As expensive as the summer can get, the timing is very welcome, imo.Sabrblade wrote:Oh great. Another April BotCon.

Keeping it in the summer prevents BotCon from interfering with Spring semesters.

Hopefully that means attendance won't be as high as in summer, which means, for me personally, it will be more enjoyable. Fewer people = better experience. Like I said, though, just my personal preference. And I might actually attend next year, it will be closer to where I live than it has been in quite some time. Here's hoping for a Beast Wars 20th anniversary theme! (Perhaps the Masterpieces Optimus Primal and Beast Megatron will debut there?)Sabrblade wrote:That was a good thing that we haven't.Seibertron wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Oh great. Another April BotCon.

I've been to NYC once, and it was a very unpleasant experience. Maybe I'll try to go back again and do things differently. As for BotCon going to Vegas, I'm surprised it hasn't happened already. I can't think of another place that has so many hotels in one place. Rooms would never be unavailable to convention goers. And by near-Vegas, what were you thinking? There's nothing really "Near" Vegas. Except desert. I think Reno wouldn't be a bad idea either. Though it's not really "near" Vegas.Flashwave wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:Vegas I'm down with, that's a fun place. Miami? Could work. And NYC? Hopefully never. That place is a s**thole.
Ya gotta know where to go, and how to get around. But, FunPub already answere the post above yours about 2Nd tier Cities (Which I disagree with) because of convention room pricing and concerns over room rates for Dealers and guests. So the best anyone in Nevada will get, ( and I won't be going) is near-Vegas.
Oh, wow, that is cool! BotCon 2006 and 2016 both being in Kentucky. And I second the need for a BWU theme. The time is very much right for such a set, what with the Club fiction having built up the world enough to make worth playing with some more in a convention set. There's plenty of factions to pull toys from as well. There's the Builders, Lio Convoy's rebels, the Darksyders, the Micromaster Patrols, the Maximal Command Security Force, the Predacon Secret Police, etc.Flux Convoy wrote:Haven't we been told in the past that New York and Las Vegas just aren't realistic expectations? Glad to go back to Kentucky. Brings it all full circle for me since 06 was my first Botcon. It would be interesting if we were to revisit BW in some way with the figures as a celebration of the 06 con and the 20th anniversary of Beast Wars. Beast Wars Uprising, perhaps? Either way, we're excited.
