I havent recieved a chosen spike yet. I am been a radical since before the willows came out. I want one but I got a WTW so I cant complain-after all free is just a bonus and a way cool thing for them to do (yes I do check my mail everyday hoping though)

I’ve got mine yesterday! It came along with my January Contest prize (which been lost in the mail for week till DST got it back and sent it again). I’m very pleased with this figure - it’s awesome! I’ve been looking for one on ebay for weeks but they all seem to cost around $40 - $50 so I’ve waited. Now all I need is a WW Willow’s base to make him look even cooler. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Thank you DST! ;D

I got mine a week or two ago, he's awesome but mine has two right feet ![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png) If you're a Radical member, check your account options or whatever and check the box that says Buffy. Or something like that... I remember this was brought up when the World Tour Willows were being sent out.

No Chosen Spike for me yet...
I even checked to make sure, and I've got my correct address filled out and the Buffy box was already checked.
Maybe I'm just getting nervous for no reason though, and hopefully he'll turn up in a couple of days.

Nothing for me in Ohio either. But then again, I did get a Toy Fair Willow.

I kiss the plastic boots of DST! I haven't been so happy upon opening mail since - okay, since my PALz Darla arrived, but before *that*, ages ago. So he's weird (it must have seemed like a good idea at the time) - he's still Spike! And a surprise present!!!
Diamond Select Toys - do business long and prosper, and THANK YOU!
most gratefully, mothperson

I had an idea today about these freebies for Radicals. Perhaps instead of DST playing the lottery and giving them out to random, with people who don't even buy Buffy products receiving them, they should start up a redemption program similar to the old GI Joe Flag Points. For example, for every figure you buy, you get one "watcher point," for every bust you get three points, etc. This would be a more fair way of sending out promos and freebies in my opinion and it might even help DST increase sales if fans know the only way they can get that really cool repaint is to buy an entire wave.

I buy most of my figures from my local comic book store and from the exclusive holders. I like to pre-order way in advance which you can't do with DST. I've been lucky enough to get both WTW and Spike but I would loose out from this method.

Well, with Flag Points, they were printed on the cardboard so you just cut em out and mailed em no matter where you bought the figures. This would work the same way. You can buy them at your local comic shop or online or from DST and still get to participate. It just wouldn't work well for MOC collectors.

Well, still no Spike for me ![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png) So, I've given up hope. Bought one on ebay probably from one of those Radicals that isn't a Buffy fan but got a free Spike anyway!!! It's frustrating and disappointing! Especially, since I have bought Buffy figures directly from DST's website! And have never gotten any "gift" for signing up. But, I do think it's great that they do something for the Radicals, but there has to be a more equitable way to distribute. It will be interesting to see if those of us left out this time will be getting something in the future-as promised by the latest Radical Confidential/Spectrum. Keeping fingers crossed for all of us "UNCHOSEN" ones!

I havent gotten one either but havent given up all hope yet.
WatcherNitro not to bad of an idea but there is just one major flaw in it which is anyone who is a mint on card collector ,like myself, would hate this because then it would either mean not having mint cards anymore or buying multiples of figures to have one mint and one for the points.

I buy 2 of each 1 to keep carded and 1 to open (at least most of the time) so it would not affect me-but for MOC only collector's (which many of you are) they could do maybe a "send in your recipt" thing which can add to your "points" or make a cut off tag that when you take off it wont affect the card (kinda like what inside the dvd's) but outside so you dont have to open if dst would do that I am sure they would come up with something-remember Matt is a MOC collector (I think he is maybe he is both) so I am sure he would look into a way too.

Only people who checked off Buffy as an interest should have received these figures... that's also how they did it last time.

I checked Buffy as an interest on mine and I signed up a couple of months ago, right around Toy Fair time.
Maybe I signed up too late or something.
