    My opinion as a actually a mostly inbox collector . I probably wouldn't change the program as it's great and exciting to get something special. If you want that figure it is what it is by removing the points from your boxes. Just a thought , but maybe start putting cardboard point coins inside the box.

    Perhaps put the points on one of the inside flaps that way points aren't lose and possibly forgotten at the factory but won't affect the outward appearance of a closed box.

    Yes, do it. As a collector who keeps most of their figs inbox and still cut out all the points to get the mail away, I wouldn't mind if the premium price point option was offered to other collectors. It's a really great figure, and I can't wait to pose him alongside my Gary Busey "Chuckles" from Hasbro.

    I don't mind paying $44.99 at all. There are a bunch of Valaverse figures I want but none are in stock anywhere and you said it would be like $300+ dollars to get the points but at secondary market pricing it's more like $600 to get the points you need. In my opinion letting the people with the points get it at $15 and having everyone else pay $44.99 is very fair. If you do this I will %100 buy one.

    As painful as it was for me to cut up my boxes, I liked the barrier to entry and appreciate the figure more because of it. It's reasonable IMO to re-issue Cov Ops Condor 6 mo - 1yr after the initial release at the higher price point, but no sooner. I would change the box design and change the included accessories so the Action Points version is more rewarding. A unique stand would be sufficient.

    I was a mail away kid. Whether it was Star Wars, Predator, or Match box. I enjoyed the anticipation and the payoff when I got to open my prize. I am new to the line and do not have the points to get Covert Ops Condor so I feel for new fans or eager recruits who threw out the packaging. Yes offer the premium option. I know its not my decision but this is a conscientious move and speaks volumes on how you see your customers. 🥁✌️

    I think that a good compromise would be a time window for the point specific offer. Like maybe 4-5 months for those who send in Action Points then after that window with any remaining stock gets set with the premium price for fairness. Seems like a fair deal as someone who did the Action Point way at Valacon.

    I love this idea. Got mine with points but everyone should get a chance. That said, to those who are worried about exclusivity, would printing something on the box to differentiate the mail away from the retail bring you on board? That way there is still the exclusivity, but allows for others to get the figure as well.

    In the old days almost every mail-away figure was either released at retail going from a mailer box to mainline packaging or it was offered for sale through a mail-in offer after the initial free-for-points offer had run it's course. There were a few I remember that offered a choice of free-for-points or for a price from the start.

Kenner was planning the same with their other lines but most of the lines were cancelled before the freebie figures could get a normal release (Belloq, Clark Kent, the Police Academy figure). I didn't start collecting Joes until '87 so I may have this wrong but Duke was a mail-in first if memory serves. I know Cobra Commander was available by mail first but I think the colors were changed for the carded version and the mail-away was changed to the hooded version after that. As for points or cash items I believe that the 12" Joe Colton figure was handled that way but my collection of catalogs and paperwork were lost in a house fire so I don't have them to check anymore.

    Getting it for cheaper is still a reward for those with points so I think a premium price is a good compromise. This is the kind of thing that made me finally get my first Action Force figure just last week (Sgt Slaughter version 2). You’re doing a great job with your company and this line and I’ll be rewarding that with more patronage. Likely with this figure as one should you go through it.

    I have couple comments I hope are considered. 1st im a MIB collector but was able to get points from a couple follow action force collectors to get covert ops Condor. However I think the points required are too high for the figure reduced by about half. Asking people to buy 10 figures to 1 for $14 seems really high. Purpose of the mail-in in the 80s was to promote the next wave. Often times the mail-in would be available later in reagular line so think the premium price would be fine. 2nd maybe the points could be upgraded to be scan code somehow. Coke does it with thier point system. You scan something on the bottle and point are added to account. No more counting for valaverse, no points lost in mail, and no postage to send them in.

