    That first link just points to Nakashi's Twitter page (Nakashi is the web admin for Autobase Aichi). 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.

    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!!

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

    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.
