88 of these are being produced, and 10 are being given away at a Hong Kong Animation and Comic show soon.
They are totally plated, with the tyres being the only exception.

Very nice, but not as rare as the usual 'Lucky Draw' gold toys, which are usually 5-10 units.

etoysjapan.com has images of this golden figure on their website, which have been mirrored here:

I just don't "understand" gold-plating TFs like this... :confused: (It must be a TakaraTomy "thing" :rolleyes:)

At such an incredibly limited production run I don't think it matters. :p The gold plating made more sense with the G1 and MP Convoy moulds because of the "Gold Lagoon" theme - and I think MP Convoy was specifically marketed that way.

I doubt it really mattered. Unless the 10 who line up and get theirs in Hong Kong will put theirs on eBay... :o

I reckon a few will. Plus aren't there 88 total? That's why I'm thinking they might only be in the low hundreds for one :confused:

We need to make sure our contacts give us the best chance possible of winning Golden-Lagoon Movie Prime! :p

(Or we could just organise for the winner to be mugged ;))

..cos there was totally a golden lagoon in the live action moofie! :p As I said to benben about chrome gold Jazz, these toys are neat novelties if you can get one, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get them. I have silver chrome Bluestreak only because I actually won it as a lucky draw prize. I love having it, but if I hadn't had won I would never go out of my way to pay some premium price for it. Ggrrr! :p