    First off, it’s your company, so whatever you feel is right is the way to go. I think it’s pretty cool that you’re taking in our feedback before making a final decision. :) I’m one of your customers who followed the rules and sent in my points to get this mail away figure. I thought it was a fun trip down memory lane as far as saving points and getting a special mail away figure, but I also feel for the mint in box collectors of this line, and I’m sure there’s plenty of them that have supported the line with much more purchases than me, who I’d hate to think they’re missing out on this figure. If the $44.99 without sending in any points is the consensus, then so be it. The main thing is getting as many of these figures into the hands of as many fas as possible. Personally I think it’s an excellent compromise in more ways than one: 1) people who did send in their points have their figures by now, for the most part 2) MIB collectors and those that didn’t save their action points get the chance to purchase this figure 3) new fans of this line can purchase the figure without having to wait until they’ve collected the 20 action points, if they so choose 4) as long as there’s still product available, those who didn’t quite have enough action points yet can still take advantage of the mail away offer once they’ve reached 20 action points. I think it’s a win-win all the way around. No point on the Valaverse warehouse sitting on unsold stock of this exclusive because there’s potentially plenty of MIB collectors unable to get this item without ruining their MIB collections. I’ll never understand the action figure fan with the mentality of “I don’t want other fans to have what I have “. We should be in this together, making sure we all can have the collections we want, without any gatekeeping. I hope all that want to purchase this figure can get one, regardless of sending in the 20 action points or not.

    I'll be totally honest here- I'm one of the new collectors who just doesn't have the points yet. I've only got 6 (from Pandora, Eclipse and Kill-Switch) so this would be a great offer so new people can get the figure and long-time collectors are rewarded for their patronage. The only downside is I was able to get Classified Chuckles when he went up on Pulse Friday so atm Condor isn't as needed as he would have been say a week ago-at least for me. I vote to go ahead and do it as I'm sure there are a ton of fans who want Condor over Chuckles to keep the same Vala look in their collection, but for me at the same price point Chuckles accessory load out and packaging make him the better choice for me.

It's certainly a way for you to get more use of that tooling and reach an even bigger audience.

But I understand the intent in wanting to keep the integrity of the offering for those that purchased it the way it was intended. I say offering it at all compromises that intent. What you should do is offer it with some alteration, rather it be a color swap or removing the sunglasses on the sculpt or something along that lines. $45 for the figure isn't the answer though. Hopefully there will be enough input from fans that you consider an alternative that doesn't cost as much as what you are proposing. I still like what you are doing and I appreciate Action Force being on the market.

    As someone who has only 10 action points, I think this is a fair price and fair approach for those who couldn’t get it and I agree that it’s in good consideration for those who did follow the rules.

    I think what put this over the edge was the fact that the Chuckles or whatever that figure from classified looks very similar in terms of body. I would understand if that would kill the momentum of mail in concept and thus opened the door for this. Nevertheless, it just shows how much Valaverse has its pulse on the fans and listens to our requests.

    i do wish everyone to get the figure, but we cut our boxes paid to ship them in. with the shipping and tracking to send points in, people buying for $45 are getting a great price. not a fan of any exclusives or limited stock. make the money bud, it is your company!

    First off, I love that you do things like this. What other toy companies big or small does this sort of thing? With that being said, I think offering it a “premium” price still doesn’t really address the inbox collectors, the collectors who threw away the box not realizing the point system (my category, I know I am a dumbass for that), and the new collectors. More so for the first two categories. We spent the money buying your products just like the guys who sent in their points. At the end of the day, the guys who sent in their points are already getting a deal buying the figure at $14.99. What other figure that you have put out is that cheap in price? Not even your basic “army builders” are that cheap in price. So I don’t see the issue with offering this Condor at regular price and how that would take away the integrity of the program to those who sent in their points. They are already getting their reward for purchasing this figure at $14.99 which is more than half the price of a regular figure ($31.99). Plus this figure comes with way less accessories than a regular figure. Like I said before, my points are long gone and sitting somewhere at the city dump site but I would be willing to give you my hard earned duckets ($$$) and purchase this figure for $31.99 (slightly more than twice the price that people who sent in their points paid for) and with less accessories than a standard figure. But that’s just my two cents. Plus I am sure there are some collectors who only had enough points to purchase one but wanted more and here is their chance to get multiples.

    Covert Ops Condor isn't really my cup of tea, so I don't have a dog in the race, but I like the idea. However, in the future, it would be cool if the mail-in figure got some sort of unique accessory or stand to reward those of us who held on to our points.

