Hi Todd,
From a 1998 Retailers Catalogue, set number 6140 is called Stingray Crab, set
number 6160 is called Stingray Lobster, and 6198 is called Stingray Base.
The logo for UFO is shown as U.F.O. however set number 6900 is called UFO and
6975 is called UFO Mothership.
I can't comment on RoboForce as we never had those sets in this part of the
world, and for ThrowBots, they are all called Slizers over here :-)
