McFarlane doing Super Powers?

[Starroid Raiders Dagon]

I'm not sure if I've mentioned any of this before but the first wave is popping up at Gamestops in Canada. It seems each shop is getting 1 of everything, so act fast if you want them.

I saw them at a local Walmart in Vancouver. I held off on getting a Darkseid as I just dont have the space.

All the Walmarts in my area are swimming in Super Powers figures now. I bet Superman and Batman dry up with last-minute Christmas purchases.

[Krypt0nite]

My Walmart is clogged with Darkseid figures.

The Walmart here is loaded with all of the figures released so far. Today I noticed that they have put Batman, Superman, and Darkseid on clearance for $7.00 each.

[powersthatbe]

I was wrong saying they would sell for Christmss( still a bunch out there and discounted to 7 bucks as someone just stated.Hsd hopes for this revival( but I won’t be negative about it as I got the SP SuperMobile I’ve always wanted.

[MegoSteve]

Saw that Superman, Batman and Darkseid are on clearance here, too. I'm hoping the Batwing gets marked down... I should have bought one at $19.97 when they first came out.

[Sabin]

My walmart only has about 4 of each left of Batman and Green Lantern, but there are a lot of Superman and Darkseid (I don't think they ever got in Flash and the Buffoon Who Laughs). They are all still full price. The figures do sell, it just seems like most stores just got way too much inventory of Wave 1 (those displays were huge afterall!)

I noticed that some of wave one was on sale, but it is just going to have to wait till payday. I want to get at least one extra set to turn in Bizarro's for the fun of it.

Concept was good, execution was mid and it's not appealing enough to kids (plus some weird character selections) and not clever enough for a lot of collectors (plus the SP concept has been milked for years now) and you end up with this. A decent line but far from perfect line, priced well, still doesn't sell.

[Werewolf]

I agree the concept could have used a bit more work. Modern costumes and characters should have been left out of a retro line. But I also think we've become so conditioned to empty pegs and under-shipped blink and you miss them figures that we panic when things are actually shipped in a normal amount like they used to be. They probably sold really well.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Yeah, I think it's a case that Walmart actually ordered more than enough to meet demand, which is unheard of with exclusive toys, or even non-exclusive toys nowadays!

Agreed, I think we've become way to accustomed to seeing bare shelves and having to pre-order 6 months in advance to get anything.

[powersthatbe]

Sounds logical. We jump the gun here too often when we see full shelves and think "they aren't selling!" Or the opposite thinking,"The shelves are bare! they didn't make enough stock!"

[Jase]

Looking at the local Walmart stores here, the Super Powers line was a failure for Christmas. Pegs are so overloaded, even at clearance prices.

Saw this today, Oklahoma Wal-Mart. Looks like a new wave is rolling out.
