    Although Zazzle screwed me with the CybCon 2013 shirt getting denied, and then letting me do one now, which is way too late to get on time... WE CAN MAKE OUR OWN! For the next week, you can download the high res file of Psychoshi's artwork and make your own shirt! Grab it while it's hot!

    Free large file exchange service without size limits

    I picked up a light color shirt and a dark one to try both kinds of iron-ons. I'll wear whichever looks better. :) 

    You can buy the Zazzle one, if you want. A light color might ship in time, but dark colors take a week to process. Or order one for future wearing, just 'cus the art is frickin AWESOME! :)

    Hmm, Beast Machines Scavenger in G1 colors? A surprise for the auction table maybe?

    You wish. That was the very first CybCon custom toy, by Dave 'Zobovor' Edwards over 10 years ago. The only way you'll see one of those outside of my CybCon exclusives display case (there every year!) will be if someone REALLY crazy wants to try and cash in... but the few I know who have them won't let them go, or don't come to CybCon any more.

    Luck with the convention. For all those going, enjoy. Still fondly remember my first Botcon. And good luck on the retirement Greg. Much props keeping it going for 14 years.

    Also apologies, but quick ask for anyone who's gone past years, 2011 in particular. That or anyone going this year and happens across one on a table... Anyone who has the 2011 Cybcon Actionmaster Ravage exclusive and willing to part with, give me a ring. I have 5 of the 6 figures from this set, with the white one on the way. Just missing this one. Throw myself at mercy of court

    Thanks, Fred! It should be a good time! :) 

    You didn't keep one of each exclusive for yourself? Silly man. ;-)

    As I head out the door to the event, I want to give a reminder that Cybcon is today!

    I had a great time as always yesterday. Thank you, Greg, for all the effort you have put into making this happen over the years.

    Another awesome time this year. Spent way too much, but oh well. :p 
    Also was able to hit up the Gig Harbor Target on the way home and grab Darksteel (they were fully stocked of Wave 1 of the Predacons Rising on Saturday if anyone is looking).

    IMO, the exclusive was one of the best Cybcon has ever had. My blaze sabers looks great on Thundertron and a now dual-wielding Voyager BH Optimus.

    It was a fantastic way to finish things up Greg. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say thanks a million for all the hard work you and everyone else has done over the years. We'll all look forward to seeing you take a break at next year's CybFest. :thumb

    Thanks for all the well wishes, not to mention the generous gift from so many of you.
    It was a great time, though bittersweet in many ways.

    LONG LIVE CYBFEST!
