Lucky Draw Transformers... your thoughts?

[GoktimusPrime]

I'm in the "I'm not going to pay that much" category. Way too expensive for me.

Cool to look at I suppose.
But their rarity does not add any value to them for me, thus they are overpriced curiosities.

^Completely agree^

I have one Lucky Draw TF - silver chrome Bluestreak. I got it by winning it as a lucky draw prize. But ultimately, it's just G1 Bluestreak entirely covered in silver chrome... just because they could. As CBraton said, it's just a curiosity - a novelty. It's a pretty neat novelty, but IMHO not neat enough to pay some massive price for.

The other thing is, as the name implies, these Transformers are meant to be obtained through luck. Simply buying one kinda defeats the purpose IMO. It's kinda like buying a medal or trophy for a contest you didn't win (even if the contest is based on random luck rather than merit). To me, the fact that my Lucky Draw Chromestreak is entirely chrome is only half the novelty -- the other half is the fact that I won it as a prize.

JMO.

I recently posted some pics in the Action Pose thread w/ Chromestreak in it here.
