New TV Magazine Lucky Draws of Henkei Convoy and Galvatron

New TV Magazine Lucky Draws

Pics?

interesting...i hope that they are done in some funky colors

Is it the Japaness releasing of the Ultimate Battle pack?

can we enter! I hope megs is a black repaint! wouldn't everyone be mad if prime is blue & white, perfect for powermaster armor!

Optimus will be in Shattered Glass colors!

You guys all know what recent TV Magazine LDs are like

AFAIK they are both gold chromed, limited to 5. I'll see if I can get a scan somewhere or someone in Japan might come up with one?

aww...plain gold chrome

i mean it's nice and all but they need to go back to those crazy color schemes

like make prime green and pink with a splash of purple...you know something a kid would do

I'm betting they are just solid gold..

hmm, my guess is there is a chance they'll go silverfor Megatron like they have done in the past

I can't wait for pics.

sweet. time to email some connects

Oooh lucky draw henkei convoy - that got my attention.

Pleas be chromed out, please be chromed out.

A black chromed nemesis prime?

that would be sick but it would probably be gold

so true

Damn, two more henkei classics figures I'll never get. Oh well. lol

pics will be nice on gold LD Henkei leaders

woot more stuff to trackdown

Pics!

Please note the second LD figure is not Henkei Megatron, but Galvatron.　Each limited to 5.

Looks golden!

(oh ho ho ho)

Thanks SydneyY!

finally a lucky draw I want!

LD Galvatron

Prime and Galvy look good in gold. Very nice.

I pretty much called this when I hoped they'd be chrome. 5 each is a real small run, are all LD's this small of a run?

5 ..luckely nothing I want. Shrudders of the price tag...

Yep. Sometimes a little higher, and I think sometimes even smaller.

how are these obtained, not that i would shell out cash for it but are they just given out?

No. Normally it's between 50-100, with a few being between 5-30 and the odd one or two being less (Custom Galaxy Convoy for example).

In the past Japanese stores have also shared a prize toy with TV Magazine, helping to pay for the costs of the production run. These occasions are less well documented then the Japanese magazine give-aways.

Yes - which is what dictates a toy to be a Lucky Draw (or campaign prize draw) toy rather than just a magazine exclusive (such as SL Black Rodimus).

Galvatron looks nice though

Why does Prime seem to have a Purple faction symbol? Is it really just a chromed Shattered Glass Prime?

And this is as close as I will get to this guy.

Man he looks awesome, but the price tag will likely be out of this world. How do you get LD's without a bottomless checkbook? I've always been curious on that.

same! but with a limit of 5 each I'll never be able to aford them

Anyone know how I can enter the drawing for the LD's? cuz I aint got $x,000.00 to spend on this.

Well, Prime looks pretty cool. I'm suprised they used the Galvatron mold. Maybe all that gold chrome will help hold him together, lol. I like the Lucky Draws more when they are in the wierd colors though.

Maybe the LD Galvatron could be used as the Shattered Glass version of Astral Form Primus!

For all those after the two golden Henkei, good hunting

I'm sorry I'm confused. I must have fallen asleep at some point. Who is Dark Convoy and which line does he belong to? Is he Nemesis Prime or something?

Show me where "Dark Convoy" is mentioned in this thread. Show me.

I was about to ask the same question! lol

Right in the post above you. You even quoted it.

Weird seeing prime with decepticon symbols on him...

Anyway to stop Michael Bay from seeing these pics??? Otherwise we might be getting ghetto-fabulous bling-a-licious Gold Plated Ultra Magnus in the movie....

I'm fairly certain the Lucky Draw collectors DO have bottomless pocketbooks, or are simply skilled artists who can apply gold chrome to plastic store-bought figures.

It's probably cheaper to purchase the equipment needed to vacuum-metallize plastic and do it yourself than purchase 3-5 LDs.

So true.

What are we talking here, 3,000 or 4,000 USD? I know the 100+ LD's go for around 1,200 - 1,600 USD.

Yes, 3-4K for an LD with a limited run of 1-5. And multiply that by 5 or more, you're talkin 20K+ at least to fund the habit.

waits for UC to do a gallery. wonders how long it will take before he gets one,

Shall we make a online betting table `2$ per guess

don't they always just give these away instead of sell them? The last set I saw was free with with a purchase of $3000 (or was it $10k?) at some expo/convention in japan. I'm just saying, has anyone ever seen one for sale?

Do all the people who win them sell them for incredible amounts of cash to LD collectors?

Or do any of the winners actually keep them for their own collections, thereby removing it from the market?

Coz 5 is not a big number at all, and if all the winners want to keep them, LD collectors would be out of, er, luck.

Yes, you are correct, Lucky Draws are given away to the winners of the contest. However, ppl who want to obtain from said winners would have to pay $$$.

And the convention ur referring to is the Ani-Com & Games Hong Kong 2008, where Hasbro HK was giving away 10 of the 88 Gold Optimus Prime movie toys that were made, for the first 10 people to spend $3000 HKD ($387 USD) at their booth. Same situation as above, some of the ppl who were able to get one tried to resell theirs for $3-4K.

Some winners do keep thiers, especially if it's one-of-a-kind, like Green Galaxy Force Convoy, or Metallic Movie Optimus Prime, for example.

Some LD collectors who have LDs keep them for a few years and resell them. And some LD collectors who are insane and persistant, will find a way to get a rare LD. *cough*ulatrconvoy*cough*
