This is why I need to go to TFcon.

That picture makes me laugh, "third product party"

Hope the convention is a hit and that everyone enjoys it!

It's a setup.
...As soon as they sit down to take questions Hasbro is going to drop a giant net on them!

Honestly I think tfc on should keep embracing 3rd party

Keep embracing the thins we know botcon can't do

I hear this in Dave Chappelle's voice. lol

I'm hoping ToyWorld is there to tease us with some Optimus Prime images (or whatever it is they plan to name him). I'd also like to see more FP & MakeToys stuff, along with more 3rd party Superion/Aerialbots. But, I'd LOVE to see someone come out of left field & share a new 3rd party Bruticus/Combaticons with us (hopefully MakeToys, since I've already preordered Green Giant).

And on a side note, I wish I could make it! Always wanted to get a sketch from Alex Milne & hang with my Canadian brothers up there.

For a convention which embraces the ubiquity of the hobby rather than strictly the commercial commerce side of the house, I see no problems with this. After all the core audience for these products is in that audience. Well on this messageboard also, but in that room specifically.

Also, I respect that Hasbro Canada bowed out given their animus towards 3rd party, but in a perfect world all of these various vendors would be able to play together in the great big loving sandbox of fandom.

And for my part I'm hoping 3rd party announces something regarding Not Menasor. I've heard several company names in association with it, but no proto's or serious talk of release dates, etc. This convention would be a nice place to get at least some measure of assurance that something is coming down the pipe in 2013.

Change to Hasbro Canada involvement in TFcon 2012 | TFcon – Canada's Annual Transformers Collectors Convention – Toronto Ontario

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, and maybe it's already been posted/being discussed elsewhere, but is this saying Hasbro is basically pouting and taking their toys and going home?...that's hilarious if so...

What I love, if it's true, is that no one apparently backed down at the initial threat and the 3rd party panel will still take place...basically, there's more interest in the 3rd partys than Hasbros sh!t...fantastic!
