    Due to logistical issues, they had to move the panel to today for the reveal

    Does anyone know if and where the Archecore Botcon exclusive Freki Wolf will be available online after the con for those of us in other countries?

    Had a pretty decent haul. I was excited to see plenty of beast box there. It is such a great line and hope it keeps coming to the conventions. I was happy to find bins of mugenbine and some other obscure Japanese stuff like the tomica line.
    my only disappointment was not being able to buy archcore stuff. That was one reason I went. I liked seeing it on display. It is an awesome line but would had liked better to gotten some.

    the con itself was fine. I brought my whole family. My 6yo wasn’t into it much. My 9yo enjoyed it. I missed the one panel I was interested in but most didn’t apply to me. I got a chance to see Robby Musso at his booth and his new project. Worth checking out if you are still there.

    I don’t know if any archecore stuff might still show but I’m leaving in the morning so sadly I missed out of it does.

    I’d asked around about the Archecore stuff and no one was really sure. The Agabyss fellas on Friday thought that maybe it might be out Saturday but I never saw anything outside of the stuff in the case this morning before I left to head home. The stuff is at retailers from looking. I just know I would’ve pulled the trigger on the semi if it had been at the con. The trailer/body armor is in stock at TCP though.

    Saturday midday they said they would not have it out then either. I just went ahead and preordered the semi from bbts. Might grab the armor from showz.

    for those exploring the area after the con Mckays has used toys plus of course movies and books too. I grabbed some cds for the ride home to hear something new.

    Anyone happen to know if those test shot guys sell them online? Saw some glorious looking TR misfires in alt colours in someone else's post on Facebook, they didn't get a name

    Anyone know the contact for “Richard Music and Entertainment” in KS? I can’t find them on google but that is the info on the receipt from the vendor. One of my toys has an issue and I need to see if they can resolve it.

    Got home today around 2pm. Took tons of pics of EVERY booth and vendor, artist, and talent. Didn't sleep worth a shit on the hard ass beds at the Hilton so we are tired. I'm off tomorrow and will take time to upload everything. Lots of good pics with names of vendors in pics that had visible signage.
    Also, I finally completed my g1 collection at this con!!! :buttrock :buttrock :buttrock :buttrock

    Saw a couple of questions regarding the Archecore exclusive. BotCon attendees had the opportunity to preorder early from Agabyss booth at the show. Should go up on their site sometime this week. No time frame on when.
    Hope that helps!

    Can anybody tell me what is in the Botcon vol.2 book? I thought that they got through all the Botcons in the first volume. What is left for a vol.2?
