[/wrap:oa4b4eql]So, you collect Optimus Prime toys, do you? You've got every figure, every Slurpee straw, every Burger King Glass, even the Underoo's. But do you have
this one? Today's photo--courtesy of shutterbug extraordinaire
Engledogg--depicts a golden
Optimus Prime from the 2007 movie's
Metalformers Collection subline of toys. Do you have this one, Mr. Completist?
Difficulty: they were available only in vending machines.
Extra difficulty: this was a "chase" figure.
Extra bonus difficulty: sold only in Japan.
By an odd coincidence, I happen to have one of these toys here on my desk, still sealed inside his capsule. Just to see if anyone is actually reading these posts, here's a secret promotional offer, just between me and you: I'll send this toy to the first non-moderator to submit 20 photos to the Shmax Database. If you're interested, be sure to mind the
guidelines!
