That first link just points to Nakashi's Twitter page (Nakashi is the web admin for Autobase Aichi (http://snakas.web.infoseek.co.jp/)). :) His Twitter page does point to the Seibu link (your second hyperlink) though. So if anyone wants to access info about this toy, just click on the kurdt's second link (http://e-catalog.seibu.jp/062/20100719/001/index.html). :)

Meh... it's another fairly underwhelming black repaint. With the Autobot logos I guess he can be repurposed as "AllSpark Death Optimus Prime"... ya know, just before he gets revived by Sari's Key. ;p Good luck to anyone wanting this toy though as there's only going to be 300 of them available!! :o

Yeh I was just noting that Snakas twitter was where i found the link to the limited item :) Turns out this is also available at Sogo Yokohama-Ten 10-16 August. Not clear how many will be available there though

whu.. this repaint doesn't even make sense, takara. :/

Also, doesn't this make the lucky draw style gold optimus easier to get than this one? :confused:

Congrats on your find mr Goat!

This I think is one of the first black repaint Primes I have actually wanted to get .. Pitty it might be to limited for my budget.

Mike from KOToys just responded to an email I sent him in May, and also added this chase figure for $225USD in his reply.

It is a nice mold despite the terrible weapon designs...
Do want... but..
O_o ouch....

With that markup, you better demand the toy be delivered to you in a gold-plated lead box by a harem of hot mediterranean maidens. ;)

Supposedly Animtated Black Optimus is getting a wider release, with another 1000 pieces being released later in the year:

My care factor about this figure has now tenfolded.

Original care factor = 0 :p
