I expect you to post many pics from Botcon.

SkyLynx scratch build

oh man, I want that magnus armor soooo bad!
its a shame it will probably cost over $200. I wouldnt be surprised

If that’s your skylynx then that is pure heat^^ make sure to keep post pics of it.

:u: Haha, no it’s not. I’m just uploading customs from TFW2005 to share with people here. I am working on a custom, however, and have another planned.

My First Kitbash Gallery

Thanks for the heads up on MP Grimlock guys.

That Skylynx looks awesome. I always liked him because he was cocky but powerful.

ā€œGhost of Starscreamā€ MP exclusive would be very cool, I personally think it would be much cooler looking than Sunstorm or Black Starscream.

I was going to Botcon, but the combination of work bullshit and absurd airfare make it impossible for me barring a minor miracle. It’ll be the first in four years I’ll have missed. :frowning: At least it’s the one that a bunch of my friends will be missing due to timing of the show around school/foreign holidays/weddings and such.

When is Botcon usually? Or does it fluctuate every year?

It depends…

Used to be able to plan for it, but now?..

Anywho…just a matter of 29 hours till I leave for a weekend of toys, fighting games, and booze.

If I wasn’t engaged, I’d pull a Fredo this weekend

(ā€˜pull a Fredo’: bang two cocktail waitresses at the same time ala Fredo in the GodFather movies…)

So how much money does one bring to this… ā€˜Botcon’? - Best stewie griffin voice…

I think non TF related pics from your trip are also welcome. Give me at least one waitress.

Lots.

How much did you spend on your last outing?

No pics = no such purchase. No know how it works around here! get on dat’ shit!

God damn, that’s crazy. Look how large it is in comparison to the original in the third photo. How do you get something that big through the door when its finished?

I somehow doubt even custom built armor will reach $200.00. It’s for a Classics Ultra Magnus, not MP Ultra Magnus. Now that shit would be $200.00…

Sweet avatar, Rodimus. I know I’m mostly alone in this, but I’d love to have a MP Hot Rod.

It’s coming along nicely. Who did you say this was going to be again?

tries to imagine a Ghost MP Starscream :amazed::amazed::amazed: … and I’d be all :mad: because it would be ridiculously expensive and highly sought-after.

Well, whether you decide to bang two waitresses or two Transformers, we want pics. I’ve still never been to a Botcon event. :sad: Probably best anyways. I wouldn’t be able to buy much anyways. I still want that awesome Alternators lithograph from last years con.

Probably more than you should want to spend, lil Stewie.

Well, it was just going to be a bash of the figure, but people at TFW are saying I should totally make him into another character, be it original or existent.

It’s pretty fun taking figs apart and seeing what you can do with them. I’d definitely recommend it. But I’d start with junkers, KOs, and figs that aren’t typically expensive.

Nothing.

I sold my extra set and made up all of the costs.

All of them.

well Im basing this in relation to how expensive that cliffjumper mod set cost a while back. plus there are those TF model kits (galvatron, cyclonus, wheelie, powerglide) for like, $90 a piece. sorry, but a small powerglide model kit isnt worth $90. hell, only the biggest MG gundam kits cost around that much.

long story short, limited supply=high cost

How much did the Cliffjumper upgrade set cost?

well, ebay has some for over $50, but Ive seen it as high as $150. I could be mistaken though.

still, no way I would pay that much for a gun,bumper pieces and an alternate head.http://www.tfclub.com/tfsell/tfctoys/index.shtml

yeah, that’s pretty crazy. I don’t understand why some people will spend that kind of money on a toy, much less an upgrade kit.

I just put the TF movie soundtrack (1987) on my MP3 player. I forgot my wife owned this CD. It’s so strange to listen too while playing back the scenes in my head while listening to these ear drum-popping heavy metal rifts.

I signed up my Yahoo e-mail address to track on MP04 shipment through USPS.com, like an idiot. Now I’m checking my e-mails like every hour. Damn, I’m so lame.
