Dear Hasbro,

Please stop making exclusives that I want and crave. You cause me pain in my wallet.

I NEED
MY BOATS.

Yeah, and this confirms the earlier rumors there's supposed to be THREE attendee-exclusive packs this year, as opposed to the normal two:

Attendee pack 1: Banzaitron & Skyquake
Attendee pack 2: 3 Sweeps
Attendee freebie: Leozack
Attendee pack 3 "Botcons past": Razorclaw (from '06 comic) & Elita-One (from '07 comic)

Well Beastbot, I'll charge in with you and spend lots of monies on the awesomeness. I love the look of Banzaitron

Annnnnnnd.......... PETER CULLEN IS JOINING US AGAIN!!!! MWAHAHAHA!! I need to prepare a list of awkward things for him to say in Optimus' voice

Hey Silver, I just want to get our wednesday plan finalized before you head out Saturday. I'm totally cool going for ink while jetlagged! I'll be getting to the hotel around 3. I see the Universal Studios tour runs pretty late though - are we going to have time Wednesday night? I can meet you at the convention center at 7 when it gets back, and if it looks like we have time before the package pick-up we can go then?

So I see arrival info for Silver, Beastbot, and me; didn't we have a fourth?

OK Nurann, what I'll do is have a bit of a scout around in the sunday-monday period and locate us a good ink parlour. Hopefully I can find one that stay open fairly late and is to our standards

If I do the we can get it done that night otherwise I'll look at the timetable and find a spot that should slot in nicely. Either way, we will get it done

As for the fourth, he is none other than the dastardly Baron Fel #cue orchestral rise#

So Baron. You out there? Let us know what your particular plans will be

I'm getting excited FOR you peeps. While you'll be off gallavanting in TF fan heaven, I'll be writing exams in cold, silent halls. Remember me! :p

Anyway, really I'm just posting to ask you to take loads of photos and when you're back, could one of you write up and send me a Botcon report to add to the site's archives? That'd be swell. Have fun, everyone! I'm sure it will be a blast.

I am out here just very busy. To busy.

I'll not be able to arrive till about 9:40 PM on Thursday. Do to school and work :/

Beyond that, I leave on Monday at 8:20 (aka way to early in the morning.)

I'm hoping to go to several panels and running about looking at things. I wish I had more money though. Darn college draining my finances. (and my energy in general.)

EDIT:

Awesome sauce! THe full schedule has been posted and the MST3K is on Friday night so I miss practically nothing. (Unless one of the toys sells out Thursday night then I shall be sad.

In fact if anybody reads this and doesn't want the sets, if someone can pick up an extra Banzai-tron set that would be awesome.
