So that would probably mean we will see him on our shelves without a problem.

One thing I notice, the name seems to be just a sticker on the box.

I'm offended by that name. That's exactly how I feel being a Monday morning :p

I think the bird on the road out the front is feeling somewhat similar. :p:D

It's because all the boxes for Spastic would have already been printed and scrapping them and reprinting whole new boxes for Over-Run would be very costly. It's much cheaper to just print stickers and paste them over the Spastic names. If I were Hasbro it's exactly what I would've done.

I figured they were going to do it that way anyway. I was just pointing it out, as i noticed the sticker wasn't put on perfectly :p

Should be relatively easy to peel back the sticker if one was so inclined ;)

Should've been Run-Over. Ah well, they probably don't have the name anymore anyway.

Should be easy enough to peel it off with HD's Zippo lighter fluid technique:D wonder if the cardback would be a rare collector item in the future, hmmmm:p

Well someone certainly had a fun job of putting all those stickers on hundreds of thousands of boxes.... and there's about half a dozen places on the packaging with the toy name - all of which needed a sticker over them.

Better not lead to a controversial public event that stalls the TF distribution in Aussie shelves otherwise I'll start pointing the finger to a particular someone!! :D

Ha! LOL! :p:D
It'll be fun to see the reactions of parents that's for sure, but if it means that those good for nothing but landfill PCCs get pulled - I'll consider that a win. :D
