    Somebody better ask about Overload, Hightower and Scrapper toys so the endless threads in Toy Discussion can die down.

    I don't think it was really extended....they kept the figures coming, but quietly replaced the 25th logo with indivdual logos, comic, cartoon, etc...

    The Tf figs all kinda run together with no rhyme or reason in figure placement (at least to me)

    I think so. Not sure, being that I live nowhere near San Diego. New Jersey never gets anything cool.

    That's a nice time for the panel, I'll be home from work by then and may even have dinner done. :D 

    As for the aniversay thing, so they were concentrating on ROTF, we all knew that was going to happen, if theyw ant to extend it then they're welcome, I'm not going to split hairs about it.

    It does sound like they may something new in addition to botcon tho.

    Hrmm, i'm sure in the last Q&A Hasbro mentioned that the prospect of a Wheeljack toy was 'exciting many at Hasbro and we'd know more about this soon' - many believed that this was in regards to an Animated Wheeljack - but since we've seen the last few animated toys, perhaps we'll get confirmation of a Universe Wheeljack? (or maybe an ROTF one, who knows).

    I believe someone a couple of days ago or so found a buried listing (unlinkable, I'm sure exactly how he found it) for ROTF Wheeljack.

    I don't see the point of going to shows to listen to what the toy makers has to say or will dos and dont's.

    I'd much rather be out on the floor looking for good deals on toys and comics.

    That depends on how you look at it. 2009 is the 25th for the 1984 characters. But the 25th for the '85 and '86 is 2010 and 2011.

    New Panel on Friday:

    12:00-1:00 The Great Transformers/G.I. Joe Crossover— Giveaways and announcements pack this panel with more excitement than Snake Eyes versus Starscream! If you've ever enjoyed G.I. Joe or Transformers, then come on down and learn about all the cool new things going on with both—from comics to video games to cool movie prop memorabilia! Flint Dille (G.I. Joe, Transformers original cartoons), Robert Atkins (G.I. Joe artist), Mike Costa (G.I. Joe, Transformers writer), and others present a look at the road ahead for both franchises, courtesy of IDW.

    The Botcon panel regarding Animated and Movie figures from earlier this year would say otherwise. You can learn and see fun stuff, then search for deals after the panel ends.

    Then again, easy for me to say since I'll only be looking for one or two things out on the floor, if anything.
