BOTCON 2013 Registration Update - Non-Attending Allotment Sold Out

Why can't BotCon be on the east coast....... Anyways can't wait to go despite traipsing across the country.

Yeah, and the early announcement of San Diego made it possible to plan out the trip ahead of time. Hopefully the Club follows this up next year by announcing the site five months ahead of time.

I skipped the set (as always so far) as I'm only interested in 2 of the figures. It's not worth the price of the entire non-attendee package just to get the 2 I actually want. I'll wait until the individual bots start hitting ebay after the show and if the price is reasonable, I'll snatch em' up then, otherwise I can do without them.

2006, 2007, and 2010 were on the East Coast.

And in the pre-Fun Pub years, 2001 was as well.

TFWiki has all the dates and locations noted on their BotCon pages.

I am hoping they don't convert all the sets to Iacon. I still would like to go but probably won't know for a few weeks whether that is feasible due to some other issues going on right now.

of course its not their fault. It never is.

I had forgotten all about that fiasco. Wow. You have a good memory, because I certainly didn't even think about it. What with ALL of their fiascos...
