Here's what I found:
Target, the 3 pack multipacks (which makes it less than $1 per pack, as the multi's are <$3) of Cobalt Limited Edition with Expiration dates of 29Aug12.
EVERY pack has an icefly outside and code inside (all 21 of them).
You can't actually SEE the icefly without opening the multipack because the back packaging isn't see through..it's black.
But I just picked up 7 multi-packs as described above. Every pack in the multi's has a fly outside and code inside.

I'll find my own gum, because i don't use pay pal. Unless someone wants to just give me a code.

And I just want to make sure I didn't miss anything...do we know what the point of the keys are yet? I don't need 15 packs of gum...so I'm just wondering if we get something significant out of having the keys.

I'm over in the UK (small island to your right for those in the states ). I was contacted by a very helpful gentleman on here called GuestUser17 who offered to go buy packs for me.
I sent him a payment via paypal, and true to his word, he sent me an image of all 11 packs opened with codes.
All codes worked perfectly! So if you need help and he can, i'm sure he will. Just wanted to vouch for him so you know he's a trustworthy bloke!

I got two 3-packs from Walmart for $2.88 each. The flavors I got are one React Mint and one React Fruit. An icefly on all 6 packets. The package is black with no see through, looks like this:
Will get the UPC code later so you all know you're getting to right ones. Heading out the door for some summer fun! Sry.

Can anyone take pictures of their packs with the fly on the back, and can anyone corroborate the theory that these flies are only showing up on packs with the 29aug12 expiration date?
I found a box with that date today but no flies. I think someone in my area's already been cleaning em out.

And I just came back from Costco.
Didn't think that they would have packs recent enough to have it, and I tried 3 different stores on the way home to no success.

I'm glad you got hooked up! Also good to hear the codes work in the UK as well.
I looked around for a bit on Saturday and found nothing nearby. Yesterday I spent about 2 hours driving to every store I could think of until FINALLY a K-Mart had a few boxes of Vortex (19FEB12) at the checkout.
Of the 2 boxes with that date I was able to grab 3 Icefly packs. I know that eventually I'll be able to walk into a chain store and just buy the up-to-date multipacks, but this was more fun. The feeling of searching for 2 days and several hours and finally finding my first Icefly was awesome! Much more rewarding than just snapping up a ton of codes on my first trip to the store.
Also, I'd like to coin an expression if I may.
"The IceFly Flip"
Definition: Grabbing a box of 5Gum off a checkout shelf with one hand while overturning it into your other hand, fanning out all the packs slightly allowing an easy push back into the box.
I have this move down to an art at this point.

Went to two Walmarts, one Sweet Bay, two 7-11s, one Hess, two Walgreens, and finally found my first five packs at a Publix... fml.
I'm going to hit it up in a few days to find more.

LOL! I did the same thing! We should make an instructional video about this move...

Glad I could help Warren. If anyone wants 10 packs I have someone that didn't need them and thought I would offer them up here before I take them back to the store.
