They wouldn't do that to us. Red will be the more popular, they know that, just like the ARAH version of Zarana last year (although Cold Slither probably would have sold out regardless of how many they made).

The (arguably) more popular Slaughter was the variant though.

I guess I meant when there was a clear distinction, they wouldn't make the more desired the harder to get.
I would argue back that more kids had a USA Slaughter as kids than TTT. I know I did. |

Really? I would have guessed it was the other way around. I had a TTT one, but no mail-in.

Hmmm, I wonder if there's a small caveat in that the LJN mail-away was also the USA Sarge, thus justifying greater numbers of the USA version because of his appeal to vintage collectors and wrestling fans in attendance at SDCC?

Also, as a Canadian collector, the USA Slaughter just didn't appeal to me cause they didn't change the shirt to say CDA like the did on his Triple T! (I kid) But seriously, I really hated how Hasbro Canada changed all the USA stickers to Canadian and changed USA to CDA on the toys but when the Battle Corps Gung Ho came out, he still had the US flag. It annoyed me as a kid and after I grew up and rebuilt my collection, I replaced all Canadian versions with the USA version.
