Exactly, kids aren't going to care about the packaging. It's all about the toys. Remember, collector's are a minority for Hasbro.

Don't get me wrong though, I still think it's hilariously cheap.

QC is shit on IDW Thundercracker....just transforming it you get stress marks in the blue plastic. I recommend that no one pays more then $10 for that toy.

But I need FOC TC to complete my FOC seeker trio with my Takara SS and SW.

Well it's really too bad that one bad apple is spoiling the bunch here in our beloved country, I'm just sayin' I hope everyone remembers why this packaging situation and neutered toys are being shipped here not to mention the litany of many other retail things that we either don't get or have to pay more for because it has to be modified in some way to meet a law that is in my opinion discriminatory and should be challenged or changed. I agree that as a bilingual country each language should be supported and I wish I knew our other language better and it was taught better but having the country be held hostage by one province to do it I think is the wrong approach to protecting it's culture. Leave it as a choice Anyway I hope people wise up and change the status quo with their votes.

Canadian version of IDW Generations has the WORST packaging I have seen for Tfs in my entire life... Is there a line that's worst than this one
