JLU & Infinite Heroes

[roman]

Anyone finding any new figures?

I'm sickened by the pricing at my local Target store. Since november they have had the same figures. I thought we may see them go on sale but no such luck. They raised the prices on three packs of JLU from $9.99 to $12.99 and raised the three packs of Infinite heroes from $12.99 to $15.99. I just went there and despite not selling anything the price is now $18.99.

The statement from target holds no water that they raised prices because of shipping from China. These figures have all been sitting on the pegs and shelves, where they have been sitting.

The selection is KILLOWOG, Guy Gardner , adam strange, Superman, boomerang, luthor and hawkman 3 packs

Mattel's vendor went bankrupt in December according to an interview at action figure insider, which means 2009 will largely be a year of missed shipping dates and many delays.

I read somewhere that Target is done with JLU. The lack of sales has killed the line there. Every time i go there, tons of Kilowogs and Supermen clog the pegs. Poor character selection murders another Mattel line.

of course just when the Shazam JLU figures were supposed to hit

I think those are Matty.com exclusives.

Same here. No new JLU at Target in what seems like a year. Still dons of 3-packs with Question and Fire and Ice.

I noticed the price gouge as well.

I read the same thing about Mattel's vendor. Now they are looking for a new one. So things are going to be pretty delayed. Target is giving peg space to other lines until new JLU product is shipped.
