Guess who is the first ROTF custom????

Yeah, this is exactly why I wanted to customize OP.

Custom Tranformers Contest Botcon 09

This is crazy. This transformers is made out of paper. I couldn't believe it. But it's true. Check out this amazing thing:





Also, this next one is great custom. Amazing, and I have seen it sold on eBay.


The rest of the custom. COOL:

The hunt begins

Of course you wanted to see Peter Cullen (OP). Besides that, I wanted to get as much figures as possible for customizing and collecting. So, there went the hunt for Autobot and Decepticon (the ROTF series). For sure that I could not find Optimus Prime and The Fallen. A booth were selling OP for double. Hmmmm.......$80???????????....WOW............

On the way back home, I went around and try to find the FALLEN. This dude is so rare, and I only find one out of 5 places I went to. So if you found him, GET 'em. Finally I got what I wanted, check it out:
Now it's time for customizing............

Transformers Figures at Botcon 2009

I was so so so so so disappointed that I could not get those Botcon Exclusive figures. Grrrrrrr....... They were sold out. The same thing also happened with Optimus Prime and The Fallen. I could not believe that I could not get them. It's not fair .....(crying.....)........

But I was happy enough to finally see this Monster. OMG.............this guy is HUGE. .........it's amazing 6 different contructicon combiners. I really can't wait for this Bad Boy to come out in August (If I am not mistaken). Also, I heard that this could be going about $100. Which, I really think it's not bad at all for the complexicity and for 6 figures.



Check out below pictures, you probably have seen these figures:

Botcon 2009 Pasadena

Botcon 2009 was great. The robot convention was held in Pasadena May 28-31. I finally decided to go check them out at the last minute. I anticipated a big convention as we're talking about Transformers ROTF were coming out a month after. Although I expected more, it was still a great convention. I had fun. So, let see how fun it was. Someone told me that I should go early on Saturday as it was open to public on that day.




Unfortunately, I didn't listen. When I got there, and looked, and thought....."Oh, the line is not to bad". As I saw the line going to the corner, and I thought that I would get in within 30 minutes. Check out the picture, this line was besides Pasadena Convention. It doesn't look too back, does it???


Ok, now, as I go along that line to the back. I glanced to my left (across the building....I would say 3 blocks), and I realized that there was another line forming there. That couldn't be the same line to botcon, could it? I thought there is no way, as it was about 2 to 3 blocks away. Not only that, but the line is actually forming a U form. If you see the picture, the line went all the way back there, then to the left all the way til the street, then going back up again to a traffic light. So, I had to double check with the staff, and sure enough it was the same freaking line. YIKKESSSS!!!.... so here is the rest of the line:



Well, guess how long I waited in that line?
30 minutes???? ............Wrong............
1 hour??????????......Wrong...............
1 hour and 30 minutes?............Wrong..........
2 hours?????............nope..........
2 hours and 30 minutes????........it's about right.....

SO yeah......it's almost 3 hours in the line. But hey, it was a great, cool, and fantastic experience. It was lucky enough to leave around the area. I met several people there in the line and they told me the came from outside California. And I met a group of people from Sacramento, and they drove to Pasadena from 4 in the morning. WOW........................
