    Nah, call it "Chigurh". It's clearly a Botcon Shuttle, but not made by Botcon. ;)

    Didn't Joecon last year come down to the wire last year?

    It's not like the show itself sells out but people do need the peace of mind. These are the things that make the club look unprofessional.

    Sidecutter pointed out there is only 2 days left for dealers to get the early bird registration discount.

    Not sure how you can get the discount when pre-registration isn't open before the deadline.....

    Nah, that's the new Platinum Ticket they are introducing this year. I hear it includes a free Lithograph of the Shuttle signed by the Driver, as well as a professional photo with the Shuttle AND Driver, and exclusive "It took longer to get from the airport to the convention than it did to get through the pre-registration line" Pin! All for the low low price of only $300. ;) 

    Of course, this is only available to those that order the Primus Package and offer up their first born.

    Is there even a point for having an early bird dealer reg at this time?...Most dealers have their plans set in stone by now and I just don't see anyone saying "Hey, Botcon is in like 2 weeks, maybe I should pack my stuff up, ship it there and set up a table!" (You know...if the registration is live by then...)

    Who does Hasbro typically bring to Botcon? Is it just the toy designers? Or would there be somebody who we could talk to about Fun Publications and the things they constantly fail to do? I realize you can make your opinion known by simply not going (voting with your wallet), but it would be cool if there was someone from Hasbro for people (who are attending) to talk to about FP. Honestly, the registration thing is ridiculous. Wasn't there an online registration fee in years past? What the hell was that for?

    The Transformers design team definitely shows up. If I recall correctly there are a few other Hasbro wide folks that will show (maybe someone from marketing), but it mostly is specifically the Transformers focused team. You also have the TCC Roundtable panel as well where you may be able to voice concerns directly to FunPub staff (Pete, Brian, etc.).
