    Target JLU prices are up again

    $19.99 for a three-pack and $9.99 for a single. Crazy.

    They're REALLY going to move that Batman/Waller/Eiling 3-pack at that price

          JLU is hoping to go out with a bang!

          And think of how many more waves we could have gotten if fans would have just supported JLU! These are the figures you requested, you were so loud online, but when it comes time to buying them, you guys chicken out at the insane price tag. Come on! /Mattel nonsense.

            I'd buy them if they were still reasonably priced, 10 bucks for one crappy figure that usually doesn't stand on its own is too much for me.

                Not a very good marketing practice to up the price on something in mid stream unless of course maybe we are talking gas and people have to have it. Still not kosher.

                  I'd guess perhaps the economics of scale are in play here? At this point with the end of the line in sight, they are probably producing a much smaller percentage of these than at the height of the line back when the show was still on.

                  Still, how many toylines get a run this long? When we're down to characters like Waller and Eiling, perhaps it is best to put the chairs up and turn off the lights. You know it's not kids buying that three pack.

                    ^Did anyone buy that three pack?

                    I have a tone of JLU figures, bu the price in the last few years has really killed the line for me.

                    It makes no sense that the similarly sized Green Lantern figures are $6.97, have more articulation and accessories to boot.

                      For fans of The Cohen Brothers remake of Ladykillers, these are perfect custom bases...

                      Paint a floral print on Waller and grey up her hair for the titular Lady.


                      Eiling is perfect for the JK Simmons character...


                      And guess what you can do with Static?
