Thundershot
I got someone to get me a TC/Galv set yesterday. She said it was really hot out and they made everyone stand outside. Someone even passed out and they had to call an ambulance. (she was getting stuff for herself, too, so she was going to be in line anyway)
I wish I could be there this year… Hopefully next year it'll be within driving distance.

Your lucky to get people to help you out because that line for the exclusives was no joke…I was surprised I was able to buy my sets.

No such thing.

I actually do not mind paying inflated prices. Mostly because I am not attending, original buyers invest their own time and money to buy the figs, and exclusive figures are well known to be priced above retail. Really no surprises there.
I'm just glad there are cool people out there willing to help me out when I need to obtain such things.

Key word there is "right now." The prices on most of the set will drop in a few weeks. Thundercracker might not go down since he's a seeker (though with the least popular color scheme?), but the majority of the set probably will. Have they even sold out at the Con? If they haven't, I'm betting you can get the Toxitron/Sideswipe set at normal price from the Store.

he has a red con symbol…so SG thundercracker it is!

yeah good fucking luck dreaming that dream of getting this stuff at retail prices if you did not attend the Botcon event your self…ebay is going crazy right now with these sets.

Maybe that extra Windcharger I got (cough) could help secure a AM Thundercracker I need? I hope so, since my birthday's Thursday and all and I couldn't get there this year…..

I needs me that AM TC and wouldn't mind having Galvy either. IF anyone wants to do a trade or sale let me know.

Congrats to all those who are still collecting animated! This would'a been awesome. Too bad I sold all mine! That hippy thundercracker is where the party's at!!! Somebody get me that Thundercracker!!!! I'll pay ya!
nelodiavolo
Yes, and that is exactly why I NEED AM TC!
Gimmie!

Your right…
As I recall they gave us a few names but we didn't see any real pictures of Scourge, etc… till that 1st anual Japan convention.
Something tells me this year wont be much different. So if you'll excuse me…I think I'll go check out the E3 news.
At least they tend to be a little more generous with their info.

Last Botcon only had real reveals that you, in your g1 fan self, cares about, on Sunday.
Just wait, the information shall come;
Abrogate
Yeah I remember last year being slightly disappointing as far as reveals go. People were waiting all weekend to get the new Generations stuff, then when it was finally unveiled it was a power point in the "no pics" area. Then people kept saying "oh, they're saving the good stuff for SDCC" and that didn't have much of a reveal either. Then they said "well, they're waiting for Toy Fair" and that didn't really…
hupla
Last year didnt have many big reveals until sunday IIRC
YoungPrime
………Is it me or is Botcon 2011 starting off kind of lack luster?
There were so many TF reveals last year and that was on day 1.
Second problem I have is if this showcase is going to be all about TF rime and DOTM then
Let me know now so I wont waste another minute…

I am going to have to get my hands on a horrendously colored Thundercracker, I need it in my ever growing armada of Classic Seekers. It will make my CHMS Rainmakers look normal.
The other dudes, maybe, I havn't decided yet.
Sy-Rein
I'm loving all the Animated figures! The only one I was iffy on at first is Sideswipe but after seeing a few more pics, he's definately growing on me.

Glad I didn't attend this year, not digging this years exclusives. I'm not a big fan of the animated line so I saved a bundle.
