    Concur on having also spotted the MP-01 and Mega-SCF stuff in the past; but this type of thing isn't limited to Japan... the TRU Commemorative Series had a spelling error or two on the packaging, as I recall.

    Of course, in that case, it's not Engrish... it's just being sloppy. :lol

    But really, doesn't this just seem ridiculously appropriate for Grimlock?

    Maybe the typo was intentional, because it's for Grimlock, after all. ;) 

    j/k

    ha, I clicked on this thread and while the picture was loading I was like "I hope it says more than meets TEH eye!" sweet, just like mp1. I wonder if they did it on purpose this time. either way, I love it.

    I would take that as a positive point if my box said that.

    Not freakishly uncommon, but still amusing. My TRU Grapple has the "Atuobot" action on it. I dont know if thats the kind of thing that affects value at all, its just kinda funny. I do see the irony of a line called "Masterpiece" having spelling errors on the boxes. I dont have any of the MP line even though they all look pretty cool. Have fun with your Grimlock.
