I only ask because from what I've seen, I hope this isn't an in fracture by me mentioning them, but 3rd parties seemed to be showing their asses off so far.....
No. It's two weeks after comic con and with 3rd party showing off their new figures Hasbro figured it wasn't worth it to pretty much do the same show they already this at SDCC.
Really? That'd be hilarious if they did that this year. There's a Herc sitting there, Bruticus on the other side. Then Aaron Archer picks up Hercules and chucks him across the room.
Even if they don't reveal anything new, the third party reveals more than made up for it. I'm more hyped for TFcon's reveals than most of the crap revealed at Botcon and SDCC.
Even though I don't buy third party, I have to agree it's a lot more exciting seeing "FP Stunticons" on the front page than "Bruticus retool". That, and the way TFCon's reveals aren't played up as much as Botcon's or SDCC's agree with me more.
