The previous thread has gotten bulky beyond reason.
With Registration going live it's time for a new thread so others won't feel the need to catch up on 90 pages.

Have at it!

Hey! Fun Pub! Take my money!

I'm confused. Was there going to be a figure revealed today?

I have nothing to say yet, but I wanna be notified about responses, and so I offer this:

So Botcon is a place to get good head, then.

IT'S UP!!!

And I think I got in the class, for Thursday. WOO!

Incidentally, number 4473.

Registered! With the Customization Class! Invoice Number: 4498! (Whatever that number means.)

Well there went my entire paycheck.

But FIRST custom class EVER!

Who else is going to be there Wednesday?

I had 4479.

...but the on-screen receipt of what I purchased was BLANK.

SO WHAT THE HELL.

Do I have to do this again? Did it go through?

Makes me wonder about the rumored Kick-Off now.

Oh. Attendees only. Welp. I'll wait.

What I was thinking myself

Now to buy my plane ticket, and renew my passport so my boney Canuckian ass will be allowed on Texan soil.

God damn, I'd better have gotten that customization class.

...I'm trying to do it again just in case, but the selection iframe(?) at the bottom are 404ing.

Surprised the Thursday Class is sold out already. Got in on the Wednesday one. Our first look at Ultra Magnus and Metalhawk too (Metalhawk is Thunderwing with a human head ).

I had 4567. Nice that they sent e-mails to the club members before the tweet.

Randy

Damn, the Thursday custom class went fast. Got in the Wednesday class, however.

One thing I don't understand - what do they mean by the class being from 9am to 5pm. I can't imagine it taking 8 hours to put paint and assemble a TF.

God damn.

I better have gotten in. I put in my damn card and everything, and then the damn receipt page was blank of the options I'd chosen.

WE'RE CUSTOM BUDDIES!

Wow, Metalhawk's jet mode is a bit messy color-wise, IMO.
Robot mode is gorgeous, though.

So when did this actually go online, the message I got in my e-mail was at 6:25?

Randy

How in the WORLD did the Thursday class fill up in the 1 minute it took me to get to that screen?

I was able to get the Wednesday class, but still, cripes.

Plus the credit card I tried to use first blew a fuse on me for no reason and I had to go through the whole registration process again with a minute left to my time clock. I feel like a nerdy Lance Armstrong now.

Glad I got Thursday when I did then! One less day I have to miss work for this trip!

And good catch! I was in such a hurry to register that I ignored all the pics. I wonder if FunPub realizes they've sorta let the cat out of the bag on the remaining toy reveals now.

And Ultra Magnus has red forearms. That settles it, I'm-a Maketoy upgrading him.

More than just Custom Buddies...

Randy

I think I'll save up and go next year. It'll be my first Botcon in a long time.

That Ultra Magnus/Powered Convoy is SWEET!

Thursday is sold out already? DAAAAAYUM. Good thing I moved fast there.

Yeah, it definitely does.

Got an email back. I'm good.

Oh my god, I was having a heart attack.

GOOD TIMES.

Is it just me, or is the chest on Ultra Magnus painted to look like a blue skull? I don't give a lick about the character, but if so, even I gotta admit, that's pretty cool!

I can't rightly be too mad since things ended up working out for me, but jesus, they have GOT to get rid of that timer system. Or at LEAST have the damn thing reset if you're forced to start over.

Speaking of the custom classes, I thought there were 4 this year. Why only two selections? Will all the Wednesday and Thursday people be divided into morning and night groups?

Damn! I really wanted to do the class this year. Maybe they need to add another or open up more spots? That was freaking fast!

Did you send an email asking about it or something? 'Cause I haven't gotten any sort of confirmation email...

Did classes sell out for both days already?

Yes.

Woo! Confirmation that I'm in for Thursday!


(And apparently, I'm 0 years old. Hey! I have a reputation as a geezer around these parts to maintain! ::Shakes cane:: )

Registered like a madman and got through here, for me and Travis both. Wednesday customization classes for us as well (should be a lot of fun with everyone there!), and OMG SO MUCH MONEY ON MY CREDIT CARD AT ONCE. Can't wait to get toys early and skip straight to the souvenir lines during the official beginning of Linecon.

I'm curious if anyone here decided to go for the Golden Ticket.

I'm hoping that the fact that my invoice number is about 25 higher than yours simply means that they haven't reached mine to send a confirmation email yet, 'cause there's still nothing in my email inbox. I was so excited that my order went through for the Thursday class, so since I haven't gotten a confirmation yet, I really hope that nothing went wrong with my registration...

Slightly larger files found.

I'd kinda like to meet the guy who's got so much F-U money that he thinks $300 is worth being slightly less inconvenienced than everyone else.

Meet him, hell, I'd like to be his best friend.

Okay, now I'm definitely thinking blue skull chest for Magnus. But this also reminded me that Overlord has one molded into his chest as well. Maybe they'll team up and be blue skull chest buddies?

And I just received my email that my registration has been received and approved! Woo-hoo!

Maybe it's in your spam folder? happens to me sometimes. I'd check because those confirmations came in crazy fast.

EDIT: Never mind, I just saw your post above mine. Great!

both customization classes showing full, and i was into the registration less than 10 minutes after getting the email notification. what gives? also, i apparently timed out at the exact second i pressed "process order"... also, seems like Firefox didn't like reloading the initial drop down on the package page, since when i went back into the system, i was getting some weird "Accufind ERROR Page":
ERROR: Sorry, the page that you are trying to access has resulted in an error.

Go figure. hooray for Opera to the rescue, i suppose.

Man that set is like the blue patrol.

Every year the initial relief of getting past the registration process slowly gives way to the fear from not having received an email confirmation yet.

One of these years I'll remember and stop getting so excited so fast.

Good it isn't just me. We really need some type of automated e-mail to indicate what we submitted. Then we could be sure it was actually submitted.

from what i can tell, metalhawk does indeed look worse than i could've possibly imagined. guess i'll be picking up a hot rod/cyclonus 2pack from ross to do metalhawk properly

i saw my registration screen receipt, but no email confirmation yet. you guys are freaking me out!

You did? What did your email say? I still haven't received anything. I wish they'd do a Friday class. Very little happens for my interest on Friday. We really wanted to finally be able to attend a customization class this year. We're arriving on Wed so Thur is the only day we could do it.
