But what does that mean? US boxes also have the QC address on them. Are all BS figures distributed out of QC but we Canadians get the shaft?

No, Hasbro has just gone to printing "generic type" packaging, ie. that can be used in countries outside US without needing to be redesigned & printed separate. The box also lists the US head office on it, and the phone number is for both US and Canada. Basically, the packaging covers all their bases.

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion

I think the last time I saw English only packaging on a 6" Hasbro action figure was for the Marvel Legends Guardians of the Galaxy wave, and i remember thinking how odd it was to get US packaging at a TRU in Canada and also that Hasbro was probably about to receive a fine from the French language police.

I can't believe I'm about to say this but...Hasbro was smart to do Quad-lingual packaging as it will save them a ton of money when it comes to printing the boxes.

Also if Black Series is jumping up to $27.99, we in Ontario will be paying $31.63 after taxes per figure(not sure the tax structure in the other Provinces)...would love to see what Hasbro's profit margins look like.
