This is exactly why it *should* be brought back, people need to stop looking at toys as collectibles/investments.

So kids playing with their toys, learning patience, anticipating excitement of something arriving in the mail; can all entice kids to stay with the line for the years to come. Tankers going to TOY FAIR in 2 MONTHS, kindly ask Hasbro to bring back these small points that can put big smiles on the next generation of kids now enjoying the promising new toon / toys...

I concur! Toys are toys! 'but some people would still prefer their cards whole.

Mail-ins are so much fun, especially for kids. Think about it - kids don't typically go trolling the internet for toys, so they would have a ton of fun getting a package in the mail.
For collectors, think of the fun repaints or even unreleased items we could have access to. Not all the old mail-ins were just re-released figures...toward the end of the line, we got a lot of fun stuff like Ninja Viper or the Arctic or International Forces. Or my favorites, that crazy bright yellow Deep Six and bright green Sonic Fighters General Hawk. |

I hope like the 25th Doc, the 30th will give us another mail-in figure. This time with Flag points.

Thanks for resurrecting my dead thread guys. LOL But yeah I'm still ALL For Flagpoints. Some of my coolest memories form childhood was getting the mail in figures and other cool kids items in the mail.
Heck even the Mail in "Force Ghost" Obi Wan in the 90s was a cool memory. Besides weve all seen what keeping all the figures MOC will do. Look at the prices of the POTF2 figures most of them are worth less than they were new in the 90s

I wrote hasbro a while back to see is they had any plans to do the whole flag point thing again and they said no. I figure if hasbro thought it was still a good idea, it would have continued...

I loooved the Flag points, a least back in the day it wasn't repaints but whole new figures that you could get. I remember waiting for the mailman on the exact day the 4 weeks was up to get my major Bludd figure and getting it, so cool. Not only that but some of the vehicles that were offered like the Manta (and I think the pac rat's too?) was something you couldn't get in the stores, eventually I remember being able to get the Firebat through mail order which was only available with the Terrordrome so it gave you the chance to get stuff you couldn't before.
It also seems like it would give a fair chance to people who just want to get one figure, the whole Sargent Slaughter fiasco would have been different if it just wasn't about who was the quickest with their credit card. We would have had more distribution of the figure if you had to have proofs of purchase backing it up. sorta seems more fair to me.

No problemo. Thanks for a simple yet significant thread question. Its a very important question to the new kid fanbase enjoying the new toon & future toys (hopefully backed by the simple yet important Flag points)...
