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 below 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.
