    no i got the point..you are trying to compare an apple to an orange...Botcon Is not like going to wally world to grab a $12.99 deluxe that is everywhere mass retail...Botcon goes on once a year...and the run numbers in the low thousands range....

    And like i said before...Obviously there are lots of collectors and fans out there that want these transformers...otherwise they would not be jumping on ebay or posting wanted ads in the junkion exchange..

    Most folks...maybe not you...but most folks understand that there are costs associated with Life...this is one of those things...if you want the item..and cannot be there your self to get one...then You goto the secondary market and get it from someone else...and there are costs included...because people do not spend their time and effort to work for FREE..which is basically what your complaint is....

    You were not there...did not attend...and feel that the world should provide the same items that were avaliable to those who did attend and choose to wait in like to purchase these items....

    Your whole complaint is that people going to botcon are "scalpers" because they have the valid want to make some money off their time spent in long lines or make back some of what they spent to get to the convention in the first place...HOW DARE THEY!!?!!

    is basically what you are bellyaching about....that is the jist of what you are mad about?

    Dude. You're high! I had to pay almost 600.00 on my hotel, over 300 on airfare,and 325.00 for my primus package. I am here and have the opportunity to help fund my trip and get members here figure sets that without my or wipedout's help would not be able to get without more than likely paying more than this. If you were in our shoes you would feel the same way.
    Dealers had open access to the club store before general public and could buy as much shit as they wanted to. We had to wait in a long ass line for one set at a time which was time consuming. I am here on vacation as well and so lines to help out whiney ass members like yourself is no fun, but needed.

    Check this. Dealers here were selling the sharkticon sets for over 300 so at his price.... That is a deal. If you don't like it, spend over a grand just to get here (without food, and remember this is Disney World) and buy them yourself so quit bitching.

    You totally missed the point but I digress..Whatever....If the con didn't offer you these "exclusives" you probably wouldn't make the same trip you would if you were going there JUST for the show...Be honest...No matter what people say this part IS fact..just admit it...You even admitted that what is COST YOU to go so your trying to make up for it buy buying these "exclusives" just to make money...


    Well I speak for alot of people that go FIRST to the show for that..the show not how much money I'm going to make selling them on E-Bay etc.

    I just can't get why people just don't want to admit that...They think I'm complaining about not getting them (I don't want them..I never cared for the G2 design) most of the Botcon figures are just re-paints of exisiting figures so why would I want something that already has been made before?

    I'm not calling anyone a "Scalper" I would have done it if it made sense too but it doesn't...I just want people to admit that one of the main reasons for going to con's is to get free stuff or exclusive's that's all..My way when I went I didn't spend the money on the trip,food,hotel etc. just to stand in line for hours on end only to say "Sorry we're sold out" when they were selling them to dealers out of the back door...That's why I wish exclusives should be done away with OR made available online etc. after the show with a LIMIT of One (Not 5-6 like I used to see from the same people all the time)

    IF we all where RICH then I don't think we would ALL CARE LESS on how much we spent. Ah hell, come gov, just give everyone that loves TF's 10billion, so we could fund everything. lmao yeah right. Had to be funny here guys.

    I sold all my extras to board members at a modest increase. I put up on ebay but pulled them when some one made me an offer.

    Thank you to the fine members here who understand what it costs to go to one of these things and I'm glad to help out anyone who wanted something from this years Botcon.

    For anyone who doesn't like the fact that I made a few bucks to go out of my way to help some fellow members then they can kiss my ass.
