    The completed Wreckage. Only mock ups have been shown, not final figs. It's not that big of a deal, but when it is literally the last club box maybe the person responsible for making them doesnt post on literally the day after they ship lol. No, mine do not come today as I do not live that close to TX.

    If anybody wants to sell their Toxitron, I'd probably be interested.

    Since the thread we posted that was clearly News was merged here would still be great if people could see the pics of the merged Wreckage in a news capacity. Those pics have not been seen yet correct?

    I saw them. But it sounds like Wreckage himself might be considered a spoiler that people would rather not see until they see it for themselves in-hand, judging by Hurleychris07's reaction.

    I saw that. Only thing that was not shown was the redeco'd head sculpt and the character appeared in the TCC magazine comic so no real surprise as far as how he looks. This was just a first look at the actual final toy. The bonus figure is still a surprise here.

    @Petes Robot Convention if we buy tickets to the convention, but are unable to physically attend, are you we still eligible to win the exclusive set?

    You must be present to win. One of the incentives for attending.

    Apologies we missed that question. We'll make sure to reiterate that in future posts.

    I believe the club was shutdown because hasbro wanted to make Hascon and have total control. As for all former organizers of Botcon,no one is perfect and the 6 shows i attended never dissapointed me. I'm happier to attend Pete's show than Hascon given the information we just received.

    It's interesting to note, that I could attend 5 years of Pete's shows for what I'd have to spend for just 1 Hascon.

    Calm down.... you only have to avoid the entire internet for 2-3 days.
    Try thinking about those of us who have to wait 2-3 weeks for ALL of the subscription toys (despite pleas to have international toys sent out a week early to get them at the same time as Americans)... imagine if you wanted to keep the mystery of the bonus toys, you'd have to avoid facebook, TFW, Twitter, etc for 2-3 weeks.
    Instead of a self-entitled dummy-spit, think about others like me who never once benefited from paying great sums of money for the incentive of "mystery" toys or surprise assortments. We never once had the surprise element of opening up a box and being excited about not knowing it was coming, and yet we paid more money than you did, for these toys.

    If you have some "behind the scenes" details like colour sheets (like the ones shown at BotCon) or creator thoughts behind various figures (other than what you are wanting to hold back until your robocon), post some of those up with your gallery of combiner photos as a new news topic, and I would expect/hope it be front-paged as news (and not just buried/merged into the existing news topic). If it does get buried, there are other fansites who would be happy to front-page creator details like these.

    It was actually an international club... it was just treated like an American (only) club by FunPub, and some of its members.

    Turns out there are a whole bunch of unused Transformers Animated concepts (and Shattered Glass)!

    These very well could have been developed for BotCon 2011 had they not decided upon the Stunticons.

    There will be a lot more shown at Pete's Robot Convention in June! Anyways, check out the preview!
