BOTCON IS LIVE

[fatbot]

Great news, now I need to find someone that can help out with obtaining all the figures.

Just done my botcon reg, looks like i got into a customizing class on wednesday!! whose going to six flags on thursday?

Custom classes were sold out within the hour (if the time fatbot posted his message was shortly after it went live).

If you are registering - NOTE - you have 8 minutes before it times out, so don't take too long. It isn't enough time to read everything, so be sure to know what you are planning to get (type of pack, loose set, extra events, t-shirt).

I can't see the HOF event included in the registration, and no note about it (in the short amount of time it gives to register).

Their fax in registration form isn't even up (the link goes to their Dealer registration form). And they have a $25 processing fee for faxing it in!
The online version has a $6 fee, but I'm pretty sure last year they told us that it was only a one-off fee last year to cover the initial set up.

There was a note on twitter about the HoF being Hasbro run... cant twitter at work to check it for you though

Customising class - Seriously? I registered about half an hour ago, and it said both classes were full/sold out.

I hope that wasn't a glitch, and I unchecked something that was still available....

Signed up to the six flags though, as I needed to be in something for the early (Wed) package pickup. And it sounds like fun too.

So, Funpub aren't selling tickets to it. Or at least, not yet. That sucks. If they do, it means having to keep an eye out for it later, or fighting a queue at botcon if they sell tickets there.
Hopefully it isn't something Hasbro US end up selling through their online store, as it could end up blocking people outside of Nth America.


Actually, now that I think of it, Hasbro ran the event last year, but FunPub still organised it, and took care of the admission to it.

Nothing mentioned in their email to members about the HOF dinner...

BotCon registration is live as of 4:30 pm central time Monday. Register in the next 24 hours and receive the first day of registration pin!
Do not register for an attending package and try to change it later to a non-attending. We reserve the right to cancel any packages that request a change from attending to non-attending. There is a limited number of non-attending packages and once they are gone, that's it.
Also note that per the terms and conditions, we reserve the right to limit the number of packages to any one individual.
Hope to see you all in California!
Thanks for your support and patience!

And their FAQ suggests that it should have been included in the registration, which could mean they messed up, and this is gonna cause major problems later.

Question: Do the Hall of Fame tickets have to be purchased at the same time as the registration packages?
Answer: No, but it makes it much easier on us to keep your info in one place. Also, they could sell out if you wait.

So what, I fill out the form then find someone to pick them up for me?
