I was surprised there were so many cosplayers that DIDN'T enter the costume contest. I saw a really cool Rattrap in the lobby and a bunch of other costumes during the con, but they didn't enter the competition.
Also, when going for lunch the plaza had a bunch of knee high trick or treaters. Not Transformers costumes but costumes nonetheless.

TFCon 2019, Reston VA, was great.
Working on our costumes was fun as well, a lot of work, but fun.

I thought I'd be able to pick up loose blast effects from Siege. Nobody had them but a lot of dealers thought that was a good thing to stock up on.
Maybe Hasbro Pulse will release a small accessory pack at the end of the year.

I ended up in the same boat. Came with a small list & it turned out not a soul could lead me in a direction to seek the items. Didn't think Canadian g1 cardbacks were THAT rare…i can't even find canadian dealers. it's frustrating being at the 98% mark…

I went with a pretty small list of stuff I thought wouldn't be difficult to find, and ended up not finding one single thing from it. Spoke to nearly every dealer and came up empty on all counts. That was really disappointing.
All I ended up getting was an old Beast Wars toy, a not-Megatron to go with my Hybrid Prime (yeah, I don't collect TP but felt like spending money), David Sobolov's autograph and some art prints.
Bought one for myself and one for a friend. These prints are beautiful and super high quality.
Thanks!
Thanks for the prints, Darkprime! They will be hung with honor in the office.

This has been a fun convention! Not sure if I can make it to Florida but I can make the next Toronto convention. I look forward to it!

I think we did good.

There are a LOT of people here. It's also great seeing such a young crowd as well.

Heh, Mirage as leader?
Never thought I'd see that.
And they managed to work in another vintage (cigarette) livery. Haha.
I'm not a smoker, but almost all racing was sponsored by tobacco in the 70's.

Anyone bought this these & has pics?

Just saw an unannounced exclusive, black and gold mirage/sphinx and it looked GORGEOUS!! The packaging contributes to being a selling point too. I already had plans to get the G2, but if they’re not all bought out tonight and available tomorrow morning, I’m getting both. If not, then oh well, life goes on.

Bonus is not good?

Looking forward to going and seeing you guys. Anyone else going from NY? If anyone wants me to bring some things let me know I'll see what I can fit.

I'm bringing a lot of Transformers Artwork I've collected over the years – mostly dreamwave and transformer convention exclusive prints and lithographs. I also have several botcon and tfcon tshirts for sale, sizes L and XL (a couple more too that aren't in the picture, such as the Botcon TF Animated year). Most of the shirts have never been worn, and most of the art will include a cheap walmart frame so you can get it home safely.
I really don't have room for any of this stuff at home, so I'm happy with any reasonable offers.
Message me on here if you want to take a look at anything in person. They'll be in my car and hopefully if some people are interested, we can all look at lunch or sometime in the afternoon.
