where the hell is the uniformity?

while its nice to see something different... would it have been to much to put a picture of the ACTUAL PRODUCT?

jeezus man... with the recent price hikes and now this, lack of product at the stores...

why is hasbro trying to hard to F____ this up?

I am glad I have everything and am caught up so far but at this point... if things get raised at BBTS due to the walmart hike then i am really gonna think about just stopping for now and just buying them all later.. when someone gets fed up and dumps thier stuff at cost or less than cost in 2 years or so

Those are for the markets out of the US so since you live in California, you don't need to worry about non-unique card art. But these do look so much better than the plain explosion cards.

I think they look nice, I might even be interested in getting some just for the card art alone.

Because doing art layout and printing cards for every single product in three languages is expensive. Your prices are only now catching up to what we pay. How much more do you think Canadians would have to pay if every card was unique? Remembering that the potential market in Canada is 1/10th that of the States. Even by making the cards trilingual so that they can be used in Mexico, South America and Europe doesn't give the same economy of scale.

Couldn't they have just slapped a tri-lingual sticker over the codename area and keep the original card art? The new cards are nicer but it still is not the original character art work that we all want.

Great figure design, minus one. Anyone else see the flaw in the figure?
