  2. The toy and packaging variation oddity, mystery and discovery thread

  11. The toy and packaging variation oddity, mystery and discovery thread

    Instead of weird international packaging variants, here's something quick and simple for a change that isn't a mystery to me, and has been reported on several times already, but I'd just like to raise awareness: The final waves of the Beast Hunters assortments saw limited distribution due to...

  16. The toy and packaging variation oddity, mystery and discovery thread

    Okay, so regarding the French Canadian name for the Predacons, I think I figured out what happened in 1998. For some reason, Hasbro decided to change the name from "Prédacon" (used for all the 1996 and 1997 releases) to "Prédator", but then couldn't decide on the spelling. First it became...
