As a kid and up to this day, I absolutely hate that law and I'm a bit biased cause I live in the west coast where French is hardly used. As a kid, I hated it cause our filecards will have a lot less text so that they can accomodate the French. Just look at a US and a CDN filecard comparison on Yojoe.com and you'll know what I mean.
Well that certainly does suck. Sorry to hear that. The cards have always been part of the fun in getting the figures.

You'd think that if they're gonna go that route with cards, they'd skip the silver box and center the figure over the yellow "explosion". You know do something to use the remaining artwork.

But I guess that would require new steps in the packaging placement...

Bright side being you have no reason to keep them MOC so get them out and play with them a little while before placing them on the shelf to collect dust.

Exactly, that's why I buy these usually when I want to get multiples such as guys like CG and Snow Job. The others, I'd just wait till my friend at the comic shop gets them in. I open all my figs (well, most of them at least) but I do like the card art. It sucks, but like you guys say, at least we are getting them.

Yuck! So much for my plans of moving to Canada when this global warming mess really starts kicking in. Does anybody know if they have Joes up in Alaska?

You know, although the card sucks, I'm glad to see our friends to the North finally seeing something worthwhile (before some in the U.S. have). When the FRACK have you ever heard of someone from Missasagua find something before someone from Mississippi?

That is just retarded. When those surfaced last month or so I just thought they were mock-ups or something. That is the most pathetic excuse for packaging I have ever seen.

Oh and F Quebec
