ROM had a great comic book tie in back in the day - so why didn't the toy become more popular than it was? I think one major mistake was not looking to what Marvel was doing for inspiration in expanding the line. Pretty much all you could get was ROM himself, I saw no other Spaceknights on the shelves next to him, let alone vehicles and accessories. An even bigger issue was that you could not even purchase a toy Dire Wraith for him to battle with. What good was that cool weapon of his if you couldn't blast his arch enemies? That was truly a lost opportunity.
