I'm from Toronto, Canada.
I have the issue in question.
And I believe that Lego produces two diffrent Mania Magazines.
The Canadian version is bilingual and features only Canadian kids,
therefore, i'm betting that the people to the south recieve a diffrent Lego

Appearently the Canadian Mania Magazine is much, much BETTER. Cause our
magazines NEVER make those kinda mistakes... We are superiour!!!
Hail to the founders,
I remain,
