Botcon 2011 Toys and then Rumours/News

[Paulbot]

Thanks anyway, Paulbot - I assume it's just this on Lugnut's body (it's the Lugnut's-body bit that I'm most interested in.)

You've probably seen it by now, but if not http://twitpic.com/5aj7ox

I voted for the third place getter. Most original and creative and it made me laugh out loud. I never watch video reviews so the winner didn't mean anything to me (and seemed more cruel in spirit).

That first vid was gold, the theme intro part in particular complete with dancing routine was an absolute classic, haha

The winner certainly did do an awesome job, the 2nd place getter was my favourite though and it's even been used for the Canadian TF Convention TFCon.

Wow, just wow!!

I realised it was popular, but this is ridiculous. On the day I did it, I didn't see anyone walk out this early, you can see that some of it has been assembled in one of the bags.

It frustrates me no end that there are people out there so desperate to make a quick buck that they'll do this and not leave the space in the class for someone who actually wants to be there.

I hope it doesn't sell, but I know someone out there won't be able to resist.

err thats been on their page since botcon. and the price tag is nothing compared to the assembled one that was on ebay which sold for 1K as speculated.

here's the thread http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showth...hlight=minerva

Wow, i've just checked the other post. 1K is a hell of a lot for any transformer.

I've also been looking at the image on the igear site and it looks like the antenna aren't there, which would make it pretty much impossible to reproduce the figure. the antenna is a single piece that is not part of the arcee mold and something that was handed out later in the day, well after we started. being a custom part, pretty hard to get hold of now.

hopefully people notice and that's why it hasn't sold.
