Hasbro Mail-Away Captain Rex Figure

Well, as any good Star Wars fan should have known, Hasbro ran a promotion recently where if you filled out a questionnaire about your collecting habits, they'd send you a Captain Rex figure
This is the same figure they're doing the mail-away for in the US, only they had to purchase figures to get it.

Anywho, I went a bit nuts on the photos but you'll get over it I'm sure

First of all, the bonus poster that came with it;





Obligatory mail-away white box;





And herrrrrrrrres Rex!





The back of the card had a fold out display bit;



So I'm still in two minds about opening him, but I think I will

aawesome sweetest!

I've been thinking about picking this figure up, soft spot for the troopers. Might get him tomorrow on my lunch break.

What's with the boxes with the 1st day of issue stickers on them? Seen a buttload of them the other day at K-mart.

Anyhoo, nice pics!

When did you send your survey results TST? To paraphrase SpaceBalls "I haven't received sheet!"

The mailaway Captain Rex has clean armour and the foldout cardback display. The regular Captain Rex has dirty 'carbon scoring' armour and the missile launcher.

Well, I know I sent it out the day I found out about it. So pretty much within a day or two of the news hitting mousedroid.com.

Well, as already mentioned, he's a clean paint app and doesn't come with the rocket. He only comes with the smaller clone blaster as opposed to the larger one available...
I'm sure you can work out the differences with this here linked pic!

Promotion ended last week as I was advised all that we had received a massive amount of redemptions ie more redemptions than Rex's. But there will be a few more Rex figures (plus other goodies) available on the site where you got the redemption form.

Sheesh, that took some reading!!

Qué?

Exactly!

I thought so

Inspired me to pick up Rexy boy before my shift ended. Scored a 1st day of issue at Target for $12.99. I think there's a percentage sale on Star Wars figures tomorrow.

Thanks doc for your explanation, appreciate it

I'm now thinking of getting a bunch of the regular clones for display. Maybe a couple of commanders with 3-5 regular clones each. That'd look good

FYI...kmart sale starts today with $10.49 clone wars figures.

$10.49!!! Wow, that's below cost! I can't compete with that, that's for sure

My Capt Rex figure turned up yesterday. Strange to have had this as an exclusive figure......seeing as he (the character) is part of the regular line (be it this version is 'clean', still an odd figure to have produced). Then again, not as strange as the Holo Grievous figure that TRU got lumped with. Apart from a 3 second view of his back in the movie, why even slug collectors with a version of Grievous not even seen in the film???

Just got a call from a work collegue.....second Rex has arrived

glad to see you still visit my site

Scumbag scalpers already have this free figure on ebay at around $35!!
I hate that crap, is it considered bad form if I send this guy a message and call him a beatch??
Mines waiting for me at a post office

All the other major online retailers here in australia have it for sale right now. If Target are getting it they better hurry as the movie month is almost over...or maybe they are holding to for the TV release? Who knows ?!?!?!

Oh yes?

Thanks for the heads-up!

Got me a pair of clones, then went to Target and got Rex & Gree for $12.99 each.

Surely you must know that Fox is coming via Hasbro AU (and when)....??? To not say anything on the site just seems odd that's all.

And I was right huh? The 500 Rexs went pretty quick (well the nearly 500 that were given away via the promo.....)

Close but no cigar, Monica. Have you seen Cmdr Fox at Target locally? or even the 501st trooper at say Big W? Seems strange that they have not get stock of these exclusives in the month the movie is released. I wouldn't dream of telling people what 'might be coming' until i get confirmation it has shipped. That is not to say they won't come...you just never know. PM me if you want to discuss rumors in future.

Saw someone at the Parra fair this morning with a boxed Rex for sale - $40! How typical of this community hahaha
