Other than possible theft by other interested parties I couldn't care less about who knows what I'm buying.

Of course, it was more of a joke than anything else....

EE's shipping boxes though, let me tell you, those are some absolute cringe. "Who's ready for an unboxing?" plastered on the side makes me suddenly not want to unbox anything, rather, it makes me question some of my life choices.

As a FedEx Enployee, the first time I found out Pokémon Center has a box tape decorated with Pokeballs Pikachus and CHarizards wearing postal satchels was in the middle of the sort when like 20 of these boxes showed up and I had to fight so hard to keep my geek flag from totally unfurling right there with 50 complete strangers

I can't imagine how you'd be in my local convenience store.
Even the alcohol has anime on it...

Man, there's so much that would be illegal about that display in the US. Gotta love Japan.

Cartoon characters used for selling alcohol (doesn't matter if the cartoon character is for adults, too) and alcohol being displayed with products intended for children. The first one is definitely a big no-no, the latter would probably just get a lot of complaints and most stores around here wouldn't do it in the first place.

The first one would never get past the label approval. The requirements are ridiculously strict. My neighbor owns a brewery that uses a mythical beast theme (centaur, satyr, etc.) and they can't use any of their trademark characters even though they have zero connection to anything for kids, and their products can only be sold in their brewery and liquor stores.
Captain Morgan has a realistic design that gives no impression of him being a children's character.william-james88 wrote:TF-fan kev777 wrote:Emerje wrote:primalxconvoy wrote:Emerje wrote:primalxconvoy wrote:Flashwave wrote:ScottyP wrote:Mine arrived yesterday from an Entertainment Earth preorder.

Weird, at least in Canada we can have mythical beasts and other cool stuff, like a Kraken.
But Captain Morgan is a cartoon Pirate (on the label) and he's available in the US. I guess the requirements are less strict when you pay in dubloons.

Gonna disagree big time. He looks like any stereotypical pirate drawing from a kids book. I have a bottle at home and my kids thought it was captain hook at first.
If they didn't have the rhum at the bottom of this photo, I would be sure this was an illustration meant for kids related media.
He's drawn realistic enough to pass legal.william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Captain Morgan has a realistic design that gives no impression of him being a children's character.william-james88 wrote:TF-fan kev777 wrote:Emerje wrote:primalxconvoy wrote:Emerje wrote:primalxconvoy wrote:Flashwave wrote:ScottyP wrote:Mine arrived yesterday from an Entertainment Earth preorder.

was there ever any discourse over the Abominus set? God I felt like that flew way under my radar (and shocked to see it in stock no less).
Also, do we think any more of the Pulse-Con Galvatron (unicron add-ons) will come in? I'd dropped the ball there, and almost feel like if you purchased Uniron through Haslab, they should have given you first crack. *sigh*
