The TFCon-job coverup continues...

[payton34]

There's a thread over at TFW talking about the 2010 TFCon, and I posted something along the lines of:

"Hopefully if they sell Lithographs again, they'll actually ship them out this time."

(for those who don't know or don't remember, TFCon 2009 was supposed to have the "exclusive" Powered Commander armor from FansProject. After FT announced they were doing a Henkei version, the guys at TFCon decided to make one of their TF Universe lithographs available to order...to help make up for any ill will over the "exclusive" FP armor issue. Well, apparently quite a few people ordered them, and I have yet to hear of anybody receiving one)

Not surprisingly, one of the mods deleted my post (in hindsight, I'm surprised I didn't get an infraction over it). I know back in June at the Cybertron.ca site, somebody brought it up in a TFCon thread and the mod Super_Megatron (who is also a mod at TFW) replied "you were told when to expect it" (which is a flat-out LIE) and immediately locked the thread.

I don't know why people are covering it up, if it happened at BotCon people would be all up in arms about it and wouldn't let it die. I wonder if some of the people "involved" are getting some of the money from it as well. After all, the paypal address used was advertising@cybertron.ca, so...HMMMMMM???

Here's an update from the only other site that will address the issue, seibertron.com:

I find it hilarious that the TFCon-artists say "some people say they didn't receive a poster" and that the poster is now sold out. How can something be sold out, when NOBODY RECEIVED ONE, unless you intended to steal their money to begin with?

Dude, the were a little nuts over there last year. Although it was a nice convention it wasn't without problems.
When I went to buy a PC on the line last year for some people, they wouldn’t make the exchange at the tables.
So I had US cash, I said how much US..They Said 150 for US and CANADIAN cause they don’t have time to figure out the diffrence..lol. OK. So if you had US money he cost more then if you were from Canada cause people were to lazy to be prepared. All the tables and dealers made the change but not TFCON. They couldn’t handle it. But I think I got beat up on the fourm for making such a statement and was told it was my fault for having US cash.

Awesome!
Oh and Frenzy_Rumble got an honorable mention at the custom contest. While I was happy for the winners, it almost seemed like a personal snub from the people there..But that’s just me.

It wanst bad bro..Really there was just some weird things. The Dealers room had a TON of good stuff and god deals. I would say AS good ad Botcons dealer room. SO much G1 stuff.
Having to Mail your MOney order with prereg was a major pain in the ass. BUt worth it for the most part. The Powered Convoy was a bitch but that wasn't TFCONS falt at all.

Well I just have no desire to travel all the way to Canada from FL just to go to a Con,I'm hoping Botcon 2010 will be somewhere close to FL so I can finally hit a BotCon.
