I've been pondering on going to Botcon this year and didn't really have the time to add up exactly how much I'd be spending to go. Well Nala sums up everything in a nut shell for me... I honestly have to agree with him to the point of not going to the convention, but not the part that I don't care about my toys! I LOVE my toys, just bad timing of the amount of cash I need to puke out. Plus where am I going to find this kind of money??????
This is what he writes: So let me think about this... $295 GRC entry with robots $90 GRC minicon entry $130 to do the Thursday event $100 to go to the party $620 or so for the hotel $800 or so for airfare $100 or so for to and from 'port That's $2135 more or less and I haven't even bought a damn robot at the convention. So with my GRC drinking habit, tendency to buy others drink, food, miscellaneous things, etc. I'm probably looking at $3000 to go to a fucking goddamn toy show. Not doing anything Botcon related and only going to the show room as a walk-in puts us at $1500 or so, Figure $2100 or so total. I just... I just don't know if I give enough fuck about this shit anymore to waste that kind of money. They're just fucking toys.

This is by far the best looking custom transformer I've seen!! If only I didn't have a full time job...where do you find the time to do this?? gimme gimme... I'm not complaining at ALL, but don't you think Sideswipe should have been near his G1 originality? I mean keep it close because Tracks should have been the Vette! Why Sideswipe Bay, no love for Tracks??
Please let this be true!! I love the design... If you look in the background, it seems that he is made up of about 8-9 guys...He's going to be expensive to own!
All we need now is Sigourney Weaver beating down the "Fallen"!!! I don't like the concept of him looking like Aliens...see the resemblance?
Look at what Seibertron.com is reporting:
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen opens in theaters on June 26th 2009. The first teaser trailer will premiere in theaters with Friday the 13th on... you guessed it, Friday the 13th. Superherohype and Comingsoon.net are also reporting that the teaser trailer will appear online the following Monday, February 16th. I can't wait!!!!!! |
