Holy crap - whose collection is that? Every toy there is beyond rare.

Someone who's incredibly lucky and keeps winning these lucky draw prizes?(I've only ever been lucky enough to win one)
...I wonder if their luck works on the Powerball

Blue Big Convoy just looks so right!!
Since it does not have any chrome colouring, it looks like something you can actually play with (thought I wouldn't dare).

Now I'm thinking it's Malach Ra's, since I know he has a Universe Drench and collects Lucky Draw toys. His collection is insane.

Insane is the word for it. it's damn near depressing me looking at all those pics.

Meh... I personally don't see the appeal in buying lucky draw prizes. I mean, aside from their rarity, what makes them so special? I can understand the few that have some canonical significance/meaning, like Unicron of Light or G1 Primus, or even if they were a new character like a lot of eHobby exclusives are, but most of them look like complete random or otherwise meaningless repaints... almost as if Takara just spun some "Wheel O' Colour" -- tak-tak-tak-tak-tak-tak-tak... black! Makes me wonder if all of Hasbro's random Bumblebee repaints would be highly sought after and valued by collectors if Hasbro made them über-rare draw prizes instead of flooding them in the regular retail market.
Also for me personally - and this is only my opinion - the core appeal of having any lucky draw prizes is as a souvenir/memento of winning a lucky draw. Buying one feels like "cheating" to me. <---JMHO

+2 for wanting Big Blue Convoy. The bot in red chrome looks interesting, though I don't recognize it. It may not even be from Transformers.

The rarity is probably the main (lucky) drawcard, for me anyway.Originally Posted by GoktimusPrime

I would love to buy that green Unicron if it was a standard release but knowing there's only 10 makes me want it more.i mean, i don't know anyone that has a grail that's really common.
I think bumblebee repaints would certainly be highly sought after if they were limited to 10 or 50 (probably not by me though)
I can understand buying lucky draws as cheating a bit, but unless they were won through some kind of effort, like writing a story or drawing something for the comp or whatever, i don't really see the problem with buying or selling something gained purely by chance. I would have no attachment to a figure gained that way.
(back to that collection^)Funny thing is, after seeing all those rare, near unattainable
figures, the one that stands out most for me is Trailbreaker. Am i missing something?. Is Trailbreaker right up there on the super-rare list?
