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;


I'm glad I waited to open one, I got one MOC and one beat to hell......

Why are mail people so stupid?

Hoping mine shows up, soon.  Terrible on that one, Spooky.  Sorry to see it.

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.......

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.
