    I'd rather pay these chinese sellers than spend a hell of a lot more to the scalpers. i could care less if they are supposedly stolen. there are worse things to worry about.

    woopty doo. aftermarket will be stupid. get what you can by any means.

    besides these jets are the only saving grace with this set and they are the freebie or attendee figure you pay for!

    That was awesome.

    Only reason I didn't remind Kickback about the mold was because I figured he was being his original smartass self in the original thread. This outcome is much better though.

    Honestly, this is the best front-page story ever. Especially the bit about Pete.

    The only figure I've seen that I might want at this point is Scourge. Kup was half assed at best, and I have no intrest in the jets.

    I thought Fun Pub was gonna get all crazy with the 25th anni, but so far all I've seen is a bunch of "meh".

    I do agree, though, that I'd rather pay the Chinese sellers than the scalpers any day. I wonder how the economy is going to affect secondary market asking prices after the convention.

    That's what those are? I thought those were two new BotCon exclusives Snarler for the GP and Carnivac for the bunny. My bad. :crazy:

    I've wanted a Guinea Pig Beast Wars figure for YEARS... (I too stole the sig pic some time ago)

    I love the frontpage blurb... but yeah, like I said before, as these are the only two toys so far that have garnered the most attention, if you're not going to Botcon, you best get them now lest you pay dearly on after-market prices.

    And if Leozack is the freebie... May God help us all... lol.

    :lol 

    I guess Pete and Brian are busy chasing eBay sellers to post the next set of preview pics. :p 

    Same here.

    Totally agree!

    It's not like they have much to choose from, though. With all of Movie, Universe 2.0 and TFA being off limits, and not wanting to use molds used on previous conventions again.

    Isn't chinese sellers just another form of scalpers?

    I'd call it more snarky than pissed off.

    Indeed best front page post I've read in 4-eva!!!

    Frankly it's a pretty typical News item and I applaud Kickback for taking the effort to spice it up a bit.

    Funny Kickback!! I say if you want it and have the money to buy it go for it though, why pay an outrageous after marker if you don't have to.

    Awesome front page update. Laughed my ass off. Especially since I've been refreshing the botcon preview page constantly.

    Question-how much do the attendee only figures run at the convention?

    I depends on the mold sizes they use. When I'm attending I usually stick aside $150-200 to play it on the safe side.
