Side Note: This is mainly for the American stores.

As it has been in the past, it’s looking like Target is the best choice in terms of cool features. All other places just have the standard packaging and pretty much the same special features, and Target is the only place offering the cool cards and packaging. Like I’ve said before, I don’t know what kind of deal they have with Summit, but they must have something going since they always have little extras every time.
