    That's rather early in the year, isn't it?

    Bit of a bad time of year for me - falls right at a time when work is usually quite busy so taking that particular couple of weeks off is potentially awkward. No direct flights UK to that part of the US too, though I might be overlooking something there.

    Good on Botcon for getting the announcement up early, though! Lets people know what the options are for attending cons next year.

    Surprised to see it be annouced numerous months in advance. hey they're slowly learning.

    surprised it's early in April...but this is a good thing IMO. I think BotCon should be where they can show as much as they can and the further away from SDCC the better. SDCC this year wasn't impressive because they showed off all the better stuff at BotCon. I want to be impressed by the reveals at both conventions.

    though i think they honestly announced it because TFCon Toronto announced their today.

    The last time they were in Kentucky was 2006 so....that's nice.

    again people have been bitching for an eastern seaboard BotCon for a while now so....but of course people will still bitch anyways and then again it's FunPub so anything they do people will bitch.

    Yeah me too!

    I think I'll end up going. Does anyone know if the hotel needs payment up front for the room?

    Surprised they announced it this far in advance, for whatever their reasons were. They might be learning.

    I want to see what they plan on doing for toys before deciding... IF they plan on doing Combiner Wars repaints/retools, maybe. Anything else, no.

    Agreed. It's been far too long since a Botcon was somewhat close-by.

    I am hoping for some rando combiner (maybe Nexus Maximus or whatever it is called now) so that I have no interest in purchasing it. Please let me save some money for one year.

    Hmmm may be able to go to this since it falls within kids spring break. Some great guests and toys will go a long way of course!

    One could say two things. Either "even a blind squirrel finds a bit now and again" or they truly have taken those first baby steps to getting their act together in our lifetimes.

    You are aware that Kentucky is just one state south of us right? It's not like the years in a row it was in Cali.. On The Other Side Of The Country!
