The Japanese people are a weird and wonderful bunch. I'm not out to make fun of them, but their grasp on the English language can sometimes be a total laugh riot. I found this auction of the clear Family Mart Lucky Draw ROTF Leader Class Optimus Prime and the description was "painful" to read tongue.gif (as in almost rolling on the floor, laughing out loud). Sorry! I should be more politically correct, but I found this way too amusing wink2.gif .

Yeah, one has to wonder what the seller really wanted to say. When he talks about "light making the feature look terrible costing" earlier in the same sentence I'm guessing that he simply means "look very expensive", but what "terrible colored plastic" is supposed to mean I can't guess. Okay, there have been quite a few "terribly coloured" Transformers in the past (if I mention Action Master Thundercracker, that should make your stomachs turn), but I don't get the impression that it is the seller's opinion of this figure.

Terrible => Terrific... that's what I think.
