    See, exactly. And give him a new ‘heroic’ head sculpt. It would in no way reduce the value of the original. I’m really holding out hope that Hasbro does that. I didn’t get the regular Unicron because it just didn’t really fit anywhere in my room. But Shattered Glass unicorn? I’d make it work!

    Oh! And then I would print out a poster of this. Because, of course.

    While we wait for more info... Can peeps list the unexciting major US cities to the Midwest or Southern regions to exclude them as possible convention locations. A brief explanation would be good too.

    I personally found Chesterfield, Indiana to be pretty damn unexciting... didn't stop me from going there three years in a row, though...

    Really any city becomes 100% more exciting by having a Transformers convention in it.

    That's why I really think they're putting the cart before the horse here. "Big" vendors are going to go if they can fit it in their schedule. And those vendors should have existing contacts for the convention organizers to chat with to check a pulse. If they're fishing for smaller dealers, the convention being in town or nearby would make it more likely for someone to go as a "Yard Sale Dealer" over if it was 2 states away. Also, when is the show going to be? Early in the year and there's no time to get ready? Late in the year and there's time to sort through bins for sale? In the summer and the kids can come and be a part of it too, or during school time and they've got to plan a babysitter for the week? So many unknowns that it's a non-announcement IMO.

    Personally, I'm ready for some convention exclusives reveals, too. I got that nostalgia drip seeing the Botcon logo on the packaging of the in-box images of Wasp Raider that were shared a few days ago
    I'm also curious what the turn around time from location announcement to pre-registration will be.
    I'm excited to see this new iteration of the convention for sure!

    You don’t get to claim that anymore. There hasn’t been a botcon in years, and TFcon has replaced botcon as the go-to convention.

    without the official status and Hasbro reveals and exclusives, you’re just an upstart new convention using the name of a long-dead convention that had a competely different experience than you’re able to provide.

    I hope people have a blast and it’s successful. Regardless of official status or not, I wish everyone there a great time.

    Enough with the bickering nonsense and back and forth insults.
    Please stay on topic, and as rule 1 states, "play nice."

    While the room itself is expensive, alot of the value can be recouped on the happy hour and breakfast. Their breakfast is pretty snazzy and free beer adds up

    A half hour away from my daughter, but during the time-frame I'm not able to take vacation time from my job.

    Sadly it'll be the beginning of August when I'm down there. :lol
