Two new pictures are also posted with pre-registration showing the remaining two toys and confirming that Metalhawk is a remold of Generations Thunderwing! Talk about them here!
Note to non-attendees – Non-attendee Iacon packages will go live next week. Posting on Facebook, the TFCC confirmed they are keeping a separate stock for non-attendees:

They tweeted earlier today that the Iacon registration could go up as early as tomorrow.

Still wonders when non-attendee registration goes up.

FP has not posted an update since the first morning after registration went up. The word then was 60% sell through with 75% GT sell through, if I recall correctly. And UM official reveal is Friday.

I'm curious what the percentage is at.

If I buy the protoform package do I get everything in the primus package? (Sans exclusive toys)

They said after today

Did the primus packages sell out?
Seems like the hype die down…..since everybody knows about the about the remaining 2….why havent they release official pics yet?

Are the non-Attending set supposed to go up today?

That should be sent right over to a third party company. Not sure how economically feasable an upgrade for an exclusive figure would be, but I would drop a bit of cash on that, especially if it came with tenticles.

If by "they" you mean Fun Pub, they won't. The convention souvenir sets are not officially revealed until Botcon.
Unofficially, well that's a whole different story.

Can't wait for SG Soundwave! Have they released anything else exclusive besides the 6 figures? Like add ons (SW's headband lol)

sounds like you've got a keeper man… my wife is encouraging me to go as well, i just need money to get a Primus package before they sell out, which seems highly unlikely…
Thundershot
That is a thing of beauty! I hope our theoretical Octopunch looks close to that!
Oh and in before people start saying the Seaspray mold is a movie mold not a Classics… Haha
Erector
They were $92 and $102 last year IIRC.
As an aside, not sure if it's been posted already, but destron23 across at the Fullmetalhero boards bashed this – if the Octopunch rumour is true, I hope it looks like this!
tantrum
the add-on sets seem to be tiered priced like 89, 79, 69 or something like that
Primal Sabbath
I'm assuming we'll know when on that Thursday to be there soon?
And after we pick up our Primus packages & are allowed into the club store to buy the add on set & whatever else we want then things kick off on Friday, or is it just early bird to the dealer room on Friday?
I kind of hate the whole $10 parking fee too… I hope it's not too far from the entrance so that way when I'm carrying 100 pounds of plastic back to my car on Friday I'm not completely hating life lol.

Thursday night is just for picking up your stuff and then going to the club store to buy the add on sets, or anything else they have for sale. Last year the add on sets were around 89 dollars I think. I'm sure someone else with a better memory than me can confirm. But that's it. The dealer/showroom and panels won't open until Friday.
