I got a question and I don't know the answer (but because I'm curious), I'm now interested to know more about it myself! Here it is:

I recently read a post that stated that some of the Canadian filecards (vintage I assume) were written in English only... Is that correct? I have only found Canadian filecards that are both English/French. The only thing I can think of is maybe some of the mail aways might have been English only... Can you shed any light on that?[/i]
Anyone can help? Thanks!
Martin

I don't know whether Starduster, Ninja Vipers or any 90's mail-away got an English/French filecard (I've never paid close attention to them, though).
However, I do know that sometimes you could get US packaged items on the shelves (Toys R Us mostly) and thats where some confusion might be taking place.

The other thing to look out for with Canadian Joes is the file cards. While some are identical to US versions, others are printed in English and French, and yet others are English-only variations unique to Canada. I have two pretty unique Canadian file cards in my collection....one is for Spirit V1 (the file card lists his code-name as "Shaman") and the other is for Scarlett V1 (the picture depicts Cover Girl). I have also heard that some Canadian file cards changed the place of birth of the character to a Canadian city.

From my research, the Covergirl filecard pic only appears on the 1984 32 back version of the Canadian Scarlett (I've seen 11 backs and 20 backs, but they have the normal Scarlett pic).

They are different from the US because:
1- They are bilingual
2- :hasbro:

We really should start a wiki for canadian exclusives and variants!

It's really a good thing that I never gave away my own filecards unless I had them in double. I put all mine in a black box so that I may forget them over time. Now comes the fun part: finding out what small treasures I might find in there :)
