Packaging Guide - Giftset

 

  • Initially only the box was produced (Version 1). Later the Version 2 box was produced and sold with counterfeit figures (The images above are from the V2 box)
  • As the V1 box didnt have any figures unscrupulous sellers did put real technobot figures in the counterfeit box and sell the set as vintage.
  • Weirdly the v1 box has less tells than the v2 box
  • There is no triangle pointing to the tech specs
  • There character images in the transformation sequence are positioned incorrectly
  • There is 7 grid squares between the 'Change' instructions when there should be 8. See image
