Yeah it's like MP10G, which I'm sure isn't coincidental. ;)

In my sleep deprived state I thought the subject read Gold Optimus and Star Wars....

That's basically how the board game industry works now and Statue companies have been operating under this model since forever. Then there's the whole Matty Collector thing where they'd need to hit a certain number of pre-orders before they would go into production for MotU/PoP items.

Some info on the book from the TV-Kun website...

Looks like this isn't going ahead due to not reaching the crowdfunding goal. I am genuinely sad about this, but hopefully we will see some future release of part or all of the set.
