All requests must be postmarked by August 31, 2008.

The exclusive G.I. Joe Doc figure will be mailed within 6-8 weeks from receipt of the redemption request. (Please note: product does not begin shipping until May 1, 2008.)

This offer is good for a limited time only and while supplies last. Official Redemption Certificates must be postmarked by August 31, 2008. Incomplete entries (missing the Official Redemption Certificate, one or more proof-of-purchase stickers, and/or payment) will not be honored. No copies, duplicates or other reproductions will be accepted. HASBRO reserves the right to verify all redemptions and reject any insufficient redemption at its sole discretion. Offer valid for redemption by end users only; excludes resellers and distributors. Void where taxed, prohibited or restricted by law. HASBRO is not responsible for late, lost, misdirected, damaged, mutilated, incomplete, illegible or postage-due redemptions. Offer valid in U.S. only for fulfillment at U.S. addresses. No P.O. boxes will be accepted.

Wow, product doesn't ship until May? Interesting.

All, please note: It is in your best interest to make a photo copy/scan of your items before you mail them in. Also, it is in your best interest to ensure that your envelope is trackable. Since many of us will send in our requests "nice & early", having proof of mailing will be a big win for "you" if in case the clearing house that's handling the mail-in claims that your package was never received (happened to me with Unmasked storm Shadow).

Now, for my Nerd Anger Moment:

Not only do I have to buy CPs that I don't want (I'm lookin' at you, Snake Eyes & Storm Shadow), but I have to pay $4.95 too? Add in the fact that I will send my submission via Priority Mail..and now Doc is going to cost me $11.00 regardless of the fact that I bought SIX comic packs? RABBLE!

*End Nerd Anger Moment*

count me out on this, unless 6 stickers affords you the opportunity to buy as many as you want at $4.95 per figure. but if it is 6 stickers only gets you one, $64.95 for one figure hardle seems worth it especially when you consider the 6 sets that you have to buy. now, perhaps the stickers will also be put in single packs as well. then, it would be a good deal. Hasbro hasn't said that they wouldn't or that the offer was exclusive to the comic packs, have they?

yea, exactly what he said ^^ (C.I.A.D.)

Thats going to be one hot eBay figure. I think the stickers are Comic 2-pack only Gun Slinger.

I want the comic 2 packs so really its no big deal to get the stickers for me. However I can see how people are a little upset on this offer with the lack of new molds in the packs. I have a feeling the 6th set will be a new mold. Like the offer says 6 different stickers. Who knows the Twins might show up.

Oh, man. This is going to be the nuttiest mail-in offer ever. I sincerely wish everyone the best of luck on this.

And I think I screwed up right out of the gate by not preordering enough.

You aren't kiddin', Boss Man. I'm thinking of getting 2 - One to keep MOSC, the other to put on eBay so that I can pay for a new house, lol.

Granted, my nerd anger is a bit unwarranted, as you can use the "sticker" from any Comic Pack...but still, RABBLE! :p

Hey, Gun had a point there! What's the order limit?

EDIT: Confirmed as 6 stickers = 1 figure?

The first rule seems to show the exclusiveness of the upc stickers:
"1. Collect and save the proof-of-purchase stickers from 6 G.I. Joe Comic Packs."

Oooo, I get to have ANY combination of 6 stickers!? well that still means I HAVE to buy 6 Comic packs!!!!
