NOW we're talking.
Remember Kenner UPCs and the maliaway Star Wars Accessory Packs? Or Hasbro "Flag Points" and the Hooded Cobra Commander or Duke mailaways?

Personally, I've never minded mailing in for Brick figures, but I come from a generation where promotional mailaways were the norm for special items or exclusives too. *shrugs*
Normally, I would agree - but I was a three time looser - with the last three mail aways. Supes and bats, joker and skrull all came back to me unopened and stamped "offer over" or something to that effect. I still have the envelopes.
And -all of those were sent the day after the bricks went on sale.
I never had any trouble mailing away and getting the figure. I still think it was poorly executed. Even though I live near Pittsburgh and the coupons were going to Cinncinati I still rushed to get it in the mail. I would take an envelope stamped and filled out already with me when I would go buy my case. It would be in the first mailbox I would see on release day.
So yes I got the figures. Though I think I would have much rather enjoyed them right away. Rather than reenact Cannonball Run to try and get to a mailbox or post office.
Now if they did away with the limited figures and had a mailaway that could be slightly different.

What are these "Star Wars Accesory Packs" of which you speak? Are they 100% Heroclix compatible?
re: Raleigh coupons,
I was too young to smoke back then and fortunately never started! But I remember Raleigh and even Chesterfield at one point had coupons on the back of each pack! "Smoke our brand and save up for Sports Equipment!"
yuck!
