Botcon so far has been much fun. Yesterday was a "free" day, so to speak, as we did not do the Hollywood tour. Thank the gods we didn't, as it apparently sucked arse.
Instead ran around the awesome pedestrian mall behind the center until it was time to queue up for the Hasbro store. Since people did not pay me in a timely manner for ebay purchases (grrrrrr), I just did manage to get all my Botcon editions (Sweeps! I have Sweeps!), plus some goodies for friends (if i waited, things would have been sold out, the rate things were going) and my prerelease Chromia. Who is NOT an Arcee repaint, but is totally awesome anyway.
But money is in my account now, so I have funds to play with in the dealer room today. Whee! I'm looking out for someone just selling their Scourge from the boxed set. I'm not keeping my boxed set; I'm just not that thrilled enough with the figures. But I do want a Scourge, because he is an awesome toy. Will be picking and choosing from among the souvenir packs again, as well. Razorclaw does nothing for me, but Elita is a requirement. I like Skyquake, because I like the mold, (keeping Leozack-the attendee figure- for the same reason. Sexy jets.), but Banzai-tron leaves me cold. The Sweeps, however, are not leaving my greedy little grasp. Even if they are worth the most money in aftermarket.
Got Scott a pre-release prime, got Jess, Elvis, and Caulin an Autobot Elite Guard shirt with an awesome Kup image on it. Emmy, I hope, hope, hope that growing-like-a-weed kid of yours wears a medium. Their gamer-sized, and the large looked like it would swallow him. I have made people smile; this makes me happy.
Dealer room opens at 2 for Primus package holders. I admit, I'm not so worried about being in that first push. Last year, you couldn't really look at anything because of the crowd.
That's the news for now. Cross-posting to Facebook, so sorry if some of you get this twice.
