Title: Canadian Joe Packing in for a Change?
Post by: freakx2001 on January 03, 2009, 09:25:52 PM
Hey Guys,

just read over on cyberton.ca (http://www.cybertron.ca/boards/showthread.php?t=12880 (http://www.cybertron.ca/boards/showthread.php?t=12880)) that the Canadian packaging for Transformers universe is in for a change. No longer will there be generic cards, each transformer will finally get their correct card (i.e. art work). any word if this will be hitting Joe packaging any time soon?

Maybe this should be submitted as one of the Joe Canuck questions this month.

I know I would certainly start to buy Canadian carded Joes if they had the art work that we all know and love.

Fingers crossed!

Cool, that'll make it easier to find TF's while looking down the pegs. 

I doubt we'll see Joe make that transition for quite some time.  I hate having to look through each peg to find the one's I'm looking for instead of being able to glance down the box art.  :shifty:

Hopefully Hasbro will realize that adult Canadians are the ones clearing out all the Joes across the country and will focus a bit more on us. I am sure most of the MOC collectors would stop buying imports if we got character art. The real problem is bilingual file cards though, ugh.

I've heard  :shifty:  that the movie line product will have individual character art, and that any exclusives during this time (which I think is the only way we'll see non-movie product) will depend on how much the retailer orders.
