If Hasbro required too few FPs/BPs, they would completely run out of Doc figures in a "heartbeat" <---snirk! 
Hey Omegawrath, how many was that you had again?

Everyone keeps on saying OMFGWTFBBQ over 50 points...but considering that, as GunSlinger pointed out, we aren't using them for anything else...it really shouldn't be that big of a deal.
Now, if it was 500 points I'd be bitchin' louder than anyone. But 50? Meh. That's nothin' ;) | |

I have a total of 395 cut but I may have a comic pack (5 points), maybe a 6-pack or two (10 points), and maybe some from vehicles that I haven't found so I should have a little over 400. I was hoping for a few more but that should leave me with 350 for future mail-ins if they continue to let us use them.

But none of the DTC stuff had points did they? I got back in to Joes with a few of the DTC figs, and then really when the 25th stuff came out. Plus that's 5 6-packs, or around $150 worth of points, for Doc.
EDIT: Heh, listen to me complain, just cause I can't have my way! ;) | |

As for the 6-packs, 5 would be $100 since at the time they were $20 each. It would be about $91 for 13 2-packs (52 points) if they were $7 a pack or $65 if they were $5, I can't remember the price at the time. If you look at it that way paying $60 for 6 comic packs for the stickers isn't that bad price wise. Still 50 points is a little high.
