I bet Canada doesn't get 25th Anniversary Figures.

Look at all the pics of the packaging. Notice something? Yeah. English only. No French, No Spanish.

I'm thinking we won't see them in Canada.

Have a look yourself:

I see that - but that's on ALL joe stuff, even DTC - so I don't think it means much. Remember how the JvC and Spytroops stuff we DID get were all re-labeled with generic packaging and photocopied filecards? I'd bet IF we do see 25th stuff, it will be much later (a few months, at least) and be "repacked" like those were.

As long as the packaging is still done in Canada (I think), there is along shot we may get product.   BUt reviews and pics of the new figures (especially the head side views) have turned me off.  Not even making the effort for now to get them.

If they do hit Canada, it will be later. It takes time to do little stickers and photocopies...
Maybe in the fall or for the holidays? If we're lucky...
If some customers (cough) weren't so afraid of multi-language packaging it would be trilingual from the start and we wouldn't have this problem.

I'd probly only get them if they do end up being sold up here. As it stands now, I'm not really all that interested in them.

Large chunks of the US haven't seen these figures yet. I've only looked if I've been in a store for something else (buying oil/dvds at Wal-mart or something) but they've yet to even show here.
