i was lucky enough to get this a few weeks ago. Being a big transformers fan and collected them as a serious hobby prior to watches, I felt that this was appropriate. I originally heard these were Japan only but they were slowly releasing over the world. When I saw they were going to available in the States, I became determined to obtain it. I googled release dates, I asked G-Shock directly and I wasn’t able to get a clear response. I refreshed the page one day and bam, preordered. I received the actual preorder announcement email minutes later. I sent the link to my friend and that's when I realized it was sold out, crazy! I guess I got lucky. I hope you enjoy the pictures I took!
