I appreciate the time and effort and I am surprised a Kmart let you walk in with merchandise and set it up. Ten again it would’ve been nice to see a somewhat filled tf section once more...

Behind the scenes...
A few people seem to think that I've used Photoshop. I think people forget that I'm incapable of using any graphics program that's any more complicated than MS Paint.So here's what happened.
* I got together with another TF collector who brought along some of his boxed G1 toys. We swung by the place of another collector who lent us some of his sealed G1 toys, although he wasn't free to join us in our shenanigans.
* We then drove to a nearby Kmart, placed these toys on the shelves and then took photos.
* We scanned a TLK Leader Class Megatron and then swapped it for Optimus Prime. Of course, G1 boxed toys have the barcode on the back of the box and you can see that I'm scanning the bottom. This is because scanning the barcode itself did bring up an "item not found" prompt on the scanner.Also, I decided to deliberately scan the bottom (as opposed to say scanning the Robot Point) as another clue that this is fake.
There was one photo that was modified via MS Paint, and that is the photo of me scanning G1 Optimus Prime. Here's the before and after shot.

Anyone else keeping count of how many times he tries to do April a Fools, but gets the time wrong?

Cos the board's clock is set on QLD time whereas I'm in NSW. Although this year I was inadvertently caught out in that one hour limbo when NSW shifted from AEDST to AEST. Gah... I actually hate DLS but watevs.Yeah so far most of the April Fools threads were made at the end of March
Hey, it would've been April 1 in New Zealand, bro!
P.S.: one true part about the story was that I did actually drive down from the Central Coast, so uh, yeah, was pretty fatigued when I posted this.

Thought I was in for an MS paint treat but instantly recognised the effort when I saw it. Bravo!

This has been all over my social media feeds... hilarious
As soon as I saw it was GoktimusPrime, I knew that it was an April fools joke. But what I found was people in a different timezone were completely fooled.
Great work Gok, this was one of your best.
