Two entries. Also I tried to win Terebi Magazine's ROTF Leader Gold Chrome Optimus Prime, but couldn't win that.

Niiiiiice! Just curious how many entries did you put in? A friend of mine in Japan tried to win one (I think he submitted a few entries) but didn't win one.

Got this today when it's least expected.

I'm just glad the Lucky Draw is not a Bee.

Looks very cool!

Is this only for the Japanse market, or can people from outside also try and win this?
And what are Sega cards???

Its been done and the weird thing is they don't show up as often as the more limited items.
Wonder when we will start to see fakes being passed around?

Well that's new….. a lucky draw that is 1000 pieces…..

Too expensive I'd wager.
And yet they STILL have time to put out Bayverse junk.
Meh!
swarlock
They get all the luck. Sigh!

Did Hasbro say why they wont do promotions like this in the USA or UK?

Are they releasing DVDs with original english language as an option. I want season 3, so I am just wondering if anyone knew.

I hear Japanese Animated toys are sell well(Especially, Optimus).
And, "lucky draw campaigns"-like thing is a favorite ploy of Takaratomy!

I'm not surprised animated isnt doing well in japan. TF over there has always been largely collector-supported, and most collectors already imported them long ago.
