i recently found a bunch of Hasbro Direct Mail Ins that i received back in 1990 or 1991.
They have never been opened. The bags are in mint condition. I found them going through my stuff while visiting my parents house in florida. I have the following. Tomax and Zamot Copperhead HISS Driver Stinger Driver CrankCase Thunder Moto Viper Lamprey Strato Viper Keel Haul Crank Case Cobra Stinger Driver Frostbite I think those are all. I might be missing 1 or 2. I remember getting Quick Kick also but i opened him. He was the reason i sent away but i ended up getting all the others. I still don't know how to this day i decided not to open them. Does anybody have any info about these? Are they hard to find? I have to take some pictures of them as they are not with me here in NJ but in florida with the rest of my joes at my parents house. I found this picture on ebay, I know this is 100% one of the figures i have. The rest of them are all like this. Unopened in the Mailer Bags. Peach color cards with the red backs Im new here. Very happy to be a member and to share my all time favorite toy stories with all of you.

It's all about the character mostly, but to give you an idea, I sold these two:
Copperhead HISS Driver last month for $20 each. Like yours, they were still sealed in the bag with the redback filecards Tomax & Xamot is probably worth a bit more |

Did you get these figures by sending in Flag points as well as money?
Do these figures come with filecards which have red backs instead of normal cardboard colored backs? Do any of the filecards have a Flag point on them? I'm thinking that you have figures which were re-issued through the mail after they were no longer sold in stores. Are the figures rare? No, but it is a bit rare to be able to find these figures still sealed in their baggies. How much are they worth? That all depends on each individual figure. It also depends on how much someone is willing to give you for them if you are interested on selling them. Those prices will all depend on where you would be selling them at. For instance you would get more for them on an auction site than you would at a garage sale. The value or worth of anything is really what you require for parting with something. Please let us know if you do plan on selling any of them. If not please post some pictures anyway. I'm sure many of us would like to see your collection.

Hey were these the ones you got at that thrift store or something? The ones that came in the cases.

I think when i sent away i had sent in flag points as well as money but like i said, i know this was back in 90 or 91 so i am not 100% correct. I have to get another look at them but i am 99.9 sure they have the flag point on them. I will have my parents ship them down so i can get some pictures up. I found this picture on ebay, I know this is 100% one of the figures i have. The rest of them are all like this. Unopened in the Mailer Bags. Peach color cards with the red backs

Peach color cards with the red backs I actually need the figure that you have pictured. I think the only ones that I still need from 1984 are the Stinger Driver and Thunder.

Yeah those would be the ones I was thinking of. I mailed away for many of them when I was a kid, but back then I opened them to play with.

Airborne Doc Flash Grunt Rock N' Roll Stalker Short-Fuze Zap Cobra Officer Major Bludd I also used to mail away for the vehicles as well, but they never came with the drivers. I remember getting the Hiss Tank without the Hiss Driver and the Wolverine without Cover Girl. That sucked!

I believe the vehicle drivers are fairly common in the mail in package... and the twins much less so, making them quite a bit more valuable.
Exact numbesr, i dont know. |

Sadly, all of the figures you have are worthless today. I'll take them all off your hands for $20 and the Brooklyn Bridge... ;-)
