Like packages an odd size in Imperial measure because it's a round number in metric
H = Nyíregyháza, Hungary
R = Ciénega de Flores, Mexico
S = Kladno, Czech Republic
Q = Purkersdorf, Austria
B = Shenzhen, China (Not Confirmed)
M = Billund, Denmark (Not Confirmed)
O = Billund, Denmark (Not Confirmed)
On a related topic, I wonder why LEGO hasn't just adopted a universal package that has all the information on it for all the markets. I don't think most of the world would mind if their boxes had the number of pieces printed on them.
Huh...European kids must love eating Lego then...*devious thoughts ensue*

Most of what is there is regular North America production but most of that has been there awhile rather than a restock and one of the aisles is looking pretty empty
CCC said: And since those languages include English, French and Spanish, LEGO wouldn't need to add any
I doubt different dialects would matter for such a short phrase and I rarely see such translations. For example except for Simplified and Traditional Chinese Magic the Gathering cards are printed in only one version of a language.
I also see German, Italian, Portuguese, Greek, Korean, Russian, a few Scandinavian presumably including Danish, 2 other Asian (Chinese dialects? Chinese and Japanese?)
I bought #75249 at Target last week, and it has normal NA box labeling (no stickers). However, it is the kind you open with thumb tabs, so no tape seals. In the white rectangle near the UPC is a small 2D bar code and the codes:
223S0
025759.
I don’t see any embossed codes on the box anywhere.
If the “S” above means the Czech factory, then they must be doing NA labeling over there. But the 223S0 code doesn’t quite track with the decoding previously posted here. The trailing 0 probably means 2020, but I’m not sure about 223. Maybe second day of 23rd week, or third day of 22nd week? That would be end of May, start of June by my count.
