Yep, these three are not the actual Rainmakers, but they probably used the name for familiarity, as the three these are based on were never given their own nickname.
Con souvenirs up for preorder at BBTS. ;)
And....they're goneQuote:

Awesome find Karnival. Even if its sold through the club store later for that price, I'll save a fortune on shipping using BBTS rather than the club store. Problem solve-ed!
Yep. Got 'em. My first Botcon toys! Now there's 25 left. ;)Quote:

Still up, minus Starscream. Also looks like the prices were lowered on some.Quote:

Finally, robot mode images...
(some may not be completely/properly transformed... I had to do this in a hurry)

Close up photos were also taken, but only had time right now to process and upload these two pics.
And with this year's haul (so far).

Can't wait to read your report on your blog, Grif. I love them so much I reread them every few months! Always gave me the sense that I'm there with you. Keep it up!
How much did they cost you with shipping?Quote:

That's a formidible army to have to pack away and take back. Someone's going to get hit with excess luggage methinks ;)
Metroplex is so big in that picture compared to the other toys that I can't quite take it in. My mind is trying to convince me something's wrong.
I think if the two plush toys weren't there, it would look like a Leader toy surrounded by minicons.
The ones in front are Voyagers or smaller, and they don't even come up to Metroplex's knees.
MW Starscream is really starting to grow on me for some reason. I may have to start looking at ebay for him (cue nuts prices!). I assume you took two suitcases with you right? One for your clothing, one for all the rest! :D
Strika, Obsidian and Starscream are fantastic. Sunstorm is... what I expected Sunstorm would look like. I kind of wish he was made of transparent orange plastic or something. I dunno, he looks alright.
Tfsource have botcon preorders, but no seekers or starscream
Don't look on evil bay, prices are ridiculous already!!!!
Love to see the rainmakers with their counterparts;):p
RK have the rainmakers up
$199.90
Unlike RK to jack prices up so much
Only 12 available
Which counterparts?Quote:

If anyone is having any issues with their Botcon hoist, I found a useful posting on SeibertronQuote:

I notice it far more with BBTS because of their already high prices and outrageous shipping. It's really more of an, at the time I stopped, "final straw" thing as I used to use them a fair bit.Quote:

So, yeah.
Personally, I think BBTS are far better for getting large amounts of retail figures, such as Generations DLX/VOY and PRid/Prime BH stuff that is quite expensive here. :cool:
That extra $30 is quite astounding though. As they don't charge until the ship it, that's kinda sneaky there.
A little bit sneaky, but they do send out emails about this sort of thing.Quote:

They're still honouring the original listing's pre-order price of $144.99, the price that i ordered my set at. The extra $30 will hit those that have and/or will order at a later date. Hope that clears any misunderstanding from my OPQuote:
