Did you happen to live in Japan where it was a giftset? Or did you just mean you happened to receive them all at the same time? That would have been a great gift, indeed!
I always assumed I got a gift set, I was a younger me then, but I got them all at once apparently. They were a birthday gift along with Computron at the time.
Some Combiner giftsets were available only via Takara, but the strange area that is Italy got Takara-only giftsets, like Abominus. How? GiG, the local distributor, licensed the IP from Hasbro, but got the figures from Takara, in Japanese deco in some cases.
