does anyone understand the Kellogg Indiana Jones promotion better than I do?

I got some Kellogg mini wheats cereal with codes and forms for a DVD.

Then I hear there is a form for LED flashlights.

I went to Target today and almost all brands of Kellogg had offers but none were Indiana Jones. Neither were any of the Eggo's. One Kellogg brand was for a comedy DVD for 8 tokens, whereas the Indiana Jones DVD is 12 tokens. I saw boxed marked for free camera with tokens, etc. The comedy DVD had it's own type of tokens on the box, they were not Indiana Jones tokens.
I need 13+ Indiana Jones tokens and 3 of the LED forms but none of the boxed Kellogg cereal or Eggo had any Indiana Jones stuff. Where do you find it? Even the mini wheats had no offer at all. I guess when they say "specially" marked packages they mean it literally. Maybe 100 out of every 400 boxes they put out has the Indiana Jones promotion.
(I'm only trading coke codes at this time for tokens, forms, and postage)

now I am uncertain how it works. I went into Bi-Lo and not a single Kellogg package had the Indiana Jones offer on the front of the boxes. The deadline to submit forms is not until June 30th. Have they stopped issuing forms and tokens?

It last until June 30, 2009 or while supply last. Maybe they are out. If so, I think they did the promotion wrong for their own pocket book.
I'm sure they got the DVD's free from the motion picture industry as great advertisement.
Suppose they had 12,000 million DVD's nationwide.
It looks like they issued 12 million boxes of cereal with 12 million tokens. But it takes 12 tokens to get a free DVD and you only need 1 form. They should have put out boxes of cereal with 12 million tokens and only 1 million with forms. As it stands now, 11 million (in this example I have made up) forms go un-used unless people want to fork over the 11.99 and 1 token to buy the DVD.
A better way for Kellogg to have profited, and I'm only speculating that the promotion is over since I find no forms anywhere, would have been to issue 12 million boxes with tokens and say 3 million boxes with forms. This way people would have to keep buying to get lucky and find a form here and there instead of one in each box. This would have sold them another 2 million boxes of cereal as the 12 million token holders scrambled to find forms.

I called Kellogg and they said no item is backordered. They rotate from regions of the country every 90 days. If we can not find the specially marked packages now, they will return to our areas shortly. And then maybe there will be people with tokens to trade, I need up to 25.
