Botcon figures revealed

[Gutsman Heavy]

so a bunch of Nemesis stlye repaints?

[jaydisc]

I'm so relieved it's so uninteresting!

[iceburn]

doesn't sound exciting but will wait to have a look at the figures
at the meantime, i'll go for a box for myself first.
i need someone to get the bagged souvenirs for attendees only?
Saintly or whoever's going..any help on that??? *kekeke*

[Thanatos]

I'm mildly interested.

How would one go about getting the set without having to go through ebay or going overseas?

[jaydisc]

For 285 to club members, 335 to non-members, you can get the set. Download the Brochure PDF from the website and the package I'm referring to is called the "Iacon Package" (bottom left of page 2)

[jaydisc]

Ooooh. 2nd bagged set available to Iacon registrations as well. Only 200 available on 1st come, 1st serve basis. Looks like you don't need Saintly, Iceburn.

EDIT: Sorry, this is a bit redundant as was mentioned by STL, but still worth adding that this is available to non-attendees.

I'm mildly interested.

you'd have to join the club or pay a higher price for the set through the club. You'll need a credit card and have to fax the registration in.

This years set won't fly as quickly as last years did. Not a chance.

In addition, it does look like the rumours on TFW 2005 earlier on were correct:

They were

[quote:2db55tcx]classic optimus prime have paint purple and black
cybertron crosswise have paint white....make new jazz head
cybertron hotshot have paint gold and black....and new goldbug head
classic grimlock have paint black
cybertron starscraem have paint white and red

they come in big box with small toy[/quote:2db55tcx]

The small toy I guess was the mini-con.

It makes sense to be Cybertron Starscream too since that's the best way to fit in the mini-con.

The attendee exclusives, you'll just have to get them through eBay even if you're a member, I think. THat's why they're attendee.

Unless Griffin actually is able to get us the non-attendee figures.

I think it's a safe bet we'll have:
- Megatron

The others will likely be a bunch of Decepticons. Likely the seekers and Soundwave. But whose moulds, I don't know. I'd love to seek the Decepticon seekers though.

[Paulbot]

Hmm. Not very excited... but I'll still think about getting them

[Pipesqueak]

Excellent news. I will be interested to see them but won't have to feel aggrieved like last year, while the hardcore types can get their exclusive fix.

All I can say is:

THANK PRIMUS!

There is nothing here that I care for so no more spending crazy amounts of money for toys!

Its Bizzare but I am very relieved at this set of underwhelming Botcon figures, specially after buying full sets for two consequtive Botcon years and the giant effort involved.
