Maybe they got mixed up at Lego's packaging plant, and shipped off one
german box to canada. That may be why it was in the clearance store -
they can't sell it if its not in english and french.
However, Lego doesnt seem to do any french on their RIS sets. I have the
RIS 2.0, Robosports, Ultimate Builders Set, and Ultimate Accessory Set,
and not one of them has any french. In fact, the UBS CD is in English,
German, and an oriental language (Japanese?).
The smaller sets are tri-lingual like theyve always been, except my
throwbots are originally english with stickers.
I would hate to see Lego slapped with a big fine cuz they didnt print
their boxes right. But maybe it's the responsibility of the retailer?

I dont think there was one in mine.
Pretend that German RIS 2.0s are funnier than everyone else's sig.
