    Default The BotCon 2013 toys are...

    Just did the package pickup, so got the attendee figure, and the names of the other toys are in the back of the program guide.

    Boxset (which we already know)
    Megaplex (VOY TFPrime Dreadwing)
    Hoist (DLX Classics Kup)
    Skywarp (DLX Movie Dirge)
    Strika (DLX Classics Warpath)
    Obsidian (VOY Movie Powerdive)

    Attendee figure
    Starscream (DLX Movie Terrordive)

    Big pair (2000 units)
    Electron (DLX Classics Kup) (character is Gen2 Electro)
    Sandstorm (VOY Movie Skyhammer)

    Small pair (2000 units)
    Mirage (DLX Classics Mirage)
    Thundercracker (DLX Movie Dirge)

    Three pack (2,500 units)
    Rainmakers
    (names might be on their bio-cards)

    Kreo 5-pack (1500 units)
    (unknown characters)

    Custom Class toy (still some available to sell)
    Blast Charge (DLX Classics Warpath)

    Plus, two sets of trading cards this year, AND three different Lithos this year...
    - Machine Wars Termination (400 units)
    - Obsidian (100 units)
    - Strika (100 units)

    They certainly keep increasing the amount of items to sell each year.

    (Photos to come shortly)

    The only ones I want from that list are the rainmakers and I know they are going to go for crazy prizes on eBay

    Kreon 5 pack? They'll go for a pretty penny. Not as much as the rainmakers though.

    Using Mirage for Mirage was an easy out too!

    At 2500, I'll be surprised if they do sell out... at least before it is opened up for people to buy extras.
    They only made 1000 3-packs in 2009 & 2010, then raised it to 1500 for 2011, and then 2000 3-packs last year.
    I think they are going to struggle selling all of their 2-packs this year, as they have less interest compared to last year, and they didn't sell out of their small 2-pack which had only 1500 units compared to this year's 2000.

    I'd like a good repaint or three of Terradive, but not as an attendee figure.

    Look forward to the pics. Wish I was there.

    There's some pics of Terradive Starscream's alt mode on the tfw thread. The mold looks really nice in black.

    Did fubpub have a reason for keeping the at show souvenirs a secret until now?

    The hotel internet was down this morning so I wasn't able to upload and post the photos I took, before I went to Seaworld.

    I have a couple minutes to post up a couple links to other site photosas I have to go to the IDW tour in 10 minutes.

    The attendee starscream figure in packaging
    (neither main fansite has pics of it out of packaging in their news postings yet).

    The main Litho poster has been revealed.

    It looks like the Hasbro MP Soundwave is getting an advance release at BotCon.

    Anyone who is going able to grab me a kreon set and/or the rainmakers set? I'm totally wanting those.

    Yeah the Rainmakers actually look alright, but for BotCon prices I would still pass.

    Oh wait, they actually made one of them Sunstorm? The remaining non-Hasbro produced seeker that people want is now only a BotCon toy?

    Machine Wars Mirage looks good, and I love the Depth Charge packaging

    There's photos on Facebook and I'm sure some of the international sites are "mirroring them for your convience"
