I'll have to see how this fits with Botcon and what I'll be doing this time next year, but I look forward to trying to make it over there again

Exclusives aren't usually announced until MUCH closer to the convention. I'll bet they're only in the preliminary stages of figuring that out for next year.

There's no chance of this interfering with Botcon, is there?

Speaking of, need a Botcon where/when date ASAP!!

Would be a nice vacation to go up to Canada for this though.

Autovolt 127

Next Year i am going.

And i'l be an adult by then.

Liokaiser

That's great that it can be announced so early. It really gives us fans the opportunity to plan and save up for it. Great job TFcon.

PyjamaPrime

wait... it's the 10th anniversary again? i thought this year was the 10th year... I'm confused lol

ANDROID PRIME

I love the fact that I only live about 10 mins from this CON, and I love that It doesn't jump cities like Botcon. I'll see everyone again next year, can't wait.

By my count 2011 was the 10th annual or consecutive TFcon. 2012 will be the 10th anniversary.

Yup, I know that much. I was being a stooge. The exclusives are the only real thing I get to do related to TFCon since I usually go to BotCon and I am afraid of Canadians with their lack of decisiveness about accents.

Girl Pants

This will probably be my first TF convention, so I'm quite happy to hear it's during a time I can attend.

Count me in....again!!

Hasbro Canada returns to TFcon for 2012 in Toronto - Transformers News - TFW2005

Superquad7

Want to . . . attend . . . so . . . badly!

RedAlert Rescue

I hope they keep them well away from any third party exclusives so the can maintain plausible denyability.

n10zguy

I can't wait! I shall be returning for this!

Superquad7

If I buy a non-attendee package, do I have the option to buy or not to buy a headband? I sure hope so!

Retrospex

It's gonna be great! I'm bringing my GF again this time. She won most of the prizes what a lucky gal.

The policy of TFcon for several years has been no knock off replicas of Hasbro products are to sold on the sales floor. This was due a few bad apples not being truthful about their origin with our attendees, not because of a policy dictated by anyone else. Watch for the announcement of our 3rd party convention exclusive in the near future. Thanks to everyone for 10 years of support.

RIDUltraMagnus

Okay, I'm planning to go. I've been to the website, clicked on the link that says register for TFcon 2012 and it brings me to a website. Only problem is I can't find where to register for TFcon on that website. Help me out here, people.

Super_Megatron

What you were clicking on was likely the link for 2011 registration, 2012 registration hasn't been announced yet.

So will the vendors there accept US Dollars, or will have to get some of that funky space money?

They probably will accept it, but you'd be better off getting a stack of Canadian playmoney beforehand, as it will make things more convenient for you not only in the dealer room (and save you waiting at the atm), but everywhere else in Canadia.

So.......what exactly is this fan-made panel about? I'm going to guess it'll have something to do with TF reviews as Vangelus and Peaugh are hosting, but that's just a guess.

Sean Whitmore

It sounds interesting. I'd kinda like to see a panel like that at Botcon, maybe in conjunction with the film fest.

Psh, alright, fair enough.

juise

So of the public transportation ways listed on tfcons site. Coming from the Toronto airport, how much will they cost, how long will they take, which is the least hassle/most comfortable?

I forgot to ask, what normally happens Friday at TFcon? I might not be able to make it in until 6 p.m. on Friday. What will I miss?
