'''Lucky Draw''' figures are ''extremely'' limited-run versions of mass-release toys, given to winners of contests usually run by Japanese children's publications such as ''[[TV Magazine]]'', ''TV Kun'', and ''[[Comic BomBom]]'', but sometimes held through other collector-aimed, Transformers-related books or directly through [[TakaraTomy]]. These figures are typically either straightforward chrome-covered versions of figures (usually in gold or silver), or non-chrome [[redeco]]s with entirely new color schemes.

Although Lucky Draw toys are primarily a Japanese concept, the name "Lucky Draw" did not originate in Japan, nor is it used there currently to describe these toys. In Japan, these toys are referred to as '''kenshōhin''' (懸賞品, "sweepstake item") or '''campaign item''' (キャンペーンアイテム). The term "Lucky Draw" probably originated from Hong Kong and Singapore eBay sellers who typically label them "Lucky Draw" in their auctions.

The quantity of a Lucky Draw figure produced for a contest usually ranges from 10 to 50, but sometimes can be as few as one (Custom Color Galaxy Convoy) or as many as 300 (Black Tracks). However, sellers from Singapore and Hong Kong tend to obtain Lucky Draw figures in suspiciously high quantities, leading many collectors to believe that the total number produced is actually quite a bit higher than the number given away in the contest.

The extreme rarity and unique look of these toys makes them desirable to some high-end ''Transformers'' collectors, who pay as much as several thousand US dollars for a single Lucky Draw toy. Other collectors find no appeal in these figures because of the frequent use of gaudy-looking, all-over chrome on them and the high price tag.

Most well-known ''Transformers'' Lucky Draw toys were released during or after ''Beast Wars'' aired in Japan. During the entirety of Generation 1 in Japan, only three Lucky Draw exclusives are known to have been released: the gold Convoy trophy, the silver Chromedome trophy, and the Transformer Junior leaders set. (Rare chromed versions of many of Kabaya's Generation 1 Transformers kits exist. These may have been given out as Lucky Draw toys as well.) Several other Lucky Draw figures were released during ''Diaclone'' and ''Microman Micro Change'', including chrome versions of Jazz, Bluestreak, and Browning.

The Lucky Draw concept is almost exclusively Japanese. However, there have been cases with [[Hasbro]] and its international counterparts offering such items as part of promotional competitions, such as
an [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]] with a [[Customizing|custom]] head based on the winner, offered as a door prize at [[BotCon 2006]], and a pair of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader class|chromed movie Optimus Primes]] in truck mode and robot mode given away by Hasbro in a fan video contest on TechTV.

==List of known Takara/TakaraTomy Lucky Draw figures==

===Pre-Transformers===
*Gold [[Bluestreak (G1)|Fairlady Z]]
*Silver [[Bluestreak (G1)|Fairlady Z]]

{{note|These three toys were campaign prize items for ''[[Diaclone]]'', predating the original ''The Transformers'' toyline. In the early 2000s, the Silver Fairlady Z and Gold Porsche would inspire similar toys of [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Chrome|Bluestreak]] and [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Gold|Jazz]] respectively. However, these were regular toy releases exclusive to [[e-HOBBY]], and not part of any Lucky Draw campaign.}}

'''Lucky Draw''' figures are ''extremely'' limited-run versions of mass-release toys, given to winners of contests usually run by Japanese children's publications such as ''[[TV Magazine]]'', ''TV Kun'', and ''[[Comic BomBom]]'', but sometimes held through other collector-aimed, Transformers-related books or directly through [[TakaraTomy]]. These figures are typically either straightforward chrome-covered versions of figures (usually in gold or silver), or non-chrome [[redeco]]s with entirely new color schemes.

Although Lucky Draw toys are primarily a Japanese concept, the name "Lucky Draw" did not originate in Japan, nor is it used there currently to describe these toys. In Japan, these toys are referred to as '''kenshōhin''' (懸賞品, "sweepstake item") or '''campaign item''' (キャンペーンアイテム). The term "Lucky Draw" probably originated from Hong Kong and Singapore eBay sellers who typically label them "Lucky Draw" in their auctions.

The quantity of a Lucky Draw figure produced for a contest usually ranges from 10 to 50, but sometimes can be as few as one (Custom Color Galaxy Convoy) or as many as 300 (Black Tracks). However, sellers from Singapore and Hong Kong tend to obtain Lucky Draw figures in suspiciously high quantities, leading many collectors to believe that the total number produced is actually quite a bit higher than the number given away in the contest.

The extreme rarity and unique look of these toys makes them desirable to some high-end ''Transformers'' collectors, who pay as much as several thousand US dollars for a single Lucky Draw toy. Other collectors find no appeal in these figures because of the frequent use of gaudy-looking, all-over chrome on them and the high price tag.

