Thanks once again to Orangepeace for making me aware of this.
IF ANYONE HAS ANY UPC'S I WOULD LOVE TO BUY ABOUT FIVE TO TEN IF YOU DON'T NEED THEM YOURSELF!
-
I like how they didn't restrict it to certain lines this time. Oh, if I only had a working printer. I will have to wait for my folks to send me some.

Do you want me to send you a few?
-
Yes buddy, that would be most kind.
-
Yes buddy, that would be most kind.
I will have em in the mail by tomorrow.
And on that note if anyone has any extra upc's to sell me I would love to buy about five more to send in to get one more. Thanks!
-
Wait, so we don't need a redemption form that comes with the action figures? SWEET!!!!!!!!!!! :D
I have five for this guy, that I've been saving, just waiting in envy for him to come out; I have five extras (more, if I look in a shoe-box I keep this stuff in), if somebody wants them, then? Just PM me, and I'm sure we can work something out.
-
Tamer, you have PM regarding UPCs :)
-
Got mine, all good to go. All that's left is to get a money order, and send it out, which I can do at the PO... Let's hope this goes well. ;D
-
Tamer, you have PM regarding UPCs :)
PM returned and thank you very much!

In an attempt to gather some more upcs to take advantage of this offer, until further notice, I will trade 5 resin cast force unleashed imperial navy commando heads or 5 resin cast republic commando heads either nubbed or hollow for every 5 hasbro star wars figure upcs that you yarders send to me.
Here's how it will work, you contact me by way of pm to get my shipping addy, then send the upcs with a note saying which of the above pieces you want to trade for, then I will make the pieces and send em to you using the return addy on the envelope that you sent. Please, no substitutions, just an amount of the parts mentioned above to equal 5 for every 5 upcs. Lets not clog up this thread with a bunch of replies inquiring about this offer. Remember, if you are a new member and haven't made at least 10 postings in the forums, the pm system won't work for you until you do. Also remember, the postal service uses slotted sorting tables for letters that are thin enough so if you just throw your upcs in an envelope with a note, the envelope could get caught in these slots and get torn up or lost. My suggestion would be to make your envelope larger than these slots by packing in, say, a wadded up plastic walmart back or something else to make it thicker.
This offer stands until I end it in this and my parts for sale thread. Thanks in advance for your help and understanding in this quest.
-
Clonehead, you have a PM as well :)
-
My five extra UPCs are gone; thanks, Clint!
-
I will be mailing off for two tomorrow :)
-
I'm glad I've been saving my upc's.
-
Well I sent off for one already and now, thanks to the Spectre, I will be sending off for quite a few more!
-
I think I'm gonna get two.

Get this, folks.............NEWS FLASH
(http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6030/5910828712_f37e01310e.jpg)
I just found out that Hasbro changed the official redemption form available at their website to now limit the upcs that will qualify for the Prototype Fett to these lines that are currently warming the pegs. "my guess is that is why they changed it, to inspire the collectors to buy the old retail fodder that they havent wanted to buy for a year now"
Collect and save the UPC codes of any 5 figures from these Star Wars action figure collections: Vintage (97568 Asst.), Saga Legends (21115 Asst.) or The Clone Wars (94736 Asst.)
Here is the url for the official form so you can see for yourself.

What an epic fail for everyone who was led to believe that their older upcs would work like from the saga, legacy, or tac lines.
There is no word from hasbro if they will honor the wide open lines accepted redemption forms that have already been sent in.
I guess I might ask another q&a question about this subject after all.
-
dang it I just got my upcs ready
-
Thanks to Clint and our friends at Yakface for clarifying this for us. I need to check my own upcs now.
-
after all the junk people sent in for rocket firing Boba Fett, I dont think they even look at the UPCs....
-
None of my upc's were more than a year old, so I should be good.

Same here; I thought I'd be on the safe side, just incase something like this happened...
-

I have to agree with Spooky. I don't know that I have heard of them over not taking any upcs to be honest.
Hope so because some of the first ones I sent in were a few years old. We will see if I get my Fetts. I sent in for quite a few the other day too. It is gonna be Fett Frenzy at the Tamer Household.
-
My first check towards this redemption cleared yesterday.

My first check towards this redemption cleared yesterday.
Mine did too. Pretty sure they were old upcs too if that gives anyone peace of mind.
-
now three of my checks have cleared.
Check this out, the downloadable form from Hasbro has changed again.
Now they are back to any upcs from hasbro star wars figures but what's this? Now the downloadable form from the Hasbro pdf does not count as a valid redemption form. LOL, What a bunch of maroons. With vintage distribution like we have seen for the last year, do they think that anyone is going to be able to find a packaged form?

