I have always wondered this, and have never seen it discussed. And I know there isn't a lot of G2 talk out there anyway, so I thought it would make an interesting discussion.
The G2's originally were sold everywhere, but after 1998 Hasbro stopped production in the US, and maybe Canada too? But I'm not sure. All of the G2's from 1999 onward were sold in Europe only. And I was wondering, who designed the European G2's? Were they designed by the main company (US Hasbro), or do you think that one of the European branches of Hasbro designed them?
