I know they're special and ultra limited and all, but I'm not a fan of the all gold chromed figures like that.

Ha! Well stranger things have happened
Honestly I don't even know where to find Lucky Draws besides the rare cases they pop up on eBay. Besides, I think I'd be terrified to open him if I ever did get him

Well, we can all hope for the day when such a figure stops evading us.

Shajaki how hard is it to find nemesis Tokyo toy show deco, not counting milk magazine I'm 3 away from a fleet of convoys

It's actually really difficult. I waited and waited on eBay till I found one and kinda overpaid.

You'll have to do the leg work, but I know of a KO for the Black EMOP which actually has some diecast (for some reason). Only difference is it's the mouthy face, not plated. But the deco is pretty nice. Normally I wouldn't say "go get this cheap bastardized version!" but it's SO hard to find, and crazy expensive when you do. I would try Siri Toys(?) to start.

I'm cool on a ugly face ko, I'd pay up to 250 for that beautiful mouthplate....now to wait and wait and wait

Just saw the ko, not bad...gonna get it but ill be on the hunt for the original and diaclone up the ko once the original is in hand. how did you search it when you found the ebay listing good sir?

OK. Obviously, watch eBay as it may pop up (and you never know for a decent price). But I'll give you another source to watch:
http://jungle-scs.co.jp/sale_en/?page_id=116&pg=1&cat=309&st=4

Watch them like a hawk. I have seen the Black EMOP on there before for 15000 Yen (and exchange is KILLER). I've bought lots from there too, they're good stuff

All hail the mighty Shajaki and his wisdom of the way of evasion mode jutsu

I'm just a dude who put too much effort into collecting one figure

Emo-fu?

Let me go modify your signature...

C'mooooon Fire Guts deco!

I stand by this comment.

I've started using backdrops in my pics, better lighting, and learning to photoshop... I've been thinking of re-doing the gallery

Very particular thread and it's incredible your passion for this mold!
I love the rusty versions, but I could buy only one version...
In your opinion, between the "blue-red" versions, what is the best?

If I recall, I believe he stated the Autobots 5 pack from TRU has the best version.

I myself really like the one that came with classics optimus since it looks most like what that truck would have looked like new.

I absolutely agree, in fact I have bought that.^ ^

Yup, AU is the best red n'blue, but Black Convoy is by far the best one

If you exclude the Gold Lucky Draw, I now own every EMOP. Say hello to the Milk Magazine Exclusive. What's Milk Magazine? Iunno! But its rare as haaayyyell. Akin to, but not quite a Lucky Draw as I've heard. He's basically a custom painted Rusty Prime, distributed as a giveaway(?).

Here's some pics, but I apologize for the crappy pics from my old phone. I don't have that nice camera anymore.

Congrats on the score.
I am looking forward to see some group shots with the other repaints.

Unfortunately you might be waiting a while. I need to get myself a new camera

I've been meaning to get the upgrade set for this figure for a while but I'm not sure if any site still has it
