So I believe I may have asked this question of an Arker or two individually, but I'd like to get a general consensus across the board.

As we all may or may not know, Marvel Universe figures produced for Canada often have all text printed in English, Spanish, and French, making the packaging significantly different. This isn't an issue whatsoever for the non-MOC collectors, but raises a few questions for the MOC collectors like myself.

First off, are all MU waves that are released in the US also released in Canada? Are they released on a smaller scale? Would say a Canadian packaged Blade or colored vision be even more rare than a US packaged one?

I realize that even most MOC collectors won't be interested in collecting these packaging 'variants' (differences), but I've gotten one or two of them in my trades, and I'm trying to decide if I'd like to collect these as well.

How many MOC collectors try to get these too? Aside from having to collect all 200 figures over again, and some of them possibly not being available at all, and moving forward trying to collect new waves with Canadian packaging too, this seems like an interesting aspect of collecting this series.

I know, I know, I'm crazy for not opening mine, and even crazier for considering collecting Canadian packaging variants, but I'm getting close to completing the US MU, and am thinking of new challenges to mount without branching into other series. So any insight any of you have would be greatly appreciated!