Most well-known ''Transformers'' Lucky Draw toys were released during or after ''Beast Wars'' aired in Japan. During the entirety of Generation 1 in Japan, only three Lucky Draw exclusives are known to have been released: the gold Convoy trophy, the silver Chromedome trophy, and the Transformer Junior leaders set. (Rare chromed versions of many of Kabaya's Generation 1 Transformers kits exist. These may have been given out as Lucky Draw toys as well.) Several other Lucky Draw figures were released during ''Diaclone'' and ''Microman Micro Change'', including chrome versions of Jazz, Bluestreak, and Browning.

The Lucky Draw concept is almost exclusively Japanese. However, there have been cases with [[Hasbro]] and its international counterparts offering such items as part of promotional competitions, such as
an [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]] with a [[Customizing|custom]] head based on the winner, offered as a door prize at [[BotCon 2006]], and a pair of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader class|chromed movie Optimus Primes]] in truck mode and robot mode given away by Hasbro in a fan video contest on TechTV.

==List of known Takara/TakaraTomy Lucky Draw figures==

===Pre-Transformers===
*Gold [[Bluestreak (G1)|Fairlady Z]]
*Silver [[Bluestreak (G1)|Fairlady Z]]
*Gold [[Jazz (G1)|Porsche]]
{{note|These three toys were campaign prize items for ''[[Diaclone]]'', predating the original ''The Transformers'' toyline. In the early 2000s, the Silver Fairlady Z and Gold Porsche would inspire similar toys of [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Chrome|Bluestreak]] and [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Gold|Jazz]] respectively. However, these were regular toy releases exclusive to [[e-HOBBY]], and not part of any Lucky Draw campaign.}}

'''Lucky Draw''' figures are ''extremely'' limited-run versions of mass-release toys, given to winners of contests usually run by Japanese children's publications such as ''[[TV Magazine]]'', ''TV Kun'', and ''[[Comic BomBom]]'', but sometimes held through other collector-aimed, Transformers-related books or directly through [[TakaraTomy]]. These figures are typically either straightforward chrome-covered versions of figures (usually in gold or silver), or non-chrome [[redeco]]s with entirely new color schemes.

Although Lucky Draw toys are primarily a Japanese concept, the name "Lucky Draw" did not originate in Japan, nor is it used there currently to describe these toys. In Japan, these toys are referred to as '''kenshōhin''' (懸賞品, "sweepstake item") or '''campaign item''' (キャンペーンアイテム). The term "Lucky Draw" probably originated from Hong Kong and Singapore eBay sellers who typically label them "Lucky Draw" in their auctions.

The quantity of a Lucky Draw figure produced for a contest usually ranges from 10 to 50, but sometimes can be as few as one (Custom Color Galaxy Convoy) or as many as 300 (Black Tracks). However, sellers from Singapore and Hong Kong tend to obtain Lucky Draw figures in suspiciously high quantities, leading many collectors to believe that the total number produced is actually quite a bit higher than the number given away in the contest.

The extreme rarity and unique look of these toys makes them desirable to some high-end ''Transformers'' collectors, who pay as much as several thousand US dollars for a single Lucky Draw toy. Other collectors find no appeal in these figures because of the frequent use of gaudy-looking, all-over chrome on them and the high price tag.

Most well-known ''Transformers'' Lucky Draw toys were released during or after ''Beast Wars'' aired in Japan. During the entirety of Generation 1 in Japan, only three Lucky Draw exclusives are known to have been released: the gold Convoy trophy, the silver Chromedome trophy, and the Transformer Junior leaders set. (Rare chromed versions of many of Kabaya's Generation 1 Transformers kits exist. These may have been given out as Lucky Draw toys as well.) Several other Lucky Draw figures were released during ''Diaclone'' and ''Microman Micro Change'', including chrome versions of Jazz, Bluestreak, and Browning.

The Lucky Draw concept is almost exclusively Japanese. However, there have been cases with [[Hasbro]] and its international counterparts offering such items as part of promotional competitions, such as
an [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]] with a [[Customizing|custom]] head based on the winner, offered as a door prize at [[BotCon 2006]], and a pair of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader class|chromed movie Optimus Primes]] in truck mode and robot mode given away by Hasbro in a fan video contest on TechTV.

However, these were regular toy releases exclusive to [[e-HOBBY]], and not part of any Lucky Draw campaign.}}

'''Lucky Draw''' figures are ''extremely'' limited-run versions of mass-release toys, given to winners of contests usually run by Japanese children's publications such as ''[[TV Magazine]]'', ''TV Kun'', and ''[[Comic BomBom]]'', but sometimes held through other collector-aimed, Transformers-related books or directly through [[TakaraTomy]]. These figures are typically either straightforward chrome-covered versions of figures (usually in gold or silver), or non-chrome [[redeco]]s with entirely new color schemes.

Although Lucky Draw toys are primarily a Japanese concept, the name "Lucky Draw" did not originate in Japan, nor is it used there currently to describe these toys. In Japan, these toys are referred to as '''kenshōhin''' (懸賞品, "sweepstake item") or '''campaign item''' (キャンペーンアイテム). The term "Lucky Draw" probably originated from Hong Kong and Singapore eBay sellers who typically label them "Lucky Draw" in their auctions.

