    According to the comments it's a special promotion for the Chinese New Moon Year. It will be packed with the booster pack and an Omega Supreme card.

    Any idea how we can get this? I am worried about Ebay scalping.

    It looks right now like there isn't an option to pick it up outside of asia directly.

    I think it'd be very nice of them to translate the card and release it stateside. There's plenty of Chinese-Americans and Chinese immigrants who still celebrate the Lunar New Year. Why else would LEGO and Disney and even Hasbro themselves make products for the New Year?

    This.

    I'm not even Chinese. But I bought a sign for my front door! YEAR OF THE PIG!!! :D  (my boys love pigs)

    I'd make a list of Asia-exclusive freebies we don't get, but I think my printer would run out of ink. :D

    Looks more like Golden Lagoon Bumblebee considering the torched trees and stuff in the background.

    It's nice that the promos are not game breaking.

    Yeah, it's a fun little promo card that isn't a big deal if we never get an English version. Glad that this game is launching into another massive market!

    Gold Bumblebee
    Electrum Warrior

    Bot mode = when the character has 5 or more damage tokens - TOUGH 2
    Alt mode = when flipping to this mode the character gets BOLD 2 until the end of the turn.

    I kept getting BRAVE in translation. But the parenthesis describes BOLD.

    I ended up ordering a case from Toy1 as I have a draft tournament I'm running, and it was till cheaper to pay for shipping from Malaysia than order through my local store. Called to confirm and it looks like we'll have x4 of the promos with the case so we might end up giving some out as prizes!

    Here's my copy for those interested. I decided not to use "Golden" on the name

    I think you HAVE to have "Golden Bumblebee" because that's what sets him apart. I wish his defense stat would have matched the electrum plating though.
    And the "Bold" is a flip affect, not an ongoing affect.
