Why is there only one g1 Galvatron from Japan in our collection database?

I DID have one--somebody vaguely Highprime-shaped snuck into my house in a ninja outfit one night with some chloroform, and smashed mine, muttering something about his shmax.com rank...

I have the one that was released in the US. The Japanese toys [i:1vpisk7a]don\'t count[/i:1vpisk7a], shut up, shut up, SHUT UP...
1 (25%)
I\'m hoping one will turn up on hasbrotoyshop.com. It can\'t be any harder than scoring a Chopsaw...

I used to have one, but TSA confiscated it at the airport.

Who has time to chase around after rare figures when I\'m still trying to clear all these $@!*% alerts?

Highprime submitted a gallery for Japan's Transformers 2010 Galvatron a few days ago. The photos are typical of his high standards, but take a look at the details page for this figure. Notice anything unusual? Take your time, I'll wait. Naw, I'm not talking about the fact that Galvatron's "SKILL" is apparently the ability to fudge his other Technical data numbers (a "9" in "Speed"? He sure gets around for a laser pistol). Look at the "Num. Collected" number down near the bottom. It's a "1"! Is it really possible that out of 1600+ collectors and 250,000+ toys tracked on this site, that only one lone, semi-mad collector owns one of these? How did that happen? I say there's only one way to get to the bottom of this: a survey!

you HAVE to continue these polls. They are just off-the-wall funny. I did have one, but it was stolen... ;)
Seriously though, I have the reissue, the ehobby exclusive and the american one. I don't need this one.

I have all 3 Japan versions.  I NEED all 3 versions  :twisted:   All stickers unapplied, of course  :D  I thumb my nose up at any toy with the stickers applied, heh, heh, heh.  Probably similar to someone who only collects MISB...

What a minute, am I having this conversation out-loud, again?   Whoops... gotta go...

I sticker my figures. They look naked without them. Like if you took out all of the mold detailing of the newer figures. If you are going to open your figures and you don't plan on selling them, you might as well sticker them! (This way you can take pictures of the figure stickered up as well for Shmax ;) ).

You have a better chance of seeing Jesus than seeing a factory-stickered up figure in my collection ;)

IMO, the figures are incomplete without that unused sheet (sames goes for the inner/outer packaging, accessories, instructions, etc.).  That's me, though  :D