The quantity of a Lucky Draw figure produced for a contest usually ranges from 10 to 50, but sometimes can be as few as one (Custom Color Galaxy Convoy) or as many as 300 (Black Tracks). However, sellers from Singapore and Hong Kong tend to obtain Lucky Draw figures in suspiciously high quantities, leading many collectors to believe that the total number produced is actually quite a bit higher than the number given away in the contest.

The extreme rarity and unique look of these toys makes them desirable to some high-end ''Transformers'' collectors, who pay as much as several thousand US dollars for a single Lucky Draw toy. Other collectors find no appeal in these figures because of the frequent use of gaudy-looking, all-over chrome on them and the high price tag.

Most well-known ''Transformers'' Lucky Draw toys were released during or after ''Beast Wars'' aired in Japan. During the entirety of Generation 1 in Japan, only three Lucky Draw exclusives are known to have been released: the gold Convoy trophy, the silver Chromedome trophy, and the Transformer Junior leaders set. (Rare chromed versions of many of Kabaya's Generation 1 Transformers kits exist. These may have been given out as Lucky Draw toys as well.) Several other Lucky Draw figures were released during ''Diaclone'' and ''Microman Micro Change'', including chrome versions of Jazz, Bluestreak, and Browning.

The Lucky Draw concept is almost exclusively Japanese. However, there have been cases with [[Hasbro]] and its international counterparts offering such items as part of promotional competitions, such as
an [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]] with a [[Customizing|custom]] head based on the winner, offered as a door prize at [[BotCon 2006]], and a pair of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader class|chromed movie Optimus Primes]] in truck mode and robot mode given away by Hasbro in a fan video contest on TechTV.

However, these were regular toy releases exclusive to [[e-HOBBY]], and not part of any Lucky Draw campaign.}}

'''Lucky Draw''' figures are ''extremely'' limited-run versions of mass-release toys, given to winners of contests usually run by Japanese children's publications such as ''[[TV Magazine]]'', ''TV Kun'', and ''[[Comic BomBom]]'', but sometimes held through other collector-aimed, Transformers-related books or directly through [[TakaraTomy]]. These figures are typically either straightforward chrome-covered versions of figures (usually in gold or silver), or non-chrome [[redeco]]s with entirely new color schemes.

Although Lucky Draw toys are primarily a Japanese concept, the name "Lucky Draw" did not originate in Japan, nor is it used there currently to describe these toys. In Japan, these toys are referred to as '''kenshōhin''' (懸賞品, "sweepstake item") or '''campaign item''' (キャンペーンアイテム). The term "Lucky Draw" probably originated from Hong Kong and Singapore eBay sellers who typically label them "Lucky Draw" in their auctions.

The quantity of a Lucky Draw figure produced for a contest usually ranges from 10 to 50, but sometimes can be as few as one (Custom Color Galaxy Convoy) or as many as 300 (Black Tracks). However, sellers from Singapore and Hong Kong tend to obtain Lucky Draw figures in suspiciously high quantities, leading many collectors to believe that the total number produced is actually quite a bit higher than the number given away in the contest.

The extreme rarity and unique look of these toys makes them desirable to some high-end ''Transformers'' collectors, who pay as much as several thousand US dollars for a single Lucky Draw toy. Other collectors find no appeal in these figures because of the frequent use of gaudy-looking, all-over chrome on them and the high price tag.

Most well-known ''Transformers'' Lucky Draw toys were released during or after ''Beast Wars'' aired in Japan. During the entirety of Generation 1 in Japan, only three Lucky Draw exclusives are known to have been released: the gold Convoy trophy, the silver Chromedome trophy, and the Transformer Junior leaders set. (Rare chromed versions of many of Kabaya's Generation 1 Transformers kits exist. These may have been given out as Lucky Draw toys as well.) Several other Lucky Draw figures were released during ''Diaclone'' and ''Microman Micro Change'', including chrome versions of Jazz, Bluestreak, and Browning.

The Lucky Draw concept is almost exclusively Japanese. However, there have been cases with [[Hasbro]] and its international counterparts offering such items as part of promotional competitions, such as
an [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys|Optimus Prime]] with a [[Customizing|custom]] head based on the winner, offered as a door prize at [[BotCon 2006]], and a pair of [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader class|chromed movie Optimus Primes]] in truck mode and robot mode given away by Hasbro in a fan video contest on TechTV.

==List of known Takara/TakaraTomy Lucky Draw figures==

===Pre-Transformers===
*Gold [[Bluestreak (G1)|Fairlady Z]]
*Silver [[Bluestreak (G1)|Fairlady Z]]
*Gold [[Jazz (G1)|Porsche]]
{{note|These three toys were campaign prize items for ''[[Diaclone]]'', predating the original ''The Transformers'' toyline. In the early 2000s, the Silver Fairlady Z and Gold Porsche would inspire similar toys of [[Bluestreak (G1)/toys#Chrome|Bluestreak]] and [[Jazz (G1)/toys#Gold|Jazz]] respectively. However, these were regular toy releases exclusive to [[e-HOBBY]], and not part of any Lucky Draw campaign.}}
