Careful BeastBot, they just might top Strika just because you said they can't...
Our hotel's been booked as of last night. Or... reserved. Whatever it's called? Anyway. DLO and I will be at the Con hotel.
Now all that's left is registration.
I'm not sure what to think of this. I'm happy, certainly, but I work so darn hard every day that I lack the energy to be excited. That should change in a few months though (Primus willing I graduate and find a job... )

Fourth exclusive of the box set's been revealed, and as (now) expected, it's Obsidian, a remold of Autobot Alliance Highbrow. UNexpectedly, he's in his original green toy colors:
Apparently he was originally planned to be in his show colors, but it was "requested" by someone who apparently had such pull that he be in toy colors. (Could a Generations Obsidian toy be incoming, and Hasbro wanted this version to be more different visually? Hrrm....) Regardless,loving the head sculpt and that my favorite duo in TFs are getting new toys, but a bit disappointed he isn't black.
(Another interesting footnote: Machine Wars takes place during the G1/BW/BM timeline, but before BW and BM. So Obsidian and Strika here are Autobots, before they "turn" to Megatron in Beast Machines.)
The fifth and final box set exclusive figure has been revealed-- though the brochure mentioned it was Megaplex, now we know what he looks like (he's a redeco of Prime Voyager-class Skyquake/Dreadwing):
So! Turns out I can afford to go after all. I got the friday and saturday approved off from work, now I just have to find suitable flights. And finish the random Airazor costome my brain had to spit at me this week.
See you guys down there
(Funny how Botcon drags me back every second year lol.)
I've got some crappy news. The townhouse my boyfriend and I applied for opened up about a month sooner than we'd been told to expect. It now looks like our possession date is the same weekend as Botcon. Sadly, it looks like I'm going to have to bail as rent + utilities + moving costs = all my spare botcon funds
Awww, poop. Starath and her friend have recently informed me they won't be able to make it, either. 'S just you and me, Baron... and maybe Omicron, though I don't know/forget what she looks like.
