I just sat down for dinner but will post some pictures shortly.  Any specific requests?

Edit: A couple of pics (sorry for the crappy quality).

No picture, ouch. I can appreciate that it is cheaper to mass print a single card rather than character specific cards, but just an explosion looks really empty. And the sticker is pretty weak. But kudos to Hasbro Canada for giving the figures a test run up here. Hopefully this means more to come.

That's sort of funny. I wonder how many guys in the USA are going to want our crappy pictureless version. Good news is it's a great template for custom cards.  :shifty:

WTF.

That is horrible.

I'm glad I didn't find any. I may pick up one to use as a base for a custom package someday, but I am really not impressed.

I'll be getting mine from the states I guess. Getting screwed on the filecards is one thing, getting screwed with this bulk generic packaging is quite another. Unacceptable.

Remember when Ninja Turtles first came to Canada? All our cards had pictures of Raphael, rather than each character getting their own card. I think picking a generic character to put on all the cards would have been much better than the empty explosion.

I had a flashback of "Who's that Pokemon?" from when the kids use to watch that show.  It looks like the before and after picture of "Who's that GI Joe".

Christ, Ontario has wave 5 before most of WNY gets them.  Most of this region [as far as I've read store reports for] has yet to see wave 4 or 5.  A couple sightings a week or two before christmas and nothing NOT bought by scalpers for the flea market since.  And I'm so not exaggerating like I wish I was.

You guys might have generic, empty, half-ass packaging but at least y'all have access to them.  I'm half tempted to pay the $12 for each one of them from the "dirt mall" market just to finally have them.   >:(



And if you free them from the bubbles, its irrelevant anyway, they still army build spectacularly.

Figures. As soon as I leave the country.

If anyone can hook me up with a set, I'd appreciate it.

Man, I am so jealous, none of the Wal-Mart's I go to have them, the reg or the super.  just as a note, the super walmarts have full service grocery stores.

Man, that packaging is a joke.  I guess I will still continue to gets the waves from the USA and only loking for extra army builders up here. 

So far, I found nothing in the Toronto and Durham area Wal-marts.  Most of the toy areas haven't recovered from Xmas.
