Looks like a few more are making the roll.

The Storm Shadow I've been hoping for is coming, but I've since found one.  So, this'll be bonus, for me.

And we're still waiting to hear if these are coming to Canada.  By the lack of press images I'm guessing they're not, but it would be nice to know for certain.

Dang.  I would think that they'd make it to Canada...  I mean, they're getting so good at international releases with the rest of the line, it'd be a huge backwards step to keep them only State-side.

If they ship more American product to Canada we might see them, but as it stands it doesn't seem like they'll re-release the older figures on the Canadian card.

I dunno...  I guess I'm just seeing it differently.  to me, as it stands, they're already putting new product on Canadian Card...  if they're running another batch of figures through the molds, why not put them on Canadian Card too, be they old releases or not?

Its not like they're going into a warehouse and taking out a batch of old waves they've been squirreling away...  they're actually producing a whole new batch of figures.  So, they're already putting them on brand new (non-25th anniversary or foil) American cards...  it'd just make sense that they send a few to Canada on Canadian Card.

I sort of hope they don't put it on Canadian card. That way when Walmart Canada demands more figures hopefully some of these will make it up here.
