Hope it's ok to post here, for any german speakers, or generally interested.
Made a TFCon roundtrip from Germany to Orlando and then roadtrip from there to Virginia/Baltimore area with my best friends.
Great times were had!

I’m not a 3rd Party guy but wanted the SG Steeljaw. However, it was sold out when I found the table an hour or so into the con on Saturday. They did have a half dozen Jokers left, but I’m sure they weren’t there for long. I can order online but will pass, will be much better financially to not dip my toe into 3rd party…
Zeegnome
Yeah it was nuts. Joker sold out in like half an hour. The kitty tape in like 15 minutes. And Maketoys Slipstream sold out Friday night
Dark Starscream
In TFcons past, I was always able to get the exclusive from the dealer room, even on Sunday. I didn't anticipate they would be so popular this year.
Zeegnome
I got up early Saturday and was like the 90th person to get in the dealer room (I took a headcount of the people in front of me lol)
Dark Starscream
Did you pick yours up on Friday night? They were sold out by the time I made it in on Saturday morning.
Dark Starscream
Thanks, I can't wait to bust him open! I also got his upgrade kit (not pictured).

The FP Roadbuster figure is a cool and fun one.

Thank you to everyone here who answered my questions regarding the convention and those provided information for the show in general. It was my first (and hopefully not final) TFCon. Everyone I meet at the show was incredibly kind, and it was absolutely surreal getting to meet so many TF fans, and the designer of so many of my favorite figures, Aaron Archer. I got quite a majority of my most sought after figures, stickers and prints from the amazing people in Artist Alley. Also feel like a bit of a good because I completely forgot that I had these amazing Armada prints and didn't them signed by Aaron Archer. Once again everyone thank you, and see you next time.

Sounds like it's going to be a chilly convention.

Thank you! Did they say when the Baltimore convention would be?

Dark Starscream
Did anyone at the con catch the announcement for the next year's TFCon locations?
Onslaught24
Thanks! Yeah there were a lot more Combaticons on my list but surprisingly were not to be found, so I just went heavy on the monkey hehehe. The retro one I've had but got signed by Chalk.

I think that Cheetor set is up for preorder at a couple places
Dark Starscream
Wow, that's a nice haul! Very Primal-centric. I love that Cheetor and Rosanna you picked up! I couldn't find one, they sold out so fast. Definitely looks like you made the rounds at TFCon.
Dark Starscream
Nice haul, and great artwork you picked up!
