Exclamation Canadian Transformers Packaging Archive Launched

Cybertron.ca has launched the Canadian Transformers Packaging archive. The goal of this archive is to gather as many images of Transformers in package as they would be seen on Canadian shelves. This includes product from the early days of Generation 1, all the way up to the latest releases of today. In order to accomplish this we need your help! If you have Transformers in Canadian packaging that we don't have, especially Generation 1, please scan it or take a picture and post them here for us to add. Thanks in advance to all members of Cybertron.ca for your help in working towards this goal and check out Canadian Transformers Movie Cards and Boxes of upcoming product not yet released in Canada.

Re: Canadian Transformers Packaging Archive Launched

Here's what I could find in my files. Most of these are real old pics gathered from around the net, tho' (ok, so they all are). I'll try to have my camera on-hand nest time I go to my parents where most of my still-boxed stuff is.

Re: Canadian Transformers Packaging Archive Launched

And here's what I found for RiD. I think these are really Canadian versions of the packaging because from what I gathered, the American versions of the Combiners didn't have the tri-lingual "Combiner/Fusionneurs/Combina" logo on 'em (just plain, old 'Combiner'):



Hope this helps out some.

Re: Canadian Transformers Packaging Archive Launched

Oh man, there's a guy in Toronto who sells on ebay who has every single G1 Cdn release except 3 (even rare ones like Devi and Menasaur). He's the only guy I know who's made a real attempt at completing the G1 series Cdn MIB.

I have a couple g1 cdn though, I'll take pics later.

for the archive, yes. A good quality pic of front and back is great.

I did a few sample ones, just to make sure that these are what you are looking for:








Do these work?

ALso: I am using a Cannon powershot digital camera, but can seem to get a decent shot without a white flash mark...any suggestions?

Re: Canadian Transformers Packaging Archive Launched

Mount it on a tripod and do full auto shot with flash turned off. Should turn out well.

Re: Canadian Transformers Packaging Archive Launched

Ok, so I did a few more using Jeff's advice and there is now no flash mark , but they are still a little off...

I am going to borrow some lenses from my brother to see if I can get a better shot...
