Maybe ask Kyle, as I think it was one of his HK friends who got me mine, so would need to know what it was called.
A friend of both me and heero wanted one for himself and bought a bulk lot from a Japanese dealer to save on shipping. You got his very last one.
I on the other hand already picked one up (the one you saw in the May meet) while I was in Tokyo on the release date of the DVD from a HMV.


FFN, I have both the promotional and instruction sheet in front of me.




On the promotional (an official printed handout I picked up from the HMV), the toy was labelled as "Optimus Prime Figure (not for sale item)" (translated) with an additional "bubble" that reads "DVD & HD DVD advance pre-order special bonus" (translated). I think in context the "advance" simply means "early bird", "first come first served" or "while stock lasts".



On the actual instruction sheet, it reads "TRANSFORMERS, DVD advance pre-order special bonus, (not for sale item), Optimus Prime, Autobot" (translated).


I can also take photos of the actual toys (this and the Trans Scanning OP), if you need additional photos.
