Based on the ARAH line that started in 1982, how many Flag Points would you have accumulated since the new 25th/ME line came out.
If I remember correctly, the Flag Points went something like this: 1/2 - Accessory Packs 1 - Figures 2 - Motorized Packs and other very small "vehicles" 3 - Vehicles such as the RAM, FLAK 4 - ????? 5 - Vehicles such as the VAMP, HISS and so on. Also, what items, figures, and vehicles would you like to see in a modern catalog for redeeming Flag Points now? How many Flag Points would it take to get each item? I know that it is useless to think that Hasbro would ever do this, but this was one of my favorite parts about collecting Joes as a kid. I would cut out the file card, then the Flag Points, and just sit in the floor trying to decide if I wanted to send off for the Hooded Cobra Commander or wait for a few more points to get the Wolverine tank (minus Covergirl).

I still have a carp ton of my vintage Flag points. I should count them up and see how many I actually have. As for what it would be for my 25th probably 5.

they should bring the points back...do you know how many peg/shelf warmers i would buy?
especially if the catalog had uber exclusive items that couldn't be gotten anywhere else (expect ebay and the price paid would be so stupid) 93 snake eyes 77 storm shadows 47 destros 38 dustys 19 mechs 11 storm riders 9 ice cutters sending your points off for a 1/144 scale flagg? priceless (literally) |

I counted mine up for the Doc mail away.. lost them and found them recently after I moved.. I have 2500 FP. all from the original ARAH line. Found face camo, a little persuader and several of the flyers and catalog things that came with figures and vehicles.

If they brought back flag points, and added troop builders available for them...
The term peg warmer would cease to exist for Gi Joe toys.

I would love to see some sort of UPC/Flag Point program like design your own Cobra/Joe. Or some exclusives/repaints of vehicles too.
I wonder why Hasbro did away with the Flag Point concept. Was it not profitable?
