"DRIFT hunts for the evil DECEPTICONS, bringing his own justice to them"

Thanks Hasbro. Freaking thanks.

Aside from sounding overly fanboyish (which let's face it, faboyism is rampant when it comes to Drift) I don't see the problem.

Single sentence bio's due to multi-lingual packaging is probably the problem, right? Us Europeans have had to deal with that crap for years... Anyhow, be thankful you actually have Drift: I have yet to see most of the HftD Transformers at retail here. All I've seen is Jetblade, deluxe Ironhide and Sea Attack Ravage, and the first wave scouts...

I've probably brought up this issue a couple times, but I just don't see how the rest of Canada has to deal with international packaging when it just should be Quebec... sigh. I won't be having any physical packaging bios in Generations because of it.. it's just complete wtfzorz.

That's all that's out in my area too, I was lucky enough to score Bumblebee who seems to sell like hotcakes! By the by, if you want a Leader Prime from Europe, forget it: I spotted one at an independently owned toy store and guess what phrase he had. You guessed it, "Optimus Prime", the same truncated line from the original European RotF Leader! :BOOM:

Yeah, I was complaining about this too. Why couldn't they put 'em on the back of the instructions like they did for...was it Movie 2007?

Like everything else Kirben? It's only in Generations where us Canadians are treated like this - although I'm guessing the new HFTD is the exact same.

Nuke Quebec.

Problem solved.

Aside from the one-sentence bios (tranlated for 12 languages...) the price of the figures suck (your wallet empty), too.

True, I guess ROTF had it on the instructions too, although that was a relatively new phenomenon - I don't remember pre-2007 figures having that, but then they actually had proper bios on the cards, IIRC.

Yeah, HFTD has sucky packaging too.
