This is a hot of the press band new news story based on something that happened 12 years ago. As part of yet another haul of back issues of TV Magazine we've managed to finally pick up documented proof of the Lucky Draw Beast Ware figures. Previously only rumours have circulated regarding these, but now we haev full first hand proof of the toys, including images (though they are on yellow pages.
We can now confirm that in the March 1998 issue of TV Magazine the following Beast Wars prize draw figures took place.
1) 1x Gold Convoy + Gold Megatron
2) 6x Gold Convoys
3) 1x Gold Convoy, Gold Cheetas, Gold Rhinox, Gold Rattrap, Gold Dinobot
This is the first time that the Gold Beast Wars figures of Cheetor, Rhinox, Rattrap and Dinobot have been confirmed, as well as showing that 8 Gold Optimus Primals (Convoy's) were given out during a draw with only 1 Megatron (previously reported as limited to 3).
We will upload images to Lucky Draw Transformers and Transformers At The Moon in due course

I am pleased to announce that I have updated 73 images of our
Transformers Animated Lucky Draw Optimus Prime Gold Version into an image gallery that is available both on
Transformers At The Moon and
Lucky Draw Transformers.com. The toy is officially limited to 1000 pieces, but actually 1104 were made. The gallery contains pictures of the toy in both robot and vehicle modes, comparisons to the original western Battle Damaged Optimus Prime figure as well as a couple of images of the shipping case that TakaraTomy use to send out the cases of these figures.

Our Lucky Draw Transformers Animated Optimus Prime Gold Version has now arrived, complete with TakaraTomy dispatch case. A gallery of the figure will not be added to the website tonight, but if you are a fan of the site on Facebook (www.facebook.com/transformertoys) you can see a couple of preview images right now.
I can tell you that the toy, which was suppose to be limited to 1000 pieces is actually limited to 1104. In our last news update we announced that the figure is packed 12 to the case, well there were 92 sent out by TakaraTomy so where the other 1104 figures were suppose to end up is probably the missing link that explains why so many lucky draw figures appear to be made in larger quantities than their original prize draws intend.
More on this when the gallery is published.

Another Gold Transformers Animated Optimus Prime has been listed on eBay. This is the 2nd auction in as many days from TheCrowGirl and has a Buy It Now price of $448 more than yesterdays auction which sold for $398. This is the 14th figure that we know of.
The toys were suppose to have been limited to 1000 yet they are packed in cases of 12. This means 84 cases would make 1008 toy. Therefore there will certainly not be 1000 of these toys, and its perfectly plausible that 100 cases may have been made making the toy limited to 1200 pieces.
The original campaign was run by TakaraTomy in association with Sega and Mountain Rose with 1000 names being draw at random to receive the figures with the campaign running between the 18th August and 30th September 2010.

KOToys.com have gotten their hands on some of the TakaraTomy Transformers Animated Lucky Draw Gold Deluxe Optimus Prime figures and have posted a mini gallery over on their message board. The toy is 100% legit and will be given out to 1000 winners at the end of this month, though a 12 of the toys (they are packed 12 to a case) have found their way to KOtoys. Oh and yes, you read that right 12 to a case, so that means that there will certainly not be 1000 of the items since its not a multiple of 12.

As we reported earlier in the week, our speculation that the Lucky Draw Bumblebee figure at the Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong (ACGHK) would be a gold chrome Bumble bee has been confirmed.

The toy is coated entirely in gold chrome and is comes within a display case
much like the 2007 Movie Optimus Prime leader toy offered by Hasbro Hong Kong in 2008. The Prime toy was limited to 88 pieces where as this Bumblebee is limited to 1 and will be given to whomever spends the most amount of money at the Hasbro booth

TF-HK member Farmer has posted information that there will be a limited edition Transformers Movie Canon Bumblebee made available at the
Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong (ACGHK) which takes place from the 30th of July to the 3rd of August.
The figure may well turn out to be a gold chrome Transformers Movie Bumblebee figure, so we'll have to wait and see.
