You only have to do that if you haven't ordered anything from them before

Yep I understand that and I haven't ordered from them before so I know I have to send them a fax with my details but what I wanted to know is should I send them a customer or order number along with it

According to TFwiki, since 2004 Hasbro has had to use the term Fireblast instead of Firepower because apparently they lost the trademark (there's no link to any external reference source though). Here's what I don't get:

+ 'Firepower' was never used as a name (e.g. for character, faction, line etc.). Surely people can't go around trademarking the English language for use outside of product names.

+ If Firepower and Fireblast are trademarked, then why don't we see: Strength(TM) Intelligence(TM) Speed(TM) Endurance(TM) Rank(TM) Courage(TM) Fireblast(TM) Skill(TM)... if every word in a tech specs has to be trademarked, then shouldn't we see (TM) appearing all over the place?

+ Hasbro used "Firepower" in TF tech specs for 19 years (1984-2003)... how did they manage to lose the trademark for something they were still using? I thought they lost trademarks when they stopped using them and they expired.
