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.

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

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 ;)^

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.

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.
