That's coz they were mail away bots, and in those days, kids dont have enough say so with regards to getting the mail away stuff, especially if you dont live in the US. Even if you collected enough robo points I dont think the parents could be bothered to add the dollars and mail it so you could get your toy. But somehow thank goodness these are now available via ebay and such. I got mine piecemeal coz the little weapons were so easy to loose. A little H2O2 bath should fix downshift but I havent gotten around to it.
