While I know hasbro isn't shipping Doc out our way (which sucks) is anyone on here getting one, perhaps through a deal made on other sites or someone they know in the states?
-
I haven't found enough of the comic packs to complete my order form. And the ones I have bought for my son are not opened yet (saving them for his birthday) but I will be having a Doc Fig sent to my cousins in the states for me to pick up this summer (assuming he ships before august)
-
I am getting Doc sent to my sister in Va. I've already sent the form and am getting one for Col. Aberthany and Lt. Storm. I am also getting an extra I was thinking of trying to trade at the meet until I realized that they don't ship until after the meet.......
Anyway, now I have 4 more POPs as I bought the Wave 3 2 packs over the weekend. Sooooooooooo.....is someone(s) wants to provide the cash and the flag points and 2 more POPs, I can order more. It doesn't say anywhere that I you can't have more than order ship to the same address so we should be good there.
Let me know if there is enough interest out there and we get enough on board, I'll do another order.
My sister should be coming home in June.

No idea how I am getting mine, probably ebay. I have a ton of battle points from the last few years and the all the new comic packs so far.
-
Check your inbox Pete...might save you some $$$
-
Does anyone know if older points work for this as well? I have hundreds of old battle points collecting dust...Thanks
-
They will take any points. There is a revised form you can print out at GIJoe.com or GIJoeclub.com that says this.
Or follow this:

That's not a bad option they've provided there. My big issue is going to be finding 6 Comic Packs I'm willing to pay for - so far I'm stuck on the Dreadnoks and Ace/Wild Weasel. The rest aren't even close to making me want to buy them.

Sent you a pm bro!!
-
CardiacArrest - pm'd you back.
Anyone else? I have room for two more @ 50 flag points and $5 each.
Let me know soon. As my sister just moved (sigh), the question of two orders to the same address has been resolved.........

PM'ed

Back at you Pete!
-
Last call - I have a couple takers for another set of 4 Docs. If anyone wants to send $5 and 50 points, I'll throw your name in as well.
Paul
-
OK.
I have all aboard that I can fit. Sorry if anyone else is interested but I'd better stop at 2 sets.
My sister is gonna kill me anyway for having two sets (among other things) sent to her.........maybe I'll have everyone sign a thank you card at the meet.
Paul
-
I called Hasbro again and they said they have stoped shipping as they are waiting for another large order of Docs to come in. They should be in next week.
Sorry for the delay to any of those that I am ordering for.
Paul
-
Yeah good luck to anyone still looking. He is a great figure. I just got mine from a connection in the US.
-
My sister got the first 4 I ordered and according to Hasbro the second four should be right behind them. Hopefully she'll bring them all with her this weekend.
Paul
-
I am still waiting for the ones that I ordered.
Has anyone done the Indiana Jones figure redemption? I am wondering if it is any faster.
-
I did Indy. I called Hasbro and they said the orders are on schedule for 6-8 weeks delivery.
Paul
-
I have my points card all filled out - I work with a guy that lives in the States and commutes up here to work... I'm hoping he won't mind helping a brother out and accepting the package for me. If I can put his address down and have him bring it over one day to work, it'd be perfect.
-
I did the Indy and the StarWars CloneWars. My Clone Wars check was cashed in May and still no figure.
-
Well, I have my stuff ready to drop into the mail - It'll be sent to someone I work with that lives in the States. In 6-8 weeks I should have one!
On another note - if anyone has any extra, let me know. I may be interested in it, if this falls through. I'm pretty pessimistic and wouldn't mind having a fall-back option. I've always liked Doc...
-
An update that's been going around - I'm sure you've all heard.
Apparently, some Hasbro reps have said that they've run out of Operation Doc figures and won't be sending more out. Too bad, so sad.
But recently, it's been said that Hasbro will be producing another batch and sending them out to everyone that already sent in a form, but missed out on their figure.
I can't find any links to anything official, but for your reading pleasure, here's one to the latest scoop over at Joe Battle Lines (http://http://joebattlelines.com/?p=175).
**EDIT** This (http://http://toynewsi.com/news.php?catid=9&itemid=13215) is the next more "official" link I could find. It'd be nice if Hasbro had something up on their site, but I couldn't find anything.
I hope they're running another batch for those that didn't get theirs... I have two forms out there and want my Doc :(
-
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm pretty thrilled. I just got my Doc figure, today! I sent out two orders to be sent to an American co-worker's address... one arrived last week, so he was able to bring it in for me.
Man, it was worth the wait! Nice figure and packaging... I'm keeping the box as-is, as a token of my waiting.
Here's hoping that was only the first form and that a second figure is on the way!
-
The ones I ordered have showed up at my relatives in Michigan, the only problem is I don't know when I will be going over to see them or when they will be coming up to stay with us.
It was so long ago that I ordered I don't even remember how many I ordered - I am no I ordered at least 3...
one to keep, one to open, and one for my son. (I think 5 was the max?)
Anyone have one of the original Duke arm version and the new arm version? I am assuming the ones that are waiting for me are the new arm from the later production run.
-
pdaat hooked me up on the original production run with the crappy Duke hands.
I bought a second production run Doc with the updated hands off ebay. I also managed to get a second one, but with damaged packaging. That is the one I will open.
-
I've got one with a "2" on the flare gun, whatever that means. I think that's the second production run? I'm conflicted on whether or not I should open it, but I think I'll leave it in it's box, for now. If I get my hands on a second, then that'll be my shelfer.
-
yeah, I got my Doc this week too.. got him off ebay, pretty good price too... 14.00 +shipping. thought it was a pretty good deal. DOC is amazing!
-
I am going to have ebay for him. It seems pretty unfair of Hasbro to release a mainstream carded figure like that. Maybe it only feels unfair because I've been able to participate in promos in the past when I lived in Oregon.
-
$14.00 with shipping is a decent price. I'd be willing to part with that for the figure. There are still a lot out there, it seems... It's been half a year and still a lot of auctions, so hopefully by summer the prices will swing a little lower. But man, do I wish they would have released him widely, too... maybe there's still a chance to see him in a 5-pack or something.
I'd be interested to know how backed up their mail room is at sending these out. I sent out two order forms - one in August and another in September... if I get one in December, I hope that maybe I'll get a second in January.
-
The one i orderd at the end of June start of Aug has just arrived at my uncleds house in california. I'm just waiting till the christmas rush is over to have it sent to me. or i can wait another 4 months for april when he comes up for his visit. I dont know im kinda excited to get it though so i think shipping it is. lol.
-
My buddy in the States bought two, and one of them's for me. I think he's going to ship him off to me along with the UBP. Woot!
