This listing is for what can be best described as the easily one of the rarest Beast Wars toys available. For those of you who are unaware of Lucky Draw toys, these are available in Japan and are produced in incredibly small quantities as competition prizes, mainly for magazines. Produced as special editions of regular toys, these are usually repaints of existing characters and in most cases feature gold or silver chrome paint replacing the regular colours.

This toy was produced on behalf of retailer Perfect Choice Digital Orders and features Beast Wars Returns Cheetas (Beast Machines Cheetor). It is in dark green / black plastic with chrome silver accents. It was limited to a production run of just 60 worldwide and was only available to competition winners. This was never sold at retail.

These rarely change hands through collectors and in many cases, collectors of Lucky Draw toys know the location of several others of the same toys. At one point I owned two of this toy (this one and another for my daughter) which subsequently was sold on to a collector in Sweden and then made it back to the UK. Another is in the posession of reknowned Lucky Draw collectors Steve and Dave Mapes although theirs has been opened for display and reference for their website meaning that there are no more than 59 of these in sealed condition.

This particular toy is in mint condition and still sealed and is in exactly the same condition I received it in almost a decade ago. There is minor creasing to the top of the plastic, and some yellowing to the tape on the box which is understandable due to ageing. This will be packaged very carefully prior to shipping, wrapped carefully in bubble wrap and padding before placed in a secure box. This will then be placed inside a second box surrounded by further padding for increased protection during transit.

Postage and packing on this is £12 to anywhere in the UK by £12 special delivery. I will not send this by any other method because of the high value and rarity of the toy. Postage outside of the UK is £36 to mainland Europe and £45 to the rest of the World. In both cases, this covers full tracking and insurance to cover the full value of the toy. I will combine shipping on multiple items so please contact me prior to payment if you are buying more than one item.

Payment is by PayPal only although collection in person is also possible by arrangement. Payment must be within 5 days of the close of the listing or it will be relisted and a non-paying bidder report will be filed.
