			:I think the problem is it's very hard for fans, especially years later, to tell the difference between a shop receiving product through the regular supply channels that just comes in the wrong packaging for whatever reason (e.g. mistakes at the packaging plant or surplus stock from the US being sent to a market a year behind rather than producing new cards or packaging intended for one grouping of European countries going to another), an individual shop or chain getting a product otherwise skipped in that country as an exclusive (my memory is that the G2 Aerialbots in the UK were stickered as being a Woolworths exclusive), collector focused shops that legitimately import directly instead of or in addition to the local distribution and a shop having alternative suppliers who provide out of territory product. It all results in foreign packaging being on sale in that country but isn't all for the same reason.
