Here is the blurb from an MSDN flash on how you can get your very own Source Force Action Figures.
You might also want to sign up for some MSDN webcasts or virtual labs. Here's the deal: if you don't sign up for MSDN webcasts and virtual labs this very minute, the world stands a very real (or, at least, not insignificant) chance of coming to an end. Or, at least, it's not completely impossible. Okay. Maybe it won't "end," per se. But it will get a whole lot more embarrassing. And sometimes that's even worse than the end of the world. Remember middle school?
Thing is, if you don't attend at least four live MSDN webcasts or virtual labs per month, from January through April, you won't get to collect the Source Fource action figures. And then where will you be? While everyone else in your office is playing with their Source Fource action figures at lunch, you'll have to paint a potato red and blue and squint your eyes. Oh, sure ... everyone will pretend to play along as you run through the room, holding your potato over your head and making "whoosh" noises ...
Scared? Good. Here's the skinny: From January through April 2006, we'll unveil a new super dude or dudette and send them to developers who get their act together and attend at least four live MSDN webcasts or four MSDN virtual labs in a given month. Hey, not so fast! In order to confirm your shipping address and receive credit for attendance, you must complete an evaluation at the end of each webcast or virtual lab.
So now is the time to leap over tall developers in a single bound. Remember - you need to fill out the evaluation for four live webcasts (on-demand or dead webcasts don't count), or four MSDN virtual labs in a given month to qualify.

So, with January gone you will have to sign up and attend more webcasts in February to make sure you get you Source Force Action figure. Even if you don't get the action figure attending webcasts is a good way to learn without spending a lot of money on training.
