It's to encourage people to attend the event, which is the primary purpose of these exclusives.
If I ran BotCon, I'd immediately do away with non-attendee packages because I feel it creates an environment where people feel like they don't have to attend the event to get the exclusives. It seems extremely counter-productive to me to have sets available for people who aren't attending an event. Non-attending figures should be available only after the event if there is any stock left over. I would also reveal all of the available exclusives except for the "freebie" figure to help encourage people to attend.

Thats all and good for American attendees but those of us overseas who cant afford flights, hotels, then a $400 ticket price to get exclusives, non attending packs are great. I've wanted to go to Botcon for over a decade and hoped to make it this year but that is too much. Ebay sellers will have that set going For over $500.

That's being a bit ignorant of those who want to (and would) attend Botcon, and can't.
Such as people hospitalized, house bound for medical reasons or, as stated above, travel issues.
I think they are well within their rights to allocate a certain amount to non attendees. What I disagree with is the people who physically do go and the hike the exclusives prices within hours of them being available on ebay. That whole scenario has put me off Botcon and it's exclusives unfortunately.
If you did away with non attendee packages, the only people who would really care about the event itself would be those who go as it would then be more of a 'closed' affair.
Unlike the profile it has now internationally. I'm not interested in this years exclusives so far but scrapping them would not be a good thing in my honest opinion

I don't understand this logic. I don't expect overseas conventions or stores to make it easy for me to obtain foreign convention or retail exclusives. I have to jump through hoops, pay middle-man markups, etc to obtain those items. I don't understand why BotCon exclusives should be any different than exclusives for other conventions or retail exclusives. There are a lot of fans who bend over backwards to attend the event every year (not to mention fans right here in the US). Convention exclusives are a selling point for why someone should attend an event. If you allow those items to be sold to non-attendees, aren't you in a sense eliminating one of the reasons why someone should attend your event. It just doesn't make sense from a business model that is designed to make money.

At the end of the day, Botcon arranges the attendee and non attendee packages, and attendee packages.
No other convention I know does this. Not internationally.
IF there is a business model, I'm sure the average net profit is worked out well in advance otherwise it wouldn't be viable.
It's not like people are never going to but these figures. They sell out every year and have mostly increased in price considerably by the next year.
I full believe that non - attendee packs are a way for Botcon to make even more money on top of the garunteed exclusives sell outs at the con itself.
I just find it suprising they haven't milked exclusives sales more.
People seem to love paying $60+ on a reapainted deluxe...

Exhibitor’s product
content must be at least 50% Transformers related. This means robots,
action figures, comics, sci-fi or related products. General toys or dolls
are not allowed. Exhibitors must collect the 8% Illinois sales tax or
current rate in effect at the time of the show. Exhibitors must file and pay
using the forms provided at the show one week after the conclusion of the
event. Please do not bring products that violate Hasbro owned intellectual
property.
It seems like Botcon will be banning IP infringing toys such as what we call 3rd party toys. Is this the first time this happens?

No it's not the first time. The first time they implemented it was when I decided to pull the plug once and for all on 3rd party support/coverage here on Seibertron.com ... think that was back in 2012 or 2013.

My assumption is that it probably has a lot to do with a combination of fan demand and production run costs. I am working with the assumption that it costs less per figure to make when they have a larger run. On top of that funpub had to notice that their sets were selling for a hundred dollars or more on top of the original cost on eBay after the events. If they have a demand for a product and they can get a lower cost per figure to make more, then their net profit goes up and fan customer satisfaction increases.

I failed to mention one of my biggest reasons behind my statement above, which is that it seems like BotCon attendance has slowed or become stagnant over the past 7 years (particularly since 2009). I have attributed part of that decline in those exclusives being available outside of the event. While there are many factors involved with what I have observed at past BotCons (and by no means am I making any official numbers about attendance ... I don't have any numbers, just going by what I have seen and heard), it seems like people have become complacent in recent years about obtaining non-attendee packages instead of attending the show. Those that are on the fence every year would probably be more inclined to go if attending the show was their only way to guarantee that could get obtain the exclusives they desired.
While I sympathize with some factors that prevent people from attending, I still don't understand the "entitlement" attitude that I see regarding a convention product being available outside of a convention. I get what philswitch engage is saying, however, and maybe from a business perspective that does make sense. Production costs on a larger run isn't something I had considered.
However, I still think doing whatever it takes to encourage people to attend the event should take precedent. I'm just looking at this from a business perspective with regards to how to grow this event and that I think it's counter-intuitive to offer a way to obtain an event's exclusives outside of the actual event.

