I don't know about most, but I bookmark the front page. That way I don't miss anything recent as opposed to searching through posts that were recently replied to for a news tidbit. It just takes a single click to get to the forums.

Wonder how big the next run will be. There'll probably be too many Docs, with some left over, by the time the offer closes.

I hope that a second run would be the same number and somehow marked differently from the first. That should ensure both can retain a certain value rather than have Doc's value plummet because the market is flooded with them.

value shmalue
i'm more concerned for the people who wanted a Doc because they like it, not because of its artificial value. |

There are two "values" that would be affected. A monetary one and its desirability. The monetary one is a somewhat arbitrary method of measuring its desirability. If Doc becomes too common, then people will lose interest in adding them to their collections. Most people don't collect things that are easily obtained. The reason Doc is so desirable to collectors is because he is a hard figure to come by, much like the much desired convention exclusives. Make it too easy, and he'll be a "peg-warmer" like Buzzer. Collectors can feel a sense of pride and accomplishment when they can see that "rare" piece in their collection.

As for the Docs, yes this got blown outta control. Yes a lot of grown people started acting like children. Was it justified, to an extent. But the argument is over and there are more being produced. I would imagine enough is being produced to cover up to the cutoff deadline. |

yea I stated it but for some odd reason my thread was deleted. I think there is some propaganda going on about the Doc rumors. It really has me confused. I think the fact that we continually promote a false rumor and won't support the truth is hurting this websites credibility(sp) IMHO.

The following is a post I saw when I logged into my GIJOECLUB.COM today:
HASBRO NEWS: We are pleased to let fans know that after sending out the full allotment of DOC figures from the mail away promotion, we are producing a second run of figures to make sure that everyone who participates gets a figure. If you have not received your figure yet, please hold tight as the second shipment is due in September. There is hope for those of us who haven't recieved our doc yet |
