Monday April 23rd - the Monday before BotCon - The Texas Rangers will be giving out Bot Shots toys to the first 10,00 children 13 and under. So if you like baseball and are heading to Dallas early, sounds like you might want to look into the game! -------------------- |

Little point in going unless you A> have at least one child, B> yourself or your children possess interest in baseball, C> don't mind the idea of spending at least $16 plus convenience fees to take in a game and get a Bot Shot if they haven't exhausted the supply by the time you scan in, and D> can stand to watch the Yankees if they're not playing against your favorite team.
(I'm sure the staff at the Ballpark are just as discerning as the staff at Miller Park, so don't attend by yourself, secure in the belief that you'll be able to talk 'em out of one.) (That said, this is pretty damn cool. Not much guessing behind the 'why' of it necessary.) -------------------- -- L A S E R AUTOBOT LEADER DEFENSIS PRIME : Psychotic Completist® . . . .

I remember when Hasbro partnered with a different team to give away a free G. I. Joe figure (this guy, minus accessories) at a baseball game as a July 4th promo back in '04.
Cue the peace protestors whining and moaning about how this was going to promote violence and teach kids to be brutes. Wonder who's going to get up in arms about this one. -------------------- Lexicon: still up and running!

It's a nice perk for parents, but I can't see anyone trying to go just for this unless it's an exclusive figure (if it's already mentioned it is, apologies for overlooking).

And yes, I was too lazy to come up with a decent TF related forum name, and just *GASP* used my own. |

QUOTE(Blacknife @ Apr 15 2012, 10:29 PM) "Hey bro, I need you go to to a baseball game...with my nieces..." 'And then I will steal their toys & watch them cry.' Yeah, there is an inherit flaw in this plan. Maybe if you offer the kids a trade of a pair of new Bot shots, for the freebie. I just think some might be forgetting what the kids might think. Heck, they might not even like baseball. It's no guarantee, but they might let you take a Bot Shot if you claim it's for your kid. But that's something you can only find out afterwards. Oh yeah, for the kids sake, they don't have to stick around for the entire game. Make an exit plan in advance, in case they really don't enjoy it. And please ppl, don't consider adopting, just for the sake of toy collecting. That would be wrong. (If you can't pick out the snark in this post, please be aware that its there. I'm not trying to come off preachy & am just joking. Still, read from a certain perspective, I suppose you could mistake it.)

I already had tickets to the game so the Transformer was a plus. No Bot Shots though they gave away Cyberverse Legion class figures with a Botcon ad.

Shilling with a smile. (IMG:http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s242/Silverwynde/100_5667a.jpg) This is...probably SOMEbody's TF dream. I just want more damn Vehicons... (IMG:http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s242/Silverwynde/100_5669a.jpg) Half-expected Silverwynde to grab 'em from her hand and rip her arm off in the doing of it. (Yankees won. Gettin' a little tired of attending games and having my preferred team lose...)
