Botcon 2013

That's good travel advice Griffin, thanks for that. I will give it some serious thought

Most hotels won't enforce the limit on people per room (within reason). It's pretty common to have 5 - 6 people staying in a 2 bed room at these cons which helps keep the cost waaaay down. Selling the boxset + attendee exclusive will cover registration costs + a bit extra. It is usually possible to sell the boxset to a dealer if you do it during the first sales session on the Friday.

Would this (http://gbblackrock.zzl.org/) make an accurate reflection of the cost of Botcon box sets and respective souvenir sets at the show?

That lists the original prices of various BotCon toys.

Thanks, griffin! I should've asked earlier, but have been buying at roughly those prices + shipping for all the odd pieces I wanted.

I talked to my Mum about Botcon earlier today and she seemed... interested-ish.

Booked my hotel reservations from Tue-Sun in the Royal Palm Tower.

I've booked mine for the the Royal Palm 2-bed (it sounded better, and said it had the biggest rooms), but noticed it wanted the name of the other guest. I just put TBD as a placeholder for the moment. I want to see some of San Diego, go to some of the American eateries I've only dreamed about, visit a Walmarts, etc. So I've booked Tuesday until Monday to give me plenty of time.

I'm kind of thinking of etting in a little earlier if I could swing a flight to LA, and visiting the Transformers Ride. Griffin's photo/reviews make it sound pretty neat.
