I'm buying up the stuff I want NOW because if you read any of the early reviews coming in and the Oscar worthy performance by Heath Ledger, I just know all of the Batman merchandise is going to disappear faster than what it already is and prices will go through the freakin' roof. I got both versions of the Deluxe Batman from ToysRus (the Bruce Wayne variant is virtually impossible to find). I've also ordered The Deluxe DC Direct Joker for around $85.00. When this film comes out, that will be the last time you see that Joker figure that cheap, so I'm diving in now. Collectors are already spending more than that for the 6 inch figure so it's relatively insane out there right now!

I had no idea.

Oh, it's nuts out there. If you find the 6 inch Joker with Heath's likeness (not the cartoony version)...BUY IT. Here's what their going for on Ebay. Absolutely nuts - Keep in mind this is a new figure that cost $10.00 and change...

BATMAN THE DARK KNIGHT JOKER DELUXE HEATH LEDGER FIGURE - eBay (item 200232986872 end time Jul-01-08 18:56:13 PDT)

I have yet to find one. At the prices their going for, I'm sure many stock people in Targets and Walmarts are not letting these get to shelves to begin with, so I've about given up on it.

Oh...I've seen Em' at My local Walmart & Toys R' Us...and passed them by. Didn't know thay were so Hot...I just don't collect small Figures.


Haven't seen the 12" one, with the Bale Head though
