From Comic Con: We are pleased to announce the creation of Jedi Master Points Auctions. Since 1999, you’ve been saving up your points, and we have finally come up with a way for you to use them. Scheduled for launch in September, Jedi Master Point Auctions will enable registered users of www.starwars.hasbro.com to use their Jedi Master Points as currency in a series of online auctions. We are still finalizing what will be auctioned on the site, but we will have hard-to-find items like Jorg Sacul, Toy Fair Darth Vader and the R2-D2 Astromech Droid. The promotion is scheduled to run for a three-month trial period. We will then evaluate the program for the future; however, this may be the only opportunity to ever use your Jedi Master Points, so don’t save them up for something in the future! The total number of auctions will also be limited, so bid early. As more details about the promotion are finalized, we will post on the website. |

Ugh. Now Rebelscum says:
"It looks like Star Wars fans are just too quick, because today's "launch" of the JMP auction was only a system test which got noticed and carried across the 'net faster than Hasbro could react. The official launch is still scheduled for tomorrow."
WHich is good cause one of teh auctions I saw was at 30,000 points!

Yeah I've seen those auctions at eBay. AMazing that some pieces of paper that are worthless for anything but SW can bring so much money. I haven't got a chance with my puny 300 points (::wishes she had saved points from the beginning:  |

Stolen from Niron's post this morning at the NJSWCC  : Okay, the official site has posted an article regarding Jedi Master points. Check that out here: lhttp://www.starwars.com/collecting/news/2003/09/news20030930.html . The site for the auctions, www.jedimasterpoints.com is currently linking only to the Hasbro site. |

That first link isn't working. Just go to the oficial site and look. www.starwars.com/ |

It is working now....but wait till you see the bids!
ouch!
the one item I want (the unreleased -well for now anyway- cantina bar scene) is going for something like 45,000 points when last I looked.....
most of my points are still on the packages because I don't open my stuff....
I only have 700 points that have actually been removed from the things that I did open....
ain't gonna get much for that!
Maybe after the "big guns" have shot their wad of points the later auctions will be for less....but I wouldn't bet on it....

At least you are aloud to used them. As I am not a US citizen, I cannot use my point. Guess I 'll need to sell or give them away.
Shame on Hasbro. So many fans will be in the same situation.

I guess I didn't read that....
that REALLY is not fair....and you are right....shame on Hasbro!
Obviously....it goes without saying that if you have enough points for something and want to bid...maybe I can bid for you....
