Allspark member Mighty Gain, has posted an image gallery of his latest purchase a gold Generation One Hot Rod toy which you can view here. The story he was told when purchasing the item was that it is a a commemorative anniversary item distributed 20 years ago to Takara's staff much like the Gold Convoy statues and the Silver Chromedome. There are, however, a few things that seem out-of-place with this item when you first see it, and so we are trying to investigate its authenticity. The main areas of concern is that the toy is in a US retail box and not a Japanese one, which would have been the box used at the time. The item also appears to be missing all of the weapons which should also have been gold chrome. The only Generation One "lucky draws", other than an Junior giftset, were both statues (two different gold Convoy statues and the silver Chromedome one). Hopefully our investigation will turn up more on this story in the coming weeks.
