I won this little guy on eBay about week ago. Awesome Powerglide homage!

My question is, how many of these were produced? I know they were limited to five per TRU. Anyone know?

I actually thought it was 10 per TRU...

It could be ten. I am just going by what the lister had posted in the auction.

you had to spend a certain amount in order to get one as well - i got my contact in japan to pick up henkei megatron at the same time to cover it.

If you need to see piccys to see if the minicon is worth it i could post you a couple of mine as its hard to find good pics of some of the rarer minicons

Ten to a store. So sadistic.

Thanks MegaDave! I got the figure yesterday though. I am really glad I bought it, big feet and all!

I know, right? Leave it to me though. I see the words Rare Japanese Exclusive and my credit card starts to scream.

I got one this week and think that he is a sweet little minicon. I'm not a big minicon collector, but I really liked the mold and I got it for a pretty reasonable price.

My wife says that he is the Charlie Brown Christmas tree of Transformers.

10 per store. And there are 148 stores in Japan. So about 1500 figures.

You wouldn't happen to have the proverbial "Hook-up" in Japan for a Hungry-Hungry Mini-Con collector such as myself would you? :grin:

Is that like a hungry-hungry hippo?

Sadly I missed out on this one. I went to a TRU on the required day as soon as it opened but these mini-cons were already gone. Since I was the only person buying Transformers at 10 AM on a weekday, I think they either gave them out the night before (if they set the display up early) or the employees snatched them. (so unJapanese)
