Dairycon Staffers today revealed what's in-store for those who PreRegister for the Con:

IN ADDITION to the previously announced Barn, NeoKnight, & Cosmoo (Seen at http://dairylandtransfans.com/2012fig.html ), we have an additional FIVE figures that will be available at this year's Dairycon Convention!

The Future Dairycons!
http://dairylandtransfans.com/2012fig2a.html

Awesum Possum

Rally Rhino

Burning Monkey

Battle Bat

The Cracker

Oh. My. God. *FIVE* Figures?

Dairycon Staffers confirmed that, yes, there will be FIVE figures available to PreRegistrants who sign up for Dairycon.

No further information was given when we asked about how these would come (in a boxset, packaged individually, etc), however, they did say this: "Originally, the 'Battle Bat' figure was given (to another show) as our foreign market exclusive, and was not intended to be available at Dairycon. However, since there is Fan Demand for it, we will do our best to make sure that this figure is also available here as well."

With the previous reveals of Barn, CosMoo, and NeoKnight, seeing FIVE MORE figures at Dairycon is just... it's just....

Wow.

There's only one week to go! Register Today!

Only until I saw that Jetstorm repaint did I realize those are McDonalds toys. I have two original ones in my Legends box! :michaelbay:

Pay no attention to Michael Bay, I just had to use it

"Awesome Possum"? Sounds like somebody at Dairycon's a fan of a certain Bobcat...

I love the fact that they've based the "Rally Rhinox" off the Rally's kid's meal Rhinox... http://fredsworkshop.com/vfastfood.html#rc

Ya know, I really wanna go to a Dairycon. These guys seem like they have a great sense of humor, fun ideas, and fun exclusives.

Kinda jealous... and bummed it's at the same time as botcon... and in another state.

An announcement from Dairyon Regarding the current controversy involving 3rd party and other non-official TF products:

"We would like all of our dealers, fans and friends of Dairycon to know they can participate in our Show without having their items confiscated or removed. You can proceed with confidence knowing your official, 3rd party, customs, and other toys and materials are always welcome.

The Dairycon staff would also like to extend our warmest thanks to the great fans that make the convention what it is. You all help make Dairycon an incredible fan-friendly experience and we are eternally grateful.

We value all our fine dealers and friends who have attended and supported Dairycon throughout the years.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at Dairycon 2012!"

Regrettably, though registration for Dairycon 2012 is now closed, you can keep track of them on youtube, facebook, and on their website at http://www.dairycon.com

Now that is what I call PR!
The TFCC could definitely take a page out of Dairycon's book.

Dairycon is a blast, I got to meet Fender Bender and everyone was real friendly the year I went. It certainly didn't feel like money was the ultimate drive of the show. The exclusives for this year are unique and will be super limited, really how often do you run across someone on ebay selling their Dairycon stuff?
Not often, those things are extreme.

Sounds like this is going to be the place to go. The best part is it is closer to us in Ohio.

Oh for crying out loud, really?

There are much more diplomatic ways to have said that, instead of mocking TFCC. I mean, come on. Hasbro's got the right to protect their property, and yes, I buy the 3rd Party stuff too but the Transfomers are all their propewrty, just as Potter is still Rowling's even though she's done with them. TFCC is a child company, they HAVE to respect Hasbro's wishes, there's no other option.

You wanna win friends, Dairycon, you should have said something more perofessional, "Yes, as an unnoffical convention not affiliated with Hasbro or TT, we do allow other items into the Vendor Hall and will continue to do so."

Well like it or not, Botcon is competition of sorts, so going out and saying "Yeah, we're not going to do like certain other guys are doing" is just standard PR, not to mention it was brought up a few times in other threads whether or not other conventions would follow suit, so it's not like the question wasn't asked.

I agree, it could have been stated better. You can't have your club name printed on official products and support 3rd parties. Fun Pub has no other choice.

I'm sure there is a bit of animosity still, with Botcon throwing out an early con and overlapping Dairycon due to Joecon and the anniversary, and those things associated. Competition is ugly. But did Botcon state no 3rd parties before pre-reg? In my opinion, it's common sense that these items wouldn't be in any ways promoted or encouraged, but to have them confiscated on any level should have been addressed before registration opened.
