Jul 07, 10 Probably Would Have Been Less Trouble To Keep My Botcon Exclusives

Posted by Michael in Other Things, Transformers

Normally, Chrissy and I go to Botcon together and get a Primus package for each of us.  The Primus package entitles you to an exclusive set of figures, which usually end up being very expensive on the secondary market.  We buy two sets of all the exclusive figures.  Chrissy will sell her stuff on eBay, and this will pay for our...

Posted by Michael in Special Events, Transformers

When we found out that Botcon was going to be held in Disney World this year, we decided to bring the whole family.  We confirmed that Chrissy’s mom and sister Cassie could come with us.  But that was six months before the actual event.  So it kind of snuck up on us, kind of like your birthday.  You barely know it’s...

So everyone’s pretty excited about the new “War For Cybertron” video game coming out on June 22nd.  By “everyone”, I mean all of my friends that are Transformers fans (family, regular friends, and coworkers could care less).  Unfortunately, I might not be able to pick up a copy when it comes out...

Posted by Michael in Special Events, Transformers

I haven’t finished writing down all of this year’s Botcon experience, and I will most likely only write a short bit about the huge haul that I brought home. However, I did notice that I have a ton of tweets (Twitter posts) pertaining to Botcon, so I thought that I would post these for anyone who is both interested and...

Botcon 2008 Script Reading On YouTube

Posted by Michael in Movies and Video, Special Events

Every year, the voice actors that show up for Botcon put on a script reading.  The script for this year was called “Bee in the City”, written by S. Trent Troop and Greg Sepelak.  I don’t normally like fan fiction, but this one was very well written and funnier than anything else I’ve watched on TV lately...

Shaking Down The Botcon Dealer Room

Apr 29, 08 Shaking Down The Botcon Dealer Room

Posted by Michael in Special Events, Transformers

Since I made a decision to avoid the 2007 Movie toys, I haven’t aggressively pursued my hobby in the last year.
