The Official Transformers Collector’s Club have put up the registration forms for BotCon 2008, which will be in Cincinnati Ohio from 24th – 27th April 2008 at the Duke Energy Center.
Don’t expect many (or any) of us from TheTransformers.net to be there as travelling to the USA from the UK costs a bundle. We will of course be bringing you all the news from the event.
With BotCon 2008 only 3 months away, the information about the event is slowly filtering out. A brochure for the event has been uploaded to the BotCon website, with lots of information on what will be going on and how much you can be expected to spend. There is, unfortunately, no registration form or details on when it will be available.
BotCon 2008 takes place from 24th-27th April in Cincinnati, OH, at the Duke Energy Center.
