Man what a friggin bummer. I could pull off a two week vacation and hit both, but having them be on opposite ends of that two weeks is near impossible.
StayingInTheBox
At least I can drive ...

Blitz.
that guy on the left looks like the Cyb Defence redalert with a SW themed head so yeah I can dig it
Waverider
Woohoo! In my home town!
guard convoy
seriously, why are they going so close to SDCC, that is only gonna hurt them.
which is fine, I want funpub to lose as much money as possible, but seriously, there are more fucking places in America than fucking california, how about give the NORTH EAST some love? they haven't had botcon close since 2007!

Bleh.... I made the trip out to Pasadena in 2011. I'm not going again unless I can drive there.
Grimlock_13
Might actually be able to go...I'll have to look into it.
03Mach1
I was hoping they would follow the west, central, east trend but alas...ear wax. Count me out.
WhiteMocha
Wooooohooooo! Fantastic.
Torque
That's one expense I don't have to worry about-I'm not going to California, not when I'm here in CT. The other big expense I hope to dodge is Botcon toys. Kinda hoping they're cool but something I don't want so I don't need to worry about it and can get back to pouring my money into Uranos and Fortress Maximus
MetalicGrunt
No no no! Why does the east Coast get no love, hell even in the middle of the country would be better than back to back cali botcons
Pete@BotCon
The show does very well for us in Cali and we are confident it will be a great show again this year...

Interesting.
I'm actually kinda intrigued by this. Doing a quick investigation, airfare and hotel costs are actually VERY reasonable given this is west coast.... and I kinda want to do a second vacation aside from TFcon this coming year.
This is a definite maybe. It doesn't conflict with anything else on my con schedule, and the theme is such that if I don't like the toys I could probably sell them off a month later at TFcon.

Wheelie
One hand I'm sad that its to far away. On the other hand I'm happy I'm saving money.
Maybe next year it'll be on the east coast so I can drive to it but knowing BotCons history... It'll be a cold day in hell before that's going to happen it seems!
