Oh that's interesting. Those Seacon numbers explain why the American ones came out in what people thought were a weird number order - the pairings on the product codes match the order the Takara ones were released, but the TT codes have been applied in the wrong order. So when those were sent out, the selects codes didn't run in sequence and some people thought they'd missed one.
Course it doesn't help that 5 is missing anyway, but the first ones sent out were 3 and 4 in the US because 2 and 6 were the second pair.

if you're lucky. If CW had B codes in 2015 you might get K numbers around 2027. You are officially allowed to necrobump this thread if that proves to be the case.

If CW was low Bs then Thrilling 30 must have been in the As at some point. I'm actually interested enough now to go and see what is on the FoC toy boxes in the loft to see what the numbering system was prior to A.

Just been to look at my RtS Wheeljack, which is the only still on card toy I own.
I have no idea what I'm looking for.

T30 Onion Paxo was A2376 according to the package shot still on Amazon.
Ooh. FoC Blaster and Steeljaw are A1603 and A1403.

Generations Dirge is 98452. So they must have just got to 99999 and gone to A0001.
Phew. Rest easy, folks. We have the knowledge.

I thought E = Earthrise so K = Kingdom? -Ralph No the product codes are just continual numbering. You're thinking of the numbering system for the toys Hasbro magicked up for Siege.

So WFC-E1 is Soundbarrier in the exciting list of Earthrise toys. But the product code Hasbro know him by is E7146. It's just coincidence that starts with an E as it's where the numbering system has got to since it started with A, which we've now determined was roundabout 2010.
I'm sure Phil has all these numbers in his head.
This is not what I should have been doing today.

Hmmmm. You see, Trailbreaker looks really good, but Sunstreaker still looks a bit shit. Not sure why.

Sunstreaker looks a bit off because of the massive yellow square that is his chest. It’s a bit too big. But it’s still the best Sunstreaker classics has given us.

It’s not Sunstreaker if he doesn’t have red shoulders.
