BotCon 2011 Figures For Sale at TFCC

Hmm Interesting never gone to a botcon

(Look's at price)

Holy F-

Do those really cost that much at botcon?

If so What Job do you have so i can try and get it

So uh What's your job then Because i Worship money

I want that boxset so badly.

I wish it was cheaper. I could really use someone to help me out with securing one of those.

I caved and just spent $520 on the boxset, SG Galvatron and Thundercracker, and the Autotroopers.

Ain't gonna find any of these cheaper ANYWHERE. Go get 'em boyz!

I know I won't find it any cheaper.

The problem I have right now is my funds are tied up for a couple months. By the time I can do anything about this, I'll be screwed.

If anyone has some extra cash lying around and doesn't mind holding it for a couple months, let me know. We will make something work.

1. When Brian says the 1500 sets are officially "sold out" on a megaphone at Botcon, I guess he is officially lying.

It says on the TFCC store page that these were the figures that were held back in case anyone needed to return a defective figure and needed a replacement. Hopefully they're still keeping a few in case any of these figures are defective.

2. They still have that stupid "you must have already purchased a box set" rule which just encourages scalping. (WTF am I going to do with a 2nd set other than sell it ???) I would think a "collectors club" should encourage people who dont own the set to buy it, rather than hooking up scalpers at a discount price.

I agree but it protects the exclusivity for those who actually bought Botcon tickets. If any Johnny-come-off-the-streets could buy one later it's not fair on those who go to a bunch of effort to get tickets and travel.

I see your point, but e-bay already destroyed any exclusivity ticket holders like ourselves ever had. Owning a Botcon set has basically become a "money talks" contest. I dont blame the actual scalpers. But I do blame TFCC for encouraging club members to become scalpers. Hope I see you at Botcon 2012. I promise a full fridge of beer again.

If it's west coast again I'll be there.

God Hopefully Botcon 2012 Will be in Oregon But Not In Clackamas, If you live in Portland You'll know what i mean . Hmm That might not work though, the only place's in Oregon that Gets publicity enough for one are Memorial Coliseum and Oregon Convention Center. However those already have There Local Comic book convention's. Those Get fierce last time i went to one of those 1 person gut mugged and two people got into a shouting match over a G2 Bruticus. and allot of of the stock wasn't sold I found a lose raggedy old soundwave there it had a tag saying $550.
