Thanks bro..Dranoel wrote:both of you think alike
anyway, since there are posts here already, I will remove the other thread.
back to the topic....got this off somewhere late last year off another reliable SW site -
At this point there is no word on any TESB or POTF carded figures in the line, but that doesn’t mean we won’t see them later on. We will be seeing our first send away figure though. Remember the George Lucas figure mentioned previously? Word on the street is it could be offered as a mail in figure through the VOTC line. It would require five VOTC proof of purchases, and we might find the offer printed or stickered on the cards. Sadly, we also hear that the Lucas figure will once again be playing 501st and forgoing his standard flannel armour in favour of Stormtrooper armour. Maybe if we pretend we didn't hear that it'll go away...
for myself....this next VOTC really rocks..but I always hate this mail-in POP gimmick since the vintage days. Firstly,the promotion only applies in the U.S....the other thing is there will be alot of carded VOTC minus the POP in the future....whats the point of having it come in a starcase then?
ironic is'nt it?

Some helpful info from a star wars site -
VOTC UGH Figures
As can be found HERE, in the instructions, you will find that while Hasbro has decided to do this giveaway with the VOTC figures this is not so bad of a deal anyway. I know these figures are more expensive and the thought of having to open the bubble and ruin the card for the mail away had many collectors upset. This is not the case. The UPC label is nothing more than a sticker inside the bubble, taped behind the cardboard insert.
The trick to keeping your figure in MINT (but bubble opened) condition, is to find the bubbles that are taped shut, not heatsealed.
As to why Hasbro did this switch was to probably avoid having collectors ripping open the bubbles and stealing the UPCs as the normal "Receipt required" is not required for this mailaway.
Obviously this is difficult for collectors that want theirs unopened. After opening mine and then closing the bubbles back up, no wear was shown from the outside. My overall thoughts on this for Hasbro, are.. Not a bad job of thinking outside the box and trying to keep the collectors in mind.
================================================
After all that effort..came the Darkside of it
ALERT....ALERT....ALERT... UGH SCAM

hey i just want to let everyone know that the BAD collectors are at work, i work for a big retail store and we had someone return 10 figures today and all had the the Redemption tabs and such out of the package. i think that is just wrong! i knew something was wrong when they were brought back to toys, the way you can tell is that the corner of each figure had been raised and opened and these were the heat sealed ones! so be on the look out for the BAD collectors!!!
haha.....the truth rears it's Ugly head
