...well packaging could be the reason but it could be other things too. RHanson has provided us with detailed and concrete accounts of the first announcement of his retail availability in Canada and then of subsequent delays. For his claims like 'might show up on the West coast first' are substantiated with real information. Your account sounded like speculation, so I am more inclined to accept what he presents.
This statement:
"However if not let your rep know that in Canada we speak two languages, which Hasbro is hesitant to accept, and like to delay with that reason."
What does that really mean in the scope of SW's release and delays? There have been two delays since his original announcement of retail release in Canada (itself delayed from US release), the initial delay could be for producing multilanguage packaging but these subsequent ones?
