I wrote to Hasbro to see if it were cool to redeem them for the Doc, since the old school stuff left a lot of us with a shitload of Flagg Pts., and the line ended without a way to use them. They were cool with it on that Doc mail-away. They do not redeem old-school Flagg Pts anymore (to my knowledge) for mail-away stuff. I also think there was a thread on the tank about the subject of redeeming old-school Flagg Pts for the first 25th mail away figure. |

Yeah they called them that in the states (I see you're in Canada)...I had the Flagg Pts left over from the 80s and 90's.

I had so many Flag/Battle points back then that I gave away 150 points to 3 tankers and still got me 4 or more Docs Before Doc I also got an Unmasked Storm Shadow and 3 Agent Faces in CG disguise. The only vintage mail away I remember getting was Sgt. Slaughter |

I remember reading something from hasbro when I was ordering my Stormy Unmasked figure a few years ago. If I remember correctly it said you could send in flag points as a substitute for the modern upc's. Anyone else remember this or am i just crazy?
