New Botcon News!!!
Since there were no Uber secrets in this post I figured I'd post it in it's entirety . From the TFCC members forums, BOTCON NEWS:
"All,
I was asked to jump in here. Pete is not the one holding up anything, if you want to blame anyone, blame me. As Mr. Gallo of Ernest and Julio Gallo Winery once said "I will sell no wine before its time". Same goes for the brochure and registration system. We will not put them out before they are ready...
We have been working on the registration system for over 4 months and it is almost finished (we think, but with code, you never know). Since the desire was so great for the online system we have been holding off on everything (including the auction site, same programmer). The code is VERY complicated but we think we are almost there. You will see the brochure very soon but having registration open is TBD.
Here are some things to think about and I hope this helps:
1. There is only one tour and it will be to the Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday. There is no limit as to how many can go.
2. There will not be a tour on Thursday as we are holding that day open for you to enjoy the parks in Orlando.
3. There will be a Wed and Thursday custom class with Shawn limited to 25 people each (you can only be in one class not both). If you are holding off on booking your air because of the class...if you don't get into the class, you could always go to the parks that day.
4. Except for Southwest, I believe that it is too early to book airfare. Summer sales have not started yet. After having booked about 1,000 airline tickets over the past 13 years of doing shows, I have found the lowest rate is usually about 4-6 weeks out. However SW does not work that way and you need to book them as early as possible.
I hope this helps some. We are moving as fast as we can and we think the new system will be worth the wait.
Thanks for your support!
Brian"

BOTCON 2010 box set confirmed

So the Generation Lost has been confirmed to be Generation 2. With the confirmation was a photo of the Leader of the Earth born Autobots Spark(Seen left) who bares a striking resemblance to to G2 European Exclusive Pyro(also seen left).
I am still waiting to see a damned registration form with a schedule of events so I can plan my week around Botcon Events and I'm sure I'm not alone.
Stay tuned for more Botcon 2010 info and Videos!!!

Star Wars Expanded Universe Getting some more love
I've been reading Star Wars expanded universe novels on and off since I was in high school. Most good some bad but all expanding on the stuff I loved from the movies. Well I might have read one book a year average until I read X-Wing: Rogue Squadron by Michael A. Stackpole. I was sucked in and read all four from his series in under a month followed by 'I Jedi' a first person story about Corran Horn. Since reading these books Corran Horn has been one of my favorite characters and I loved watching his character grow over the 4o+ years the EU covers.
So When I heard about a official figure being released I was estatic. Here is the review below.
Additional info on Corran Horn can be found at the Star Wars Wiki
