    Shibamura Prime- Wildrider was $120. I think I got the last one
    Kingjace- Yes I was able to score two of the Beast headmasters the lion and tiger. I'll try to get pics of the beast mode.
    Kage- Shibamura Prime was giving the patches out to board members.

    I was just wondering, I've never been to Botcon, but I've seen the LE figures, but I've only seen what people want for them. How much are they when you actually but them at the con? I figure I need to know somewhat of an average, or a ball park so I can save me a nice bundle and head down for the 2010 Botcon. If anyone can help me with that, it'd be very appreciated.

    Ah, typo. Though "buggered" apparently has another meaning besides "bugged" I'm not aware of.

    *EDIT:* Ah. "Bugger off". I gets it now.

    Spent it at ROTF in stores (only a few of those toys-- the Wave 2 (or 3?) deluxes-- I got at Botcon). But I got it the same weekend as Botcon, so it counts as my Botcon haul.

    Usually there's a "smaller" attendee set arouind $50-65 and a "larger" set around $80-100. This year they sorta threw that outta the park, though, with not only three attendee exclusive packs, but surprisingly cheaper prices than last year, relatively-- $50-ish for the three Sweeps, $70-ish for Skyquake/Banzai-Tron, and $80-ish for Razorclaw & Elita-One.

    Set aside roughly $200 for attendee exclusives if you want one of each and you should be fine.
