    I thought they had the Protectobots color schemes for SG?

    Granted only 2 of the 6 are seen in the SG comic (I only have the botcon comic) it is kinda clear they are in Rachet's colors.

    My God. Aaron has to have the biggest Cyb. Vehicon collection that'll ever exist. It's over 20 now, if I counted correctly?

    I talked to a friend of mine at BotCon who has a goal of 150 Cyberverse Vehicons. To him I say good luck and good hunting, I'm out.

    I find that straight up insane, personally. It's just 30 bucks, but that'll be one big shelf.

    (Says the guy with 1 Cyb. Vehicon)

    But how many Vehicons is that now, Aaron? I lost track last time you talked about them.

    I assume that wasn't just picking them up at retail right? You'd need to raid several retail sites and put some Junkion Exchange classifieds to hit that many.

    24 Cyberverse. 1 Japansese, with two more of them in my PoL at BBTS waiting for a preorder to drop.

    I don't know where he's getting them all from, but I'd believe it...

    i'm not sure if i was the one you meant, but i dropped 3k to you during blackjack... i turned 300 into 3k at roulette, then got bored and decided i needed to go drink more... glad you got something cool out of it, hopefully you can get something fun for them at TFCon... i wish i could go to TFCon... this summer is just too busy with vacations already...


    once you open all your vehicons, you should post a pic of the army...

    and i'm bummed i missed the Steppers for 90... ORIO told me about them, and when i got over, they seemed to not have any left... i ended up getting one for 112, which isn't bad, but 90 would've been more awesome...

    and i'm totally having Botcon blues... that trip was so much fun, and i want it to happen again...

    Vangelus needs to remember, if I didn't let him play he wouldn't have gotten to amass that massive pile of green chips :p

    Just an FYI, for the Hasbro booth at SDCC, at least for the past few years (I've attended the past three and went to the Hasbro booth each year) they hand out a little flyer/advertisement of all of the at-show exclusives and they DO list a max number of amounts for each exclusive. Some are higher than others, but there are supposed to be limits.

    I've seen people walk off with a ton of crap, but from what I could tell they purchased the max amount of every single frickin exclusive offered and still in stock.

    Whether some people are able to get around the limits that the Hasbro people have set, I can't say I've seen it in the past three years.

    I wish I'd kept one of those flyers from past years that showed how many of each you're allowed to buy.

    I can't speak for the Mattel booth at SDCC though.

    okay just to comment on the whole debate of Shafter. I wouldn't say its Grapple they are paying homage to but instead Erector!

    i think part of the way around that is if you have a few friends (or employees) standing in line with you, and you give them money for each limited amount, you can walk away with 3-4 times the limited amount.
