    No I meant the 3 I said. They don't have G2 Boxset versions. Liokaiser may use the same torso as Skyreign (as does Victorion with Defensor) but has different Limbs

    But there IS no G2 Sky Reign. There IS G2 versions of Superion, Menasor and BRUTICUS.

    Yes, No G2 Skyreign, G2 Optimus Maximus and G2 Defensor was rather the point I was making:

    Did the Titan Returns boxsets not sell well? Like the G2CW seem to not sell well, also the likes of planet of Junk etc boxsets don't seem to do that we'll.

    Shame cos the TR boxsets are ace, even though I kept like 2-3 figures and sold the rest.

    G2 Optimus Maximums and Sky Reign would be bad ass.

    My suspicion is that certain CW ones, the early ones, didn't do as well as expected.

    We know the lead time on the TR boxsets thanks to the Transmissions Podcast Titan Wars leaks/rumors and the rumours for them start around when Victorion came out.

    The numbers on the CW boxes gets Hasbro to reduce production numbers on the first 2 TR boxes, kill the last 2, stuff the clones together, put Magnus (compare his function to Rodimus and Thunderwing on the San Diego Comic Con 2017 - Trypticon Cereal Box list) in with Arcee (who might be herself from one of the boxes), put Scorponok (see Magnus above) in who knows where and Hasbro back away from big boxsets.......

    The platinum box sets were kind of weird. Trying to sell Hot Rod with Junkions when a mass retail version is on the shelves...or trying to sell the 1986 movie set with Blurr and Kup also hitting regular retail...and Springer isn't THAT hard to track down.

    Except with 86 movie characters, aside from Magnus. The cartoon designs came first there. One reason why I'd rather not see 86 movie characters homage the toys.
