I was living in Japan when Beast Wars came out, so I didn't notice which toys we missed here. Although Japan didn't get some figures like Razorbeast (so I had to hunt them down later), but we did get some cool stuff like Shadow Panther and the Volcano playset.

The funny thing was that Australia got the European packaging with the early BW toys, which a lot of people didn't like - primarily because their tech specs sucked... but for me they were kind of a novelty since I was more used to the American and Japanese packaging. The first BW Transformer I bought in Australia was Inferno; and I really liked his European box. But then one day my dad tried to throw it out. I retrieved it from the recycling bin, but then later on when I was out he chucked it out again, and by time I got him it had been collected by the garbage truck! NAAWWWWW!!

Ah well.
