      Looks like EBAY is now being flooded with them now.

            Picked up a set at the Five Below in Fairmount NY last nite.. my first retro purchase other than Star Trek.. just couldn't resist. Only one Martian Manhunter on the shelf, a couple Darkseids, several Black Adam, and at least half a dozen Shazam..

              I have a friend in need of a set, if anybody would be willing I'd be in their debt.

                I heard there were four figures at a Five Below that is 20 mins out of my normal way, and I haven't been able to get there.
                I bought the only figure in the store that's 5 mins from my house.

                  Looks like the one near my house re-stocked again. Makes me wonder how many of these never made it out of the warehouse during their original run.
                  It's all good!

                    And Mattel wondered why it didn't sell.

                            Just found a whole bunch at my local Five Below. Yeah, $5 a piece, you cannot ask for better than that!!!

                            Picked up two (2) each of Shazam, Black Adam and Darkseid. Darkseid was the figure they had most of, I left probably 8-10 of them on the shelf when I walked out. They had no Martian Manhunters.

                            What a trip! $5 a piece for these is like a dream! Thanks to the OP for letting me know about this.

                              Yeah, it was pretty exciting to see these at Five Below for this price. I had bought mine a while back for $20 a piece, which I don't regret too much, because I think they're worth it, but $5 is pretty awesome. I just wish they had more variety! I'd buy a whole extra collection! 4 for the price of one is a heck of a deal. Really makes me upset this line didn't continue. I can't believe they didn't release the last wave that was under development. Not a single store would take a Robin & Joker 2-pack as an exclusive? Give me a break. Someone at Mattel wasn't trying hard enough.

                                When the original Mattel exec. behind retro moved on, no one else at Mattel cared for the line and it was left to die........that's the simple fact
