    You must remember it was almost the end of the cold war with communism. Prior to that not much western culture or entertainment entered their country. It was prohibited.

    Well it's not just China that got a delayed exposure to TF media, certain parts of South Asia & Sri Lanka got to know about it only in 2007 for the first Bayformers movie. (@SilverOptimus can pls help to verify above info. Thanks dude).

    For other parts of Asia like Southeast Asia (or maybe HK), were lucky enough to get the cartoon and toys at about the same time as continental USA.

    They also started to produce G1 toys in China.
    Which led to Classic Reissues in Europe in early \'90.
    Which led me (too young for the first release) to have some of them.
    Which led me to collect now.

    Maybe I should get this coin LOL

    Would be nice to have some more info to see what this is all about . The coin is nice an all , but it ain’t worth squat if it comes with nothing else . ( at least to me )

    That artwork is beautiful. I’d probably buy that as well! Anyone know how I could get it in a good format?
