    Default Gold plated Movie Leader Prime.

    88 of these are being produced, and 10 are being given away at a Hong Kong Animation and Comic show soon.
    They are totally plated, with the tyres being the only exception.

    Very nice, but not as rare as the usual 'Lucky Draw' gold toys, which are usually 5-10 units.

    etoysjapan.com has images of this golden figure on their website, which have been mirrored here:

    I just don't "understand" gold-plating TFs like this... (It must be a TakaraTomy "thing" )

    At such an incredibly limited production run I don't think it matters. The gold plating made more sense with the G1 and MP Convoy moulds because of the "Gold Lagoon" theme - and I think MP Convoy was specifically marketed that way.

    I doubt it really mattered. Unless the 10 who line up and get theirs in Hong Kong will put theirs on eBay...

    I reckon a few will. Plus aren't there 88 total? That's why I'm thinking they might only be in the low hundreds for one
