	* The contest rules also clarify, somewhat, what "lots of Beast Wars and Beast Machines toys" means. They state that the grand prize winner will receive the "entire line of Hasbro's Beast Machines and Beast Wars toys" totaling 56 toys in all. Since Beast Wars on it's own had more than 56 toys by the time of the contest, it's not possible that the winner got the entire line. Fifty six does, however, equal the total number of Beast Wars and Beast Machines toys released at US retail in [[1998]] and 1999. This includes the [[Airazor (BW)#BasicVid\|Beast Wars VHS]] [[Razorclaw (BW)#video\|pack-ins]] and the [[Rattrap (BW)#WalMart\|Wal-Mart exclusive Transmetal Rattrap]]. This also lines up when looking at the estimated retail cost of the toys, "approximately $600". In the two aforementioned years there were 17 basics (including the VHS packs) at $6.99 each, 27 deluxes at $9.99 each, 7 megas at $14.99 each, 4 ultras at $19.99 each, and 1 super ([[Optimus Primal (BW)/toys#OptimalOptimus\|Optimal Optimus]]) at $29.99. This equals $118.83 + $269.73 + $104.93 + $79.96 + $29.99 = $603.44.		* The contest rules also clarify, somewhat, what "lots of Beast Wars and Beast Machines toys" means.
