Talk:Bug Bite (GoBots)
The Games of Deception preview pages parses it "Bug Bite." Hoo-ha. Can I re-redirect? --ItsWalky 06:06, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- About to say.. wasn't it "Bug Bite" originally? I would not be remotely shocked to see it officially parsed as both two words and one (wonder what the packaging says), but if we have both and the ORIGINAL ORIGINAL is two words, I'd go with two. --M Sipher 06:23, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- Damn straight! Back to the real spelling! --ItsWalky 06:30, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- why was it ever not bug Bite in the first place? There couldn't have been an established romanization from the e-hobby set. Mere oversight? -Derik 11:01, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- I assume you're asking about why this article was at Bugbite, one word? Well, it started out as two words, but the BotCon website announcement of the exclusive has it as a single word, so the article was moved to match that. (If you're actually asking why the BotCon website has it as a single word when the comic parses it as two, then yeah, probably an oversight.) --KilMichaelMcC 13:34, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Number of Bug Bite toys made
The Wiki entry says 1500. I assume that this comes from the number 1100 (as indicated on the "certificate of authenticity" regarding the box sets) and 400 (the number of loose sets we were told were made). Yet, the number on the certificate (1100) is at variance with both an e-mail sent by Brian Savage on May 4 (which also confirmed the number of loose sets at 400) and the notice put up at www.botcon.com on that same date, both of which said 1050 box sets were made. Naturally, this would make the total number of toys 1450. I'm inclined to believe that the certificate is in error, but if anyone has more solid information, I'd certainly welcome it.--G.B.

- I'm confused as to how many Primus packages were sold this year before they sold out, since there are also the non-attendee box sets to account for. -Rotty 22:40, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- I certainly don't pretend to know how many are "Primus" (attendee) sets and how many are "Iacon" (non-attendee) sets, but since they're physically the same, I'm not sure it matters. There were 1050 (or 1100, depending on which source is to be believed) box sets. That's "Primus" and "Iacon" together. The 400 loose sets were available to either one, equally. "Primus" buyers weren't given preference over "Iacon" buyers on loose sets.--G.B. Blackrock 23:10, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
