What is the difference between a hexbug nano and a hexbug nano mutation?

Answer 1

nanos are divided into collections and sets within the collections. There are currently two collections, the Newton Collection and the Galileo Collection. The Newton currently has 3 sets, Gravity, Motion and Orbit. The Galileo Collection currently has 1 set, Astronomy. The Galileo Collection is Glow In The Dark. There are 5 nanos pert set, each a different color. Each set has it's own unique design on it's back. The mutations have a different design on their backs. The Starter Set, Habitat Set and Elevation Set nanos all share a design that appears to be a corruption of the design on the backs of the Motion set. This is also true of the Spiral Starter Set which shares the same mutation as the Starter Set. All the GITD mutations also share this design. The Battle Bridge and Raceway mutations all have a specific design unique to each nano. The mutations are sold to the general public as part of each different Habitat Set. However, if you contact Hexbug Customer Service all the mutations are generally available for purchase through Hexbug Customer Service as separate items, at a premium price plus shipping.
