It's funny that they will go after 3rd party stuff but not the g1 ko's that some dealrs have been trying to sell.

 

Yea, I found it a little funny that one dealer wasset up directly in front of the Club Store selling nothing but G1 KO's.

 

Yeah, I REALLY feel like this should be frontpaged depending on how extreme they are going to go...if it's just things like CMHS copies that's one thing, but if we're talking iGear, Fansproject, Maketoys etc that's a whole other matter.

 

From the Botcon Exhibitors Terms and Conditions (available once you start the registration process):

"4. Booth Space-Each Exhibitor shall maintain its merchandise only within its leased space and shall keep that space in a neat and clean condition. No Exhibitor shall attach any of its tables, fixtures or materials to the walls, ceiling, woodwork, or floors in the building. Set-up and tear down times will be strictly enforced. Exhibitors agree to have their booth/table open during all hours the sales room is open. Exhibitors agree not to begin tear down until after show closes on Sunday at 3:30 pm. Assignment of booth space will be at the discretion of the Promoter. Exhibitors agree to display at least 50% Transformers, Robots, Sci-Fi or Transformers related items. No Exhibitor is to offer for sale any pornographic material, contraband, stolen goods, items that infringe on any third party rights, or items which are illegal to own, possess or sell under federal, state or local law (regardless of whether the exhibitor had knowledge thereof). Promoter reserves the right to order the removal of any item that in its opinion is in bad taste or does not conform to these rules and regulations. Promoter and its designees, including Hasbro, Inc., each reserves the right to ban or deny entry or continued participation to any Exhibitor for any reason. Exhibitor agrees to leave the premises when requested without incident. Promoter and its designees, including Hasbro, Inc., each reserves the right to ban or deny display of any item for any reason. Promoter and its designees, including Hasbro, Inc., each reserves the right to confiscate any items that violates these rules and regulations. Exhibitor agrees to permit such confiscation without incident and agrees that all confiscated items shall become the property of Promoter or its designee and may be turned over to the appropriate authorities. Exhibitor herby waives and all claims against the Promotor or Hasbro, Inc. with respect to any removal of person or confiscation of items. Promoter reserves the right to refuse any Exhibitor application. The reasons for refusal need not be disclosed to the applicant."

I think the statement, "items that infringe on any third party rights" means items being negative towards a race of people, or a religion, or people with different sexual orientations.

 

No. In this case, Third Party means Hasbro or their liscensees. FunPub is the First Party in this case, as the promoter, and the exhibitor is the Second Party here.

 

kinda left to interpretation and seemingly vague. I wonder if the Promoter and Hasbro part in being able to do stuff against has been in past EULAs.

 

I guess my question would be Sidecutter, is it going to have you leaving 3rd Party stuff back at your shop? Or will you bring stuff to your booth? AFAIK the only groups that actually repro'd any symbols were CHMS KO's and the iGear Seekers, or am I forgetting some?

 

My question to dealers who have been at Botcon (or Joecon) in the past, what did the dealer contract say at this point? It's a general point covering counterfeits and other illegal material so it would have been there before, I want to just get my head around if this is a new, stronger wording to cover third party material.

Not resisting the possibility of getting the word out, but I would like to know precisely what we are reading.

 

That's the actual problem here, we don't know. The language we have here is so broad it makes the side of a barn look too small to drive a motorcycle through. This could literally cover anything from "It's a dump truck with a robot mode" to "direct copy of a toy with emblems stamped on the sides".

It also gives an equally large range of action for them, with no clear escalation steps or process for how things will be handled. The way it is written, they might walk up to you and say "We feel that these Hercules robots are an infringement, would you please put them under the table and stop selling them?" to "Hi, listen, we're just going to wheel this shopping cart up to your table, pile thousands of dollars worth of Hercules into it, and walk away. Have a nice convention!". Even worse, the way it reads, they would have every right to walk the dealer floor after it closes for the night, remove anything they choose from the booths, and BAM, in you walk the next morning and masses of your merchandise have vanished.

And these giant gaping holes appear to be open to both Hasbro and FunPub equally.

This really needs clarification, which Brian has not provided so far, and which I severely doubt he will, based on past experience.

The problem is, the older dealer contracts are no longer accessible, so I can't compare them to see how much this has changed.

 

OK, I managed to dig up a few of them where the paper forms were still on the year's page. I'll look to see if I have any others in paper form...and...apologies for the wall of text coming. I'm going to make it tiny text to be less obnoxious, so copy/paste to Word or Notepad to read it.

All three years here, from the paper forms, seem to be identical. I can't tell if this new agreement came about with the online registration, or just this year. The wording here is VERY different from the current wording, and does NOT include truck-sized legal loopholes.

Here's a link to 2011's. The "third party" bit wasn't there last year, either. I don't see any changes in #4 from 2008 to 2011.

http://www.botcon.com/botcon2011/BotCon2011Exhibitor.pdf

 

If that wording is the same - big IF there, because we can't see the online version to check that, then it has changed drastically. The closest it comes is 'The promoter reserves the right to order the removal of any item that in its opinion is in bad taste or does not conform to these rules and regulations".

 

Thought I wrote here but the wife and I will be in the Wednesday custom class.

I'm sure there will be ways for the people who have 3rd party/KO stuff for sale during Botcon. It just won't happen during when the exhibit halls are open.

 

the way we (megatoyfan) read the new bi-laws, It says your can not sell any 3rd party toys, or ever have them on dispay. Which is not great as we where planning on using the Make toy armor set to help sell the g2 lazer primes that we have in stock. When do have 3rd party item for sale, its one a few peices as its from someone collection that we bought. So its not like we are trying to move 100s of a product.

 

i got wednesday. see you all!!

 

I can't imagine that the PDF/paper version would have differed from the online version last year. How could they hold dealers to different standards based upon the format by which they registered.

Is there even a PDF/fax option this year?

 

I think thats like 6 or 7 people in the wednesday class I know..hope you got some news for me this year JJ  

 

The class is just over a week away. Any new theories on what we will be building?

 

I have it on pretty good authority that it'll be a Transformer!  

 

I have it on good authority that we will be doing one of the Beast Wars Mutants, and the special treat for the class is that it will have the original Animorphs face instead of the robot face.
