Greetings from Crave!

Botcon 2011 may be over, but you can still relive it on Crave, where buying and selling is just like being at a convention! This week’s featured series is “Botcon Exclusives.” Our sellers have assembled a wide selection of exclusives at great prices. Check them out at the site and see highlights below.

Our community leaders, the Crave Scouts, have also been busy updating the catalog, so you can see additions and photos for new DOTM Transformers and newly announced series like Transformers Prime. It’s never too early to add these to your “want” list!


Last, but not least, our June seller contest is live. Selling is completely free on Crave and you have the chance to win one of 3 prizes: $75, $50, or $25. Read more below.

BotCon Exclusive Week on Crave
Welcome to our first Featured Series Week on Crave. Each week we will select a series and promote figures listed on Crave within that series. Because BotCon 2011 is still fresh in everyone’s mind, we thought we should showcase some of the great BotCon Exclusives currently on the site, both from this year’s con and cons from years past! If you like these, be sure to visit the BotCon Exclusive section of the catalog!

Crave at Botcon, covered by Radio Free Cybertron