    I absolutely think it's a great idea. I love the figure but as a new collector I don't have the points to send in and honestly I don't mind paying that price for such a great figure. Also I love the fact that you guys are trying to be fair to those who did have the points. Good to see there are companies that still listen to their consumers.

    I like the option you're proposing. the only thing I would add is that there is an exclusive window for people sending in the vala points. sell at premium a few months after going live so everyone who collected points can participate first. Sadly I bought enough figures, but never even noticed the points system like a dummy. My own fault.

    If you plan on doing future mail-in promotions, please add 1 action force point to future weapons packs packaging. I was able to minimize cutting up my character boxes by using the basic troopers and gear kits first. But there are no points on the weapons packs.

  • @Stygian360
    @Stygian36011 ай бұрын

    You could have the points come with the figure but not sealed in the box or part of the box. Or perhaps it's a QR code on the box where a collector can add to their points stack online via a digi-loot format. It could keep track of the total points ongoing and be tied to a customer's account. When it's time to redeem points the database would have kept track of the points and Valaverse can sell the figure at the discounted rate when points are involved. If the person doesn't want to do the points option offer the figure at a higher price like you mentioned in this video. That way everybody wins. And major kudos to you for checking in with your customers for our feedback and suggestions.

    $45 seems a bit high IMO for what we're getting. It's an awesome figure but that price seems a bit high for just a figure, pistol, holster and base. I think $30-35 would be perfect. And without a doubt keep the Mail Away Option available for people who want to go that route.

  • @Sladeonslade
    @Sladeonslade11 ай бұрын

    I think everyone should get a chance, but ... as a mint on card collector, I cut my boxes for this figure. If you can make it so the figure I have is different than that would be great. That being said, this is such a cool figure that I would like everyone to have a chance. Hopefully next mail away can be for people with points, and those without. Those with, get something worth cutting boxes, those without get the figure, just a little watered down. Bobby, you and your team are a true godsend in the toy world. Than you for all that you do.

    Appreciate the ask for feedback. I don’t like any of the options. The point system is a fun throw back but I’d prefer if the points could be used for redeeming any figure just as a reward for those who spend that much. Then all figures can be made available to all levels of fans and not an exclusive or behind an inflated price. Being late to the line there’s many figures I missed out on but asking for more money on another standard release feels like I’m being taken advantage of. I was looking forward to Condor but didn’t realize it would be an exclusive kind of release.

    I love the idea. Paying a premium ($44) is reasonable for those that are MIB collectors and myself, who is not an absolute MIB collector, but I couldn’t bring myself to cutting into the boxes to remove the points. This is a good exception to the rule if moving forward, everyone knows with more certainty that there’s going to be something else to redeem via the points and mail away concept.

    The figure is awesome I have mine. My wife thinks it’s her fav of the assortment. As a not so wealthy collector I can’t get many figs. so I can feel some peoples pain there. If it was like a Free weapon pack or “pack rat” I might say that wouldn’t be cool. But loving him so much I would want fellow collectors to be able to get him that are unfortunate like me without hundreds of figs. I guess Condor is at $14 is a couple bucks above your production costs. He has more than a republic troop builder, but not as much as regular one. So offer it $25? 🎉 Unless you want to keep it in stock as the line grows and newer less economically fortunate collectors get the points up. But I’m guessing you might also want to clear as much out as you can for space. Just be sure to keep enough for those who still have points on the way for a month or so before releasing 😊 You could also open up more quantities for point purchases if it’s a space issue. Honestly can’t remember the cap.

    HI Bobby, I was one of your faithful fans did everything we were supposed to, to get the Covert OPS Condor. Which in the way you did it was brilliant! Thank You! I got 2 of course! Anyway you say some can't do it because they haven't been with your line from the beginning. Tell you the truth I feel for these people. There are other toy companies that aren't quite smart enough to come up with ideas like yours. I wish they were. Because I've missed quite a few because of their "EXCLUSIVES" I've been shut out to collect them at all. But if you go forward with giving another opportunity to purchase Condor this will definitely separate you from other toy companies. Remember this is just my opinion. Thank You Bobby I bow to you! 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙🙏🙏🙏
