The Thursday Tour is now Sold Out!
As of today, we have sold 87% of the BotCon 2009 Wings of Honor
sets. We have also cleared all of the people on the waiting list
for the non-attending Iacon packages. Everyone who was on the wait
list is now getting a set.
We will be allocating to the Iacon wait list each week (provided
that there is any quantity left) as we get closer but, we must maintain
sets for people who decide to come to BotCon at the last minute.
If you want to be on the Iacon wait list, please use the registration
form and write wait list on the top.
If you are coming and have not registered yet, you need to do so
very soon as when we run out, we will have to use a substitute package
from the 2005 convention, and even those are now in short supply.

Update 3/3/09
- Just to clarify:
ATTENDING PACKAGES are still available. ONLY non-attending and loose
sets are sold out at this time. But don't wait, they are going fast.
Thanks!
Registrations have continued to pour in! We have reached the cutoff
numbers for loose sets and non-attending Iacon sets. There will
not be any more loose sets available. However, if you are still
interested in a non-attending set, you can fax in your form and
put Iacon Wait List on the top. If we are able to allocate any more
sets to non-attending, we will go through this list first. We still
have several hundred Primus (attending) sets available.
Here are the current rules:
1. The cutoff for the Iacon packages and loose sets was reached
March 2, at 5 PM Central Time. We have made allowances for forms
that could be in the mail prior to that date and time.
2. In order to have enough for every person who wants to attend
BotCon, we are now limiting all registrations after March 2, 2009
to one per person. The person whose name the package is registered
for MUST pick it up in person with an ID at BotCon.
3. Any Primus Packages that are ordered after March 2, 2009 that
are cancelled or are not picked-up at the show, will receive a $25
cancellation charge. The remainder of their funds will be refunded
and the set will be sold to the next person on the waiting list.
4. If your order was in our offices or postmarked before the cutoff
of March 2, you will receive what was ordered.
5. It will take the next 10 days to process all credit cards. By
checking your bank, you can confirm that your package has been processed.
Later this month we will start sending out hard copy confirmations.
6. Unfortunately, we cannot take phone calls or emails about your
forms and when you will be processed as this is swamping our office
and is slowing down the process. We sent emails to everyone who
sent in a form however, email is not 100% due to spam blockers,
typos, illegible handwriting. You are welcome to resend your form,
and write may be duplicate on the top if you have not received your
email confirmation, please include your original fax confirmation
from your first send so that we have verification that this is a
duplicate.
Thanks for your patience and support while we get everything processed!
