I am pleased to announce that I have updated 73 images of our
Transformers Animated Lucky Draw Optimus Prime Gold Version into an image gallery that is available both on
Transformers At The Moon and
Lucky Draw Transformers.com. The toy is officially limited to 1000 pieces, but actually 1104 were made. The gallery contains pictures of the toy in both robot and vehicle modes, comparisons to the original western Battle Damaged Optimus Prime figure as well as a couple of images of the shipping case that TakaraTomy use to send out the cases of these figures.

Our Lucky Draw Transformers Animated Optimus Prime Gold Version has now arrived, complete with TakaraTomy dispatch case. A gallery of the figure will not be added to the website tonight, but if you are a fan of the site on Facebook (www.facebook.com/transformertoys) you can see a couple of preview images right now.
I can tell you that the toy, which was suppose to be limited to 1000 pieces is actually limited to 1104. In our last news update we announced that the figure is packed 12 to the case, well there were 92 sent out by TakaraTomy so where the other 1104 figures were suppose to end up is probably the missing link that explains why so many lucky draw figures appear to be made in larger quantities than their original prize draws intend.
More on this when the gallery is published.

The Jan 2010 issue of TV Magazine is now out and thanks to ModXToys it has been revealed that the Lucky Draw prize draw was indeed just delayed one months issue (ie the Jan issue rather than the December one) and that in this years draw the Transformers toy will be the expected gold leader class Transformers Revenge Optimus Prime. The toy will be limited to 3 official items, though no doubt fakes will be produced and distributed by HeeroToyMaker.
The image below shows a mock-up and is not the final version that will be released in March / April 2010

Big news for fellow collectors of the "Lucky Draw Transformers" as the December issue of TV Magazine is now out in Japan and it is normally this end of year issue that features the mass prize competition for the gold chrome figures from various toy lines. Well mark this year down as TV Magazine do not appear to do holding such a draw this time. Yes the issue is out and there is no sign of the photo-shopped gold toys on the background of the cover that normally happens. So does this mean that we have seen the end of these highly limited and prized toys? Perhaps. Its possible that they have delayed the draw until the January issue that is out next month. We'll have to all wait and see on that, though it could be that the competition has been dropped for various reasons from fakes being made, to some draws being rigged so that certain figures are not actually draw at random, to the recession meaning that TV Magazine and/or the toy manufactures have decided that it is just too expensive to produce figures this year.
We will have more on this story as it unfolds, and as we say it could be that they have simple pushed the draw back to the Jan 2010 issue, as they seem to be releasing the issues earlier this year.

With Auto Assembly 2009 starting Friday evening here within the UK we thought we'd give you another incentive to come along if you have not already made up your mind. As you probably know by now at the event we will be showcasing our Lucky Draw collection the majority of which can be photographed for this website. However there are two Lucky Draw items that we own that we have not yet photographed for the website.
One of the items is the 2004 TV Magazine Colouring Contest figure Robotmaster G1 Convoy. The only images of this figure that have previously been seen were from a Yahoo Japan auction and a few images taken by Ultra Convoy who won that auction. Of the 10 figures that were produced, only Ultra Convoy's and our own are the only ones known to be in collectors hands.
The second item is even rarer and we believe only four photographs of this toy exist as well as a scan of the magazine from which it was originally offered. We have only seen this figure for sale once since it was produced. Who is the figure? None other than the second half of Black Super God Fire Convoy ... Black God Magnus!
We will not be publishing images of the toy on the internet until after Auto Assembly 2009, so if you want to see the figure you will have to come along to the event and have a look at the display. The figure will be shown on both days, but remember that only Sunday visitors will be able to see our entire Lucky Draw collection.
