First, take a look, proof that Amazon is selling Chaos on Velocitron:
And second, some acknowledgement that TRU's distribution system is completely junk, via the fact my local TRU has 3 sets of the Chaos on Velocitron set (and didn't even have a location set for it until this week):

I don't get what makes this set so hot? Nautica? Fastlane? Are there that many people in love with Quickswitch?

Fastlane and Rodimus are alright but I can take them and leave them, and while I still hate that this really doesn't look like Nautica; this is still the only representation of one of my favourite characters and the best female Transformers character.
Unfortunately half the boxset's price is taken up by some nobody who doesn't even look like himself.

Granted they'd probably need to rename him, but that's OK- Slammoth Prime, Colossus Prime or Behemoth Prime would all work, with Titan Master Tuskor.

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

The only thing that is the same on them are the legs (which is a completely separate piece) and even then the crotch is different.

Not that every post needs to be a unfunny meme.

Reshelling is more when the base body is the same but the altmode bits are changed, Overlord goes beyond that.
