Look what I saw on Hasbro's website.
GI Joe News - Rescue Doc Promotion Update I am not sure if that means they ran out and need to send them to the ones that ordered them, or if they will just simply issue them to the stores. I didn't get enough of the comics in time, I jumped on the bandwagon a little too late. I ordered enough comics but not all of them had the doc mail away coupons inside.....

The offer expired on Aug. 31, 2008 to send in the stickers and many people sent them in before that but Hasbro had run out of figures to fulfill all of the orders so they said they were going to get more in and take care of those who got their stickers and forms in time. It was actually generous of them to do this because the offer said "Good until Aug. 31, 2008 or while supplies last" so they could have just stopped producing them once they ran out of figures but have decided to produce more to help those who sent in their forms later.

Anyone know when that store will open? I believe one of the employees of the Morse Road one said they have until the middle of this month before the close down. They ran out of most of the 25th Anniversary within a week.

just assuming anyone who grabs everything is planning on selling off at least some of it, plus she confirmed she knew the one guy as a scalper through collecting

Do you know how much they put out? How many cases, or exclusives? If it were me, I'd have grabbed one each of the exclusives, and one each of the new wave, maybe doubles of wraith and the para/bazooka troopers - and that's just for me, a normal consumer. Although, if there were other guys/gals waiting for the same stuff, I would absolutely limit myself to one of each to make sure we all got what we wanted if possible. If there were five people waiting, unless that TRU got six cases, there's no surprise that they'd be sold out right away. I have never seen a TRU with enough NEW stock to go to five people evenly, much less to have some left over for others later on in the day. Now, if it was the first guy that went in and grabbed multiple cases, leaving the other four guys with nothing, that's different - maybe not scalping, but at least selfish. Don't worry, you'll come across something, or you could just get them from BBTS and not have to worry about being there when the stores open.
