    They have shown up at Dollar General and Big Lots as well in the past.

    Lou - yea I keep going back and forth on the selling. I'm so far along but at the same time.... I missed Volcana and the 6-packs with Vibe and Atomic Skull (none showed here). I also don't have any of the Matty sets but I do have Solomon Grundy and Giganta. What to do, what to do?

        I hear ya' Scott! I was close to selling them off too until I decided to rip them open...I just wish I knew that barely any of them stand up! Kind of takes the fun out of a loose collection but I'll figure something out. Just drop me a line when/if you're ready to unload some of them Scott.

        Yeah huedell, I realized that after I posted about Volcana. I suppose if it comes down to needing just her I'd pay whatever for her anyway. I want to see how things go first because I have a lot of work to do to get caught up so I won't be worrying about toughies like Volcana and Hal GL until I have to. There's simply too many other easily accessible figures I need first anyway. Thanks for all the advice though fellas! I really do appreciate it!

        Remember too that that poster still isn't complete after all, as I said, Angle Man is missing from it.

          Hit Target tonight and they had:

          Flash, Captain Boomerang, and Captain Cold
          Cyborg, Plastic Man, Mr. Miracle
          The Green Lantern, Kama Toi, and Despero
          Silver Banshee, Superman, and Metallo

          I didn't realize these suckers are $16 a pop now! They were $12 a pop when I left off buying them! So I grabbed The Flash, Cold, Boomerang because it was the only one where I needed all 3 figures. I'll probably go back and get some more next week, maybe they'll restock after I buy up these last 3-packs.

              LOL! It was fun wilbs! You're a lucky man to only be missing ten figures! I'm still a ways back but I did pick up today:

              Cyborg, Plastic Man, Mr. Miracle
              The Green Lantern, Kama Toi, and Despero
              Silver Banshee, Superman, and Metallo
              Superman, Livewire, and Weather Wizard

              So I cleaned out my local Target of the remaining three 3-packs they had (one of those above was from another Target) so hopefully they will restock with some of the others I need that are pictured on the back like the Samurai, Black Vulcan, Apache Chief 3-pack and the Amanda Weller 3-pack, to name a few.
