griffin's random BotCon photos.

[griffin]

So it's the one you've been waiting so long for, you've probably already seen all the good stuff on tfw2005, seibertron or even the botcon website (if not, check them out as well). I actually uploaded most of these photos a few days ago, but by the time I have been typing up all the info that other websites don't have (the higher priority), I've usually run out of time to post the links to my some of my photos.
THese are only a small selection of my photos, and the rest will be posted when I return home in just under 24 hours from now. I'm currently at the LA airport, waiting for my flight that leaves in 6 hours time, but only have an hour and a half of battery power left in my computer. So I'll keep posting photos here until my computer dies.

Nice piccies there Griffin!

Getting all the (I assume US only) release dates for the figures is both a blessing and a curse, I now know roughly how long it should take till we see these guys, but it seems so very far away!

Was there a kitbashing/creativity section this year? Because I haven't seen any mention of it at all. And if there was, did you get pics of them Grif?

Nevermind, cheeky bugger answered my question as I was asking it.
