    I was actually so stoked for the brainiac ship when it was leaked on a list, even looking around for a 2nd sp Brainiac to keep him in the ship. But I have to admit I'm a little underwhelmed...its more of a chariot than a ship.

      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

        Yeah, this set is completely full of win. Yeah, I wish they'd done the Manga Batman on a different body, but it's still neat to have him. Gold Superman is a nice nod to Kenner. The Panic in the Sky Brainiac and ship is a great bonus. But that Blue Beetle and Bug are wants from 1986.

            Look closely at the back of The Bug for future release figure:

              The Kuwata Batman is a bit disappointing. I was hoping for an on model body sculpt. I'll still be getting him, but honestly expected better.

                These sold out so fast on BBTS, disappointed. And I've never seen WM Reverse-Flash and Black Manta at retail, either.

                Toy collecting should not be this difficult *sigh*

                  When these two hit my Walmart I will be buying as many as I can put on my Walmart card. I miss the days of the JLU where you could find figures at reasonable prices and customize an army. I did the whole Lantern Corps in JLU.

                      I bought the MTS Bundle so I can get the exclusive "Panic In The Sky" Brainiac Ship and Sinestro Corps Sinestro. I think that's the only way to get Sinestro. And that bundle is already Sold Out.

                      I really like these, which is funny, because I wasn't a huge fan of Super Powers in the 80s. I had the initial ones, the Super Mobile and that fantastic Batmobile, but I was aging out of toys and those little action figures didn't match up to my big Mego figures as a kid. But these are fun and feel like toys, even if they are being sold more and more like collectibles. I just need to find a Reverse Flash. I got lucky and found a Black Manta a few weeks back.

                          My checklist so far:
                          Orange -- I have (most I have duplicates of to make Bizarro versions)
                          Black -- Do not have the desire to add them to my collection.

                          I have not found Batman '89 or Nightwing 90's outfit but thinking about adding them.

                          I have yet to see Black Manta or Reverse Flash at Walmart down here.

                          I hope Yellow Lantern Sinestro is going to show up at Walmart, I really want to make the Lantern Corps again.

                            Been avoiding the post-90s figures, and most of the repaints, but may still want to pick up a few of those. I still need Hal and blue Sinestro. Ordered the new characters and vehciles from this latest wave.

                                Got in my Whirly-Bat. This was another Kenner Super Powers that was on the planning board but didn't get made.
