hours away, I'm confident it'll be worth the gas.

I'm really contemplating going. Do you know how quickly the room reservations usually fill? also, how much did it cost you to go last year?

I'd have to check all of the receipts again, but I think for two people it was around $200-250. Once I get off work, I can dig up my stuff and give ya much better estimate. As for availability, I think i got it around Ma-June (again, I'd have to check) I know the Regency opened up more hotel rooms a couple months later, though I dunno if they'll do it this year.

Signed up as soon as went up. Also got in for the customs class on the Friday. The 1st time I've ever been able to get into one. Is the figure going to be the same or a variation on the one from the Canadian convention?

I'd definitely say hello, but me and my buds would be getting in around midnight, after a 8 1/2 hour drive. Depends on how checked out we are when we check in, haha.

With the way things are looking, I may try to go. Any more spots open in the custom class? If so, how soon does that fill up?
Re: TFcon USA 2017 Hotel Block Available (1897406)

I think it's still available. The class is still an option in the ticket section on their website. Though, I think it filled up as soon as they announced the figure last year. There's only 25 or so slots for the custom class, so it makes sense. Looks like the tickets are already available, though, so if you're not picky on what you get to make, I'd say go for it.

Not yet. Last year, the figure was one of their last announcements, and it was an exclusive G2 redeco of FansProject's Severo. No idea who they're planning to do this year, but it'll most likely be 3P.

So the $80 will be completely worth it then because of 3P price? How is the class overall?

I couldn't tell ya, as I didn't do the class last year, and I don't know anyone who did. I assume it's pretty interesting, as they go through the whole customization process with you. Disassembling, painting, reassembling. I assume the figure would be well worth the price, as that seems rather standard for 3P prices.

Sweet, thanks for answering my questions!
Waiting on a paycheck to come in, so I'll try to register next week or in 2 weeks. Hopefully custom class stays open.
