    Similar thought here, except I won't be at BotCon, just the parking lot meet-up afterward. Thinking of bringing my kids, 6 and 10; will this be a family-friendly parking lot meet-up? (As far as anything happening in a parking lot can be family-friendly.) How about any non-TF-collecting wives/GFs? Someone for my wife to stand next to and roll her eyes at us with?

    You guys might want to take a head-count on the parking-lot meetup idea, just to make sure there are enough people to make it worth it.

    Also, what times were you guys thinking? I might pop out of BotCon for a little bit if the timing works out.

    The only good thing about the new site is that it's somewhat mobile friendly

    No news at all which makes me think they don't have Marissa.
    Old Snake is next year.

    I don't think I'm going. As far as I know I am a volunteer sub so if any of them call in sick etc I might get called in.

    Anyone have any extra MP Sideswipe or Red Alert?
    I was thinking of going maybe Sunday but it's Father's day.
    I'm open to a parking lot meet.

    Hoping to make it to the tail-gating at 5:00 on Saturday, but in case I don't, is anyone here interested in Perfect Effect Warden for $120? He was taken out of the box, transformed once, and now he's back in with instructions and accessories. Hoping I can sell him at Botcon without having to worry about the hassle of shipping. PM me!

    I would love to work something out. Don't hold it back for me if you can sell it though. I have to see if I'm even able to sell anything at the tailgate.