Wow, don't think I have ever seen this many running changes to a mail away offer. I wonder what else we are going to see? No offense, but you can't negate those printable forms they offered earlier.
I need to go see how many of my checks have cleared. What a mess.
Clint, thanks for the word.
-
If they don't send me a Boba they better give me my money order back!!!! >:(

caught this official Hasbro response on Yakface.com today. Thanks, Yakface, for getting this cleared up for us.
Yakface: Recently, there have been a few revisions made to the terms of the Mailaway Prototype Boba Fett info posted on Hasbro.com since August 31, 2011 (the date of the original posting).
Fans are looking for some definitive clarification to this as the original form (version 1) didn’t stipulate what action figure assortment UPCs were valid for the redemption form. As a result, last week the downloadable pdf form on Hasbro.com was updated (version 2) to specifically call out the three qualifying assortments (Vintage, Clone Wars and Saga Legends). This sent the fan sites’ buzzing and Hasbro’s customer service phone line ringing fielding calls from confused collectors wondering if the original forms (version 1) would be honored from those that already sent in the forms, UPCs and S/H money.
Obviously the original form’s verbiage was in error, but now matters are worse as the online form has been further revised (now version 3 in as many weeks) and is now only a sample – (i.e. not available for redemption) and collectors must send in the actual printed form included with new figures that will be shipping to retailers. Again, collectors are wondering if the the Version 2 forms will be accepted as those aren’t the official “packed-in” printed forms.
Needless to say, collectors who are already frustrated with finding new product are further exasperated with this recent development. Does Hasbro have any official comment/details on this issue that we can pass on to our readers.
Thanks in advance for any insights you or your team can provide.
HASBRO: Thank you for sharing the community’s concerns, and sorry about the confusion!
Those individuals who have submitted non-watermarked downloaded redemption forms, or an on-pack redemption form, along with UPCs from any of Hasbro’s STAR WARS figure assortments will receive their figure. However, if the downloaded PDF redemption form was watermarked, it will not be accepted.
Moving forward, Hasbro will require the original on-pack redemption form, NOT the downloadable PDF version, along with UPCs from any of Hasbro’s STAR WARS figure assortments.
-
if any of you have noticed,hasbro messed up a little on the prototype boba fett,first i think he'll be to short,then they messed up on his holster and ammo pouch belt as far as i can tell,i really want the figure,but i just wish they paid closer attention to detail and scale.

Cleaning the garage today and found these in a box:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v172/JoeRhyno/Mobile%20Uploads/PIC-0600.jpg)
:D
-
Thats awesome Joe. I would hurry up and send em in before they change their minds again.
I honestly think they will never ever again allow any SW UPC as that means we can use up our older ones when there was no mailaway. I have a thought they may try to keep it to their newer lines only to try and get us to empty some of the pegs.
-
Hook a brother up, Joe.........I could use some of those.
-
Any sign of this guy, out there? I know the details said approximately 6-8 weeks, but, been praying it arrives before then..
-
All I know is I checked yesterday and all of my checks had been cashed so the old redemption forms and upcs worked. Figured they would, but once again more clarification that the older upcs will work.
-
we'll find out soon... ;)
-
Seen that a guy on jedidefender.com reported that he got his first shipment of fetts on the third. Come on, Boba!
-
Wow, it's already been a month since I sent mine out. I'm quite glad time's flown by, and not grinded by. I second Clint's call, "Come on, Boba!"
-
Nothing here yet...my check was cashed in early Sept so I still have a couple of weeks to go. :)
-
got 1 of 2 boba's today in the mail!
I sent for it on 9/7/2011 and my check was cashed on 9/14/2011

Cool, that probably means that I have a couple waiting for me when I get home from the lake.
-
Had a feeling I should've checked my mail today... :-\ Have to wait 'til the morning, I suppose.
-
Look what I got in the mail today.............. That means that the mando contest grand prize is just waiting to be mailed out.
thanks, Hasbro!

