Interesting, this is probably the first time they've acknowledged trying to appeal to fans worldwide, although he doesn't suggest importing in as many words.

Goktimus had enquired about this specifically in the past, which suggested they literally could not take into account Hasbro's markets, but personally I never thought it would be as clear cut as that.
