Who is "the LD" ??? I didnt get to buy the Pokemon TFG the first time it came around to Australia, and i dont want to miss out the second time around !
If its the LD people making the decisions, i want to try and change their minds! Hopefully they realise there is new packaging (without the poor collation - which would probably have turned a lot of people off) and the pokemon all have spinners now which might make it more attractive to people to buy again.
LD = Local Distributor
Australia's LD is Croftminster.
It's really unlikely that foreign countries will buy anytime soon the new TFGs, even if the 2nd expansion has been already translated a looong time ago.
This is due to the big flaws of the INTL release, which has all been fixed thanks to th INTL people's advices, for US release.
Of course, as people here lost a lot of money for this product, they don't want to take risk again. It's a shame, those new figures are really nice, and the game itself has a potential.
Important point of fact. There is no translation here. The original language of release for the TFG is English. There has yet to be a Japanese release of even the Next Quest set, to my knowledge.
