If I win and meet the designers, the first thing I'm gonna do is smack them in the back of the head and tell them to do their jobs better!

Then I'm gonna arange for 3 trailers for the stuff I'll need ship home!

Coach and only $500.00 spending money WTF?
Japan is one of the most expensive countries to visit I would want at least $5000.00 and a first class trip before I would enter.

And it's not like Pepsi couldn't afford it. **** their giving that Ultimate Entertainment package away every day. That totals close to $4,000!

Ah well...I'm curious though if they provide a translator.

Wow, what a great chance! I have been wanting to visit Takara-Tomy for a long time.

I guess only US people can enter huh? I do really hope that a Seibertron.com member does win it. At least he or her would appreciate it.

It'd be hilariously vicious if they just dropped your ass at the airport and said best of luck... in Japanese.

When in Japan... Take lots of pictures!

I want to win but i dont want to win. If i were to go to Japan i dont think id come back. If i seibertronian does win they should ask if anyone wants some crap from japan. Id gladly paypal them money to get me some kick ass TF stuff.

by **Roboto750** » Sun May 20, 2007 7:59 pm

Wouldn't mind winning that, but I do agree that $500 doesn't seem like much spending money...

a few of us do live in Japan, im 30 mins from Akihabara.

been here over about 2 and a half years, and hardly speak a word of Japanese. a translator isnt that important. it does help though...

by **YouFearGalvatron** » Mon May 21, 2007 3:16 am

I wish.

I f%^&*$# miss Tokyo so damned much.

If they did that I'd probably just go home and pocket the $500.00.

Have you ever tried visiting Takara Tomy? I heard their head quarters is downtown. I have considered writing to them to see if I can get a tour.

I'd check out the new molds. And for all the new stuff that is still in the development stages, well...wouldn't it be a shame if some piece of crap that they try to pass off as a Transformer (Armada Sideswipe, anyone?) suddenly didn't have a mold anymore?

Also, I bet all those supposed 'broken' molds are there, not being used. Buncha a-holes.
