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.

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.

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...

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...

Since I made a decision to avoid the 2007 Movie toys, I haven’t aggressively pursued my hobby in the last year. I picked up some chain store exclusives along the way, mostly repaints from earlier lines, and a few eBay auctions for older stuff, but no real conquests. I spent an awful lot of money on vintage toys at last...
