I'd rather think 25th Joes will only be released in Canada, which explains the french; and Mexico (spanish).
Seeing thoses in Europe seems very unlikely.
For example, as a french guy i recall always seeing the packages containing both french and dutch: (France and Benelux area); others in german and a third kind in both italian and spanish.

I hope i'm wrong; i'd love to see these available at my local Toys"r"Us. That would avoid me to pay shipping costs from the US...

I contacted TRU UK with a very specific question about whether they would be stocking the 25th line. This is the response:

Well, this is exactly how the cards look in Canada. Very lame Hasbro!

Don't get me wrong, I'll take what I can get, but I just can't understand why they would kill the awesome card art on the front.

Have you seen Canada released 25th figures? As far as I know, no one has seen them released here (other than the box sets).

We should dub these "ugly cards" instead of "Canadian cards" or "International cards", maybe Hasbro will take the hint if we refer to them as .....
"Snake eyes, Wave 5 - Ugly Card"

I dont mind the stickers or the crappy card back nearly as much as the missing Character art on the front. It's just such an eye-sore. They really are the 'ugly' cards, arent they.
