The fans have certainly been flocking to the fan-run conventions in the last few years, since FunPub started screwing over their customers from about 2010.

Each year the BotCon attendance/interest seems to drop off, as more and more of the convention toys and events fail to sell out. This year's BotCon was the worst on record (I'd say even worse than 2005), as it failed to sell out of...
- pre-registration
- boxsets
- loose sets
- both Custom Classes (they sold out the Thursday class)
- both Frank Welker VIP groups (they sold out one group I believe)
- the diaclone 2-pack
- the Gen2 2-pack
- the Wasp 4-pack
- the kreo pack
- and probably the custom class toy, poster, trading cards, tshirt and hat, as I didn't see any "sold out" signs up by the end of the weekend (which they post up when they sell out to stop people trying to order them).
