[wrap=left:oa4b4eql][/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!
