This is one of 'those' items, unique enough that we have to list it. :-) In October of 2002, an ebay auction ran featuring this all-clear Prime. Prime, his accessories, and roller were done in the same clear plastic. Now, one of the interesting things about this is that it was done in the TRU-version of the mold...meaning shortened smokestacks.

We're still awaiting news on the confirmed true origin of this product. Speculation so far? That it was a 'lunchtime special' (meaning a Takara employee ran it off on his lunchbreak, then ran to ebay) (See Also: Lunchtime Specials); that it is a testshot; or that it is an early production piece for a cancelled ToysRUs exclusive offering.


Here's an odd variant on the crystal Prime...shots of a clear trailer. :-) Note the change on the sticker as well...
