Campaign & Premium Items
|
Welcome to my database of
Campaign & Premium items. I created this page to identify all Car Robot
campaigns (to include exclusives/re-issues in 2000-2001) that were identified in various
Japanese magazines, advertisements, or made available at various toy conventions.
Much of the information has been loosely translated by me with "gists" provided
by those who can really read and understand Japanese such as Masashi Kitano & Yosuke
Ishikawa :) I've requested assistance on alt.toys.transformers and other bulletin
boards with limited replies. But I want to thank my fellow TransFans (US and
Japanese) who have replied and verified the data on this page.
I still have many sections that need to be
verified which been identified in RED below. I need
your help in filling in the blanks so if you would like to provide corrections or new
information, please drop me an e-mail.
Be sure to provide your source such as a contact, specific page in a magazine,
internet link, or whatever else so that my "updates" will be a accurate.
I've mailed off many postcards for a few of
these campaigns but have never been selected as a winner. I know a couple of
Japanese collector's who have won 3 or 4 different campaign prizes with only 1-2 postcard
entries. Now that's luck and maybe someday I'll win . . . I'm not holding my breath
though :)
