Woah, those prices for Sgt Hound/General Prime and Lift-Ticket/Burnout are really good! they're way under BBTS prices. I could be seriously tempted by the latter pair at £30 a figure, they were the only ones that caught my eye from the Botcon releases.
Might just have to attend RORC this year.

Sgt hound/General Prime have my seal of approval.
Get them!

I thought this was odd because I couldn't work out why the advert for these was referencing Auto Assembly. Apparently the announcement of these figures is what RORC is doing for Auto Assembly. RORC are saying they'll have a wider selection of exclusives for their own con in the Autumn.

They should be available at both cons

Indeed, but I'm intrigued by the implication that RORC itself will have a larger exclusive list than what they're taking to AA. If they're taking all the Botcon 2015 stuff to AA except for the big boxset, what else have they got for their own show?

Joecon exclusives would make sense.
So would the TF/Joe club exclusives but I'd guess its too early for them.

Irritatingly, I could go for a Chromedome. Which means packing up for another Con. #FirstWorldProblems

Chromedome was the only figure in that TFSS set I half fancied. Thing is now, are we going to get a proper Generations one next year in the Titan Wars line?

I will be getting a Domey, Lio Convoy and the Waruders I think. Stretching to the box set is a bit out of my price range I think, sadly.

No, but it is happening because by pure coincidence Mrs P is going to Southampton on that Saturday with work friends. So if she's out on a jolly I blinking will be too.

Sadly the ticket choice is all weekend for £40 or Sunday only for £22 I think

Yes, I did see that. It's not a problem. I'll go for the Saturday and if there's enough to make it worthwhile for the Sunday I'll go back.
I think for £65 I'll give that Chromedome a miss though. I'm banking on a Titan Wars one next year. If that wasn't on the horizon I'd do it though.

I could be tempted by a few of those. I think I need Lioconvoy and Old Snake and the BATS is tmpting despite my complete lack of Joe interest.
I suppose I really want Thrustinator too, but £60 is feeling like its too much.

Very reasonable price for General Prime and Sgt Hound. Had I been able to attend I would be all over that.
Hope thoae who go have a nice time.

Of those I think Rampage looks good value for £27 given the mould is a solid voyager, and I am drawn to the Botcon Diaclone deluxe pair purely for the colour schemes rather than the Diaclone connection. Black Skids looks really good.

They wouldn't cost a lot to post Ralph. I haven't ordered anything yet, I can add extras in if anyone needs and they haven't run out.

This year botcon add on sets are all incredibly good, there failure to sell says far more about FPs screw ups elsewhere than the quality of the toys.
Recommended to anyone at these prices.
Also Toy Fu may still have some of them.

Black Skids looks really good. Rampage uses the deluxe Megatron mould which is a shame because the voyager size would have suited the character, but other than that the deluxe is great. Depthcharge at £12 is the real steal though. Thats less than Terradive sold for 4 or 5 years ago. |

Oh really?! Woah. I was sure Rampage was from the Prime Voyager Megatron. Scrub that then.

The Toy Fu team have posted this to FB: www.facebook.com/toyfu332/photos/a.1000929689959551.1073741828.998648603520993/1055335777852275/?type=1 I'd like to tell you a story.
About 30 years ago, there was a kind and generous grandmother. She bought some toys for her young grandson to play with when he came to visit. When he and his parents went home, the toys went back in their boxes and were packed away. Over the next few years, more toys were picked up and added to the collection.
A few months ago, the grandmother passed away. The family were clearing her house, and they found the toys under some linens in a cupboard, still in their boxes. A friend of the family offered to buy them, then decided that he'd rather sell them on to a good home or, better yet, a good cause. That's where we came in.
These chaps will be available at Roll Out Roll Call. Everyone is complete and in beautiful condition, and comes with their instructions, catalogues and even tech spec decoders! The smaller figures don't have their inserts, but Metroplex, Optimus Prime, Megatron and Soundwave all have their styrofoam. |
