Hasbro doing a Lucky Draw-style campaign? Amazing!
Only in Australia, relatively close to Japan? Not so amazing.

That's a pretty sweet contest for the locals of the area. That thing is a fingerprint magnet. To bad they didn't use ROTF leader class Prime. This one alays felt a bit bulky to me. Still cool,though. Gratz to whoever gets it.

Obviously he will look like this at the end of DOTM ala the ending of Short Circuit 2.

I want this so bad, but LD Armada Jetfire and Prime are more of a concern for the wallets.....

I just squeeled a little on the inside with the thought of winning it then taking photos of my hands touching it and sending it to you.

Yes, i'm a cruel and heartless bastard.

*runs off to put more entries in*

Nope, 76 10 of these where given away at Toy Fare Hong Kong back in 2008.
I'd like to know why they're hanging on to these for so damn long.

Because it's fun to string Blurrz along with the idea that he might be in with a chance to win one someday?
