I'm really as confused as you, but apparently back in the g1 days each wave of toys was assigned a unique assortment number. The number was actually printed on the packaging, along with the product number. So, for the sake of completion, we have a record for each toy in each assortment. If you look very closely at some of the photos you can see the differing assortment numbers. That's about all I know; hopefully some of our more knowledgeable members will chime in with more information.
