We have updated both Lucky Draw Transformers.com and Transformers At The Moon with a full image gallery of the Hong Kong exclusive Lucky Draw Gold Leader Class Transformers Movie Optimus Prime.
This, we believe, is the worlds first full image gallery of the latest Lucky Draw Transformers figure to be released. The gallery contains 61 images of the figure, including comparisons to the two Lucky Draw Gold Transformers Movie Voyager Optimus Prime figures that we own (who's gallery was also recently updated with new images of the figure in the box as well as information on the variant that we own).
The terminology, Lucky Draw, refers to a competition prize draw, where winners are selected by random. Lucky Draw Toys are the prizes given away, usually these are very limited. Lucky Draw Campaigns are run in Japan usually by magazines. The main magazine which runs Lucky Draw competitions is Telebi Magazine (TV Magazine). Bom-Bom Magazines and Comic Bom-Bom also run Lucky Draw campaigns. In later years TV Boy also run prize draw campaigns as did DVD production companies and some stores. Hasbro UK also gave away hardcopy Transformers Animated toys in a competition, where winners were choosen at random. Meanwhile Hasbro Hong Kong gave away 10 gold Movie Optimus Prime statues to people who spent over a certain amount of money at a convention. Although this meant the figure isn't a Lucky Draw toy, most fans count it as one due to it's appearance.
LuckyDrawTransformers.comis the internets only dedicate Lucky Draw resource site. The website was initially launched in April 2006 and was relaunched with a new look and message board in August 2008. It remains the best place to view and find out more about the various Transformers Lucky Draw items that have been released, as well as now containing image scans from various Japanese hobby magazines. All of this information is available on the sites parent-site, Transformers At The Moon, however due t the shear size of "The Moon", the information is not as easy to access.
We hope you enjoy this first full look at the latest Lucky Draw figure to be released, and do not forget to check back with us over the coming week, as we have more Lucky Draw figures to share with you.
