Brian Savage of the Transformers Collectors Club has sent out an update to all members:

:

Hello Club Member! Many of you have been asking if there is anything leftover from BotCon. In a couple of words...not much. We have now shipped everything to everyone that pre-ordered them and we are down to the reserve figures we left here. We have just put into the store the last 38-boxed sets. There are no loose sets left, no souvenirs left, and currently we are planning to re-order some T-shirts, as there are not any of them left either. There are a couple of the zippered hooded jackets , hats, posters and the comic book and that is it. (Watch for the cover variant next month at your local comic book shop and in our store.) So you can order what you like however, if someone tries to get an excessive amount (our discression) we will reduce the number they can receive. We want as many folks to get these at the offering price as possible. For next year, you should really try to attend the show. Being in Providence will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you can't make it next year, you need to pre-order early to ensure you get the figures! Thanks for your support! Brian

Go to TFClub.com and get your order in now!