-
bloody hell! clint .........how many! :o :o
-
They shipped all 8 on the same day even though I mailed two sets of 4 out a week apart from each other.
-
I got my second one today...despite Hasbros best efforts, they couldnt do anything about the idiot human factor.....My mail man shoved the box into my small mailbox hole ans smashed up the box and crushed one end. So when I opened it I wasnt surprised to see this;
(http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/8277/13181426.jpg)
I'm glad I waited to open one, I got one MOC and one beat to hell......
Why are mail people so stupid?
-
Got both of mine in the mail today...only one of my boxes was a little dinged up.
Wow Spooky, that is awful!
-
Hoping mine shows up, soon. Terrible on that one, Spooky. Sorry to see it.
-
I have 11 packages at the post office. I should have mine by day's end!
-
Got mine, today!!!! Must've taken the extra few days compared to you guys because Montana and Pennsylvania are on opposite sides of the country... Looks to be in great shape. I'm fighting the urge to tear it out of it's packaging, but, seeing as I only ordered one, in he stays...
Good luck with yours, Shawn. 11 Packages? Fierfek, where on earth did you find 55 UPCs??? I need to start collecting like you guys. O0
-
Pic is up in the new purchases thread.
I haven't opened any of em up yet. I didn't see if they were in one mailer box or two like the other fetts, but wow was it awesome to see all that vintage goodness in one place. Most of the boxes seem ok. One is a little dinged up, and it will be the one I open up to see whats what. As for the upcs all you have to do is ask the Yarders and they will come through every time.
-
Wow Spooky that stinks. Your mailman must be related to mine. I was kinda hoping Hasbro would have stuck to that double boxed method they used to protect the other vintage rocket firing fetts. Guess there was no luck this time although Clint's pic shows a bit more protection.
-
Tamer, I think Hasbro did a fine job this time, their box was sturdy and had spacers inside to help keep the bubble nice and intact and not crushed. They did a fine job this time around, this was pure and simple mailman stupidity, he tried to shove the box into a slightly smaller mailbox hole and he pushed and pushed until it fit and smashed up the end of the box. He could have easily took it to the managers office and dropped it off for me and left a little note in the box.
The rocket fett boxes were a disaster, there was no protection at all, the boxes were thin and they were all crushed and smashed causing the cards to get destroyed and the bubbles to get mashed and dislodged from the cards, they didnt start double boxing them until they got complaints from 100,000 people about smashed and damaged fetts collector cardbacks.
No, this time they did everything right, it was the mailman's idiocy of wanting to hurry up and move on to the next stop...........no wonder they are losing business, they cant even deliver the mail properly.....
-
Well if you remember the last time when they mailed them out they actually did change the mailers to include two boxes, one of the regular mailers and then a thicker outside box which really did a nice job protecting the integrity of the box. I was hoping they would do that again, but do agree they did have some protection this time.
-
yeah, they started double boxing them after they got all the complaints, I got mine in the first wave of single thin boxes but got lucky and got a near mint card, this time was much better then that time.......
-
I have an official order form and 5 UPCs (all from the new RFT) up for trade if anyone is interested.
-
Does anyone know if there is a limit to how many one person can order? I know sometimes they do things like "limit 5 per customer" or "limit 5 per household" or something like that. Thanks :)
-
Well I got twelve in at once and have heard of folks getting these in cases that sent enough redemptions in.
And welcome to the Yards YodaMaster.
-
It takes 20 to fill a case if someone is going for a full sealed case of em.
-
Thanks Tamer. Glad to have finally found a cool forum for Star Wars collecting.
I read through the post some more and answered my own question after I had posted. Thank you again though.
-
Don't forget folks, you must have your redemption forms postmarked no later than March 31st if you want to get your own mail away in. I probably ought to do a front page news post.
I had some upcs laying around so I sent in for one more. That Maul Statue promotion just ain't my cup of tea.
-
Just got his in the mail on Friday. Geesh.

-
Haha I got one of these too! :-\
-
Yup
-
I just have to chuckle that Hasbro just can't keep up with the demaind and keep their distribution under control. It is a formula to bankruptcy for a business if you ask me. I wonder how much the company spent on the postage and on those fancy postcards?
-
they did this same thing with the Eopie and Qui Gon mail away.
-
they did this same thing with the Eopie and Qui Gon mail away.
Don't remember that one being as widespread, but once again it serves to illustrate the issues Hasbro has in creating and then dissemenation their product. I think those are the two most basic laws they teach you in business school. I think its about time to podcast on the state of the union in regards to SW Collecting.
-
They must have made a good guess on the shipping date of these as I got three in the mail today. It's been so long since I sent off for them that I forgot how many they owe me.
-
I got one today too. I too forgot I had one coming.
-
I went crazy and got me 4 of these suckers. I am happy.

-
Yeah, I went kinda nuts and think ended up with twenty some before I was done. Nice redemption though and before they clarified it you could send in any pops. Hope we get a decent mail away soon again, but it sure didn't sound like it when we asked Hasbro at C6.
