    Beautiful boxart and the set of figures is good too. I myself wont be getting them, just don't appeal to me I guess. I havent bought any Botcon sets since the beast era(Tigatron & Arcee were the last ones).

    I'm liking the packaging so far. Especially the gray foam (can't remember the correct term). Much better than the plastic used before.

    I'd love to get one but can't attend. Truthfully I only want Primal and Megatron

    Can't wait till Botcon '06. Is it really just 6 weeks away? :eek: 

    Gotta buy the plane ticket ASAP then.

    ...I just noticed that Optimus Primal's bot mode looks rather similar in design to his Optimal Optimus form.

    Although I'd never get botcon toys (unless it was alt-related). I think this has to be the best and nicest exclusive set I've seen yet for TFs.

    Sorry Airfox I meant hasn't,I typed too fast and forgot the "n't".I guess the way I wrote that does seem jerkish.I'll go fix that :) 

    Hmm,you know I don't think we've EVER met face to face.I think I'll add you to my "people to meet at BotCon" list :D
