The Girl (Gen 3) Expansion Kit and Other Old Assets

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum for this, so admins move as necessary.
I have been using Gen 3 DAZ figures pretty much exclusively since first discovering Studio back in 2007. Unless I'm misremembering, there was an expansion kit for The Girl that included injectable morphs. I have searched around the store but have thus far been unable to locate it.
Who might I contact to find out about acquiring this kit, or whether it's even possible? It seems a shame to just delete old assets like these, as there are incorrigible old grognards like me who still get decent mileage out of them.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Quite a few of the Generation 3 items have been retired. Everything that is still in store and flagged as being applicable to The Girl is here: https://www.daz3d.com/shop#p=2&filter_compat_figures=The%20Girl&filtered=1
As you can see, it's not a huge amount, only119 items when 'Hide Items I own' is off.

Looking through my product library I found a morph pack for The Girl. I got it as part of a bundle. It is no longer available and doesn't show up in the DAZ documentation center pages either. Boopsie is your only option right now.
There was also a product called Grrrl. I can't find it in the store, but there is Grrrl! Plus! the wording of the promo page makes it look like Grrrl is included.

As far as I can remember, this and Boopsie were the only morph packs. Everything else was individual all or nothing characters.
I think Grrrl Plus was an add-on for Girl 3, not for an intermediate product.
There's two Grrrl Plus products, one is a complete add-on for The Girl, and the second is an upgrade to people who already owned the original add-on, "Grrrl!".

Well, I purchased Boopsie, and while examining the ReadMe I discovered that "You must have DAZ3D's the Girl and Kim Goossens’ the Girl Morphs (emphasis mine) installed on your computer for Boopsie to function properly".
I brought Boopsie into Daz, and sure enough, a file called "! INJ KG Morphs" returned an error message about missing deltas. So for full functionality I will need to somehow acquire that old morph pack.
Some years back I was able to sweet-talk a staffer into "unretiring" the old DAZ Camel and allowing me to buy it, though this was before the whole "submit a ticket to tech support" thing that's used nowadays.
[soapbox]This is what grinds my gears about "disappearing" older content: sometimes other older content that grognards like me still get good mileage out of requires the "disappeared" stuff to function fully. But ultimately that's not my call to make.[/soapbox]
Just to be clear, there was a freebie that had the girl's head on Aiko 3's body that was called Girl 3. That is NOT what we're talking about. We're talking about the original Kim Goossens product The G.I.R.L which was entirely separate from the V3/SP3/M3 line except that it had a set of optional UV's that matched those characters so it could use V3 or Aiko 3 textures.
My apologies for the misinformation on my part. I did not see the Grrrl! product.
When I looked at my Boopsie zip, I noticed that there is a Boopsie CR2.
Do you have that?
Can you load it?
If you look at Parameters > General are there 50 or so dials? (The Girl Originally had 4).
That may be the entire Boopsie morph package pre installed.
The only functionality you'll lose is the ability to pick & choose which morphs are injected.
I can't really judge from my computer because I already have the pose injections installed.
