    If Pete can do a panel showing rejected-by-Hasbro Botcon proposals, I am THERE. Hell, an hour drive? I'll probably be there anyway.

    We got a price on vendor tables yet?

    Wouldn't that be something... Or something similar.

    Exhibitors can contact me directly through the contact me link. General dealer booth purchases will be opened down the line space permitting.

    Actually I think many conventions could use panels like this to make money...Do i want to see a panel that shows rejected ideas and toys that will likely never see the light of day? Heck yeah, those are always among my favorites! Am I willing to pay $500ish for airfare and a couple hundred on hotel and admission to see this panel? Without some compelling exclusive toys offered at the show, almost certainly not. But as a non attendee would I pay $5-$10 to download that panel on iTunes? In a quick heartbeat, and I'm sure many others would as well.

    I feel the same about the always way beyond capacity Sdcc panels...just let me watch and if I miss out on being there live and have to miss asking anything for q&a at least myself and many more eyeballs get to see it.

    Now and Then will be there with a booth. It'll be interesting to see who else will show up. I hope to see a lot of old friends, sell some figures and toss out a few tales of Botcons past at the hotel bar.

    There are so many amazing rare and unique items, both pre-production and production, that have been viewed online over the years. Some things have never been seen at all. What are some of the items would you like to see in person? Maybe we'll have "a few" on display at Pete's Robot Convention June 23-24 at the Cincinnati Marriott at RiverCenter. Stay tuned for more info and be sure to preregister today at Pre-Registration

    Following up on last Friday's preview announcement, here is the list of the main lineup of rare and one-of-a-kind items that will be on display at Pete's Robot Convention. However, this is still just a partial list. There will be tons of amazing items on display (and of course other great items for sale), so make sure you pre-register today for the show! https://petesrobocon.com/pre-registration

    Stay Tuned as we will have another announcement regarding some other amazing items that will be displayed, showcased during one of our featured panels and that will be up for raffle on Saturday (Raffle tickets are included with pre-registration and will also be available for purchase.) There have never been raffle items quite like this!

    See you June 23-24 at Pete's Robot Convention!

    I'm hoping this does well and evolves into a full-fledged 3 day con. Too close to TFCon, so I can't make it this year.
