    I believe it was the packaging for the Mega SFC figures that had that horrible English translated to Japanese translated to English mangling of the franchise slogan.

    Hardly the first time Takara spelled some English wrong on a toy package.

    Doesn't strike me as Engrish. Looks more like the work of someone who spends lots of time on the Internet.

    What teh hell?

    I'm actually pretty damn surprised such a spelling error would make it to production. You would think that several people would have spent quite a bit of time looking at the packaging before finalizing it.

    99.9% likely. I think by now it's pretty much confirmed that both the "HK version" and "JPN version" have the spelling error, urrrhhh, intact.

    That's awesome! It's like the old artists credo of leaving one imperfection in teh work because only God can make something perfect (or something like that). Now I can add one more reason for me to look forward to getting teh big G in the mail. :D

    They actually do this to piss off americans, since engrish is part of their daily life and they don't care.

    The Pioneer G1 Laserdisc sets (wich costed me nearly 300 bucks each) have some awesome usage of engrish. 'Autobot Editon' was one of them.
