No, it is not a cruel post-April Fools Day joke, the BotCon 2008 free attendee figure Ricochet have been completely spoken since April 1st.
According to BotCon.com, where the message is posted, all attendee and dealer registrations received after April 1, 2008 will not receive this figure as all supplies have been exhausted.
There are still four viable ways to attend the April 24 - 28 convention in Cincinnati, OH, though.
1) Primus Substitute which will include the 2005 BotCon Boxed Set Descent into Evil - at the reduced cost of $250 for Club members, $300 for non-members. (You will not receive the free attending figure.) Loose sets are also available for $130 for Club members and $165 for non- members.
2) Energon Package includes admission to all events (just like the Primus Package, including the Casino Night Awards Dinner) a convention badge, pin and comic/program (no toys). The Energon Package is $180 for Club members, $230 for non-members.
3) Protoform package which includes a convention badge, pin and comic/ program and admission to everything except the the Casino Night Awards dinner (no toys). Cost is $120 for members and $170 for non members.
4) General Admission Saturday or Sunday $10 (each day) for Adults and $5 for Children (4 and & under are free). Tickets are available at the door.

WIN. I hope the scalpers will get poo-poo'ed by this, if that's what's happening.