I can understand the appeal of an homage to an unreleased pretender, and the first American release of the breakdown prime mold. The characters and the decos just seem sort of blah to me personally.
I think as has to has been updating more and more of the transformers universe, the pool of figures to create exclusives from is starting to diminish.

The reason for the drop off has nothing to do with the always increasing ticket price of course? $400 for two voyger,two deluxe, one pretender shell and four target masters is a bit much.

Or it could be travel cost, I mean it's way more expensive for me to go to Illinois for botcon than it is for me to go to SDCC just due to my location alone.

Time off/PTO bank limitations was the nail in the coffin for me this year. Starting a new job in a couple weeks, so I won't have but maybe one day of PTO available by the time the con rolls around. To do the whole experience, you really need 3 or 4 days minimum (5 or 6 if you regularly work weekends!) to be able to block it off. I wouldn't mind seeing it condensed down to not be so spread out. Yeah, the core of the convention is Friday night - Sunday afternoon, but trying to do it like that is a whirlwind that involves lots of lines.

We are still working on the final issues to get registration online. This will not happen before next Thursday. I will update you as we get the final issues completed.
The hotel is working on finding some more rooms for our block. I have not heard back from them yet. Currently they are searching for duplicate rooms so if you have a room you are not going to use, please release it so someone else can reserve it. Remember that you must put down a first nights deposit and if you don't cancel by the cut off you will lose the deposit.
If they don't find more rooms for us, we will get a block at a second hotel so, no worries. I'll let you know as soon as they figure out what they can do.
See you in St. Charles!

We continue to work on the final issues to get registration online. This will not happen this week. I will update you next week. Now you don't have to worry about checking the site this week.
The hotel has told us that they are sold out and cannot add anymore rooms to our block. You will have to look for accommodations elsewhere if you don't have a room yet. We also cannot find a hotel in close proximity to the event to get a second block.
The good news is that the parking is free at the hotel for BotCon.
See you in St. Charles!

Yeah, there's usually a booth in the exhibitor room where they sell recent stuff and can talk to fans about stuff, and there's sometimes an IDW panel in the schedule. Oftentimes writers and/or artists are invited special guests that people can get autographs from or have their own panels like James Robert had last year.Sustain wrote:ScottyP wrote:Sustain wrote:Does anyone know if IDW goes to Botcon, or is it just something Botcon doesn't put on their website?

Using some google-fu, Botcon 2014 registration lasted from May 9 to June 4, so you have time. On top of that, we're usually notified before reisgration closes.

For the Exhibitor's wanting multiple packages, please note that we will be extending the $25 discount for all multiple booth registrations.

As soon as it was up.....
We apologize!
We have temporarily turned off the 2015 BotCon Registration due to the load issue.
We are working with the service company to correct this problem.
Everyone is in the same situation, only a couple went through,
so it will basically it will be a re-start when turned back on.

Well to add insult to injury, we just learned that Authorize.net has gone down as well.
This is not because of our system, just a system wide issue.
We will try as soon as they come back up.

We are watching AN's (credit card processor) status feed to see when they resolve their system wide outage. If they are not back online by 4:30 central time today. We will wait until tomorrow to start registration.
I'll advise when we have a status change.
I am sorry for any issues this has caused.
Brian
Someone mentioned on facebook that it took AN seven hours to fix the issue last time..
trying again
We are trying again. The credit card processor Authorize.net is back up.
It may take 5 minutes for the servers to spool back up to handle the load but I have made the time out for the registration 20 minutes so that should solve that potential issue.
I am sorry for any issues this has caused.

And down again.
In fixing the scaling issue, the programmer broke the packages for the event so we have to try again tomorrow. We are very frustrated with the programming company too!
I am sorry for any issues this has caused.
