DCU Classic Talk

[BlackKnight]

So,

I finally Seen the Anti-monitor Wave in at my Local Target .
They had several of Certain Characters, But No ScareCrow or Either Jordan. Not sure how the stock these , or what full cases look like, or really if they just Opened them up 2 cases at a time, & Throw out whatever ..., but it was the Most I've ever seen of DCU Classics at target ..., like Ever. I got all of em, but Hal & Scarecrow. I never bought these online yet ....

Batman Legacy Wave 1 Are Everywhere here. Batman is very scarce in these parts ...., but it seems as if Nobody Wants Joker or Freeze. I bought Freeze so far ..., But I really wouldn't be surprised if someone Like Target Throws Joker & Freeze on clearance in the Near Future. I don't think these Guys Move.

Batman Legacy Wave 2 is nowhere here. Batmite is Suppost to be only packaged with Batman at K-Mart Only ...., But none of my Kmarts got the memo That they are suppost to carry this Line I guess .... So No Batmite or Catman for BK Yet.

Walmarts are Slammed with Wave 14 ... Still....
S.T.R.I.P.E & Nekron Waves are due to hit ...., & Wave 19 has been poping up on Ebay, I doubt I will see either in stores.

TRU has a Buttload of the Shazam!/ Black Adam 2 Pack ..., But Joker/Quinns are gone. ...

1 Walmart outta 3 here have the Crime Syndicate ...., & They are not Budging off of the 75 buck price tag Yet ...., But that Owlman just looks so Bad Arse , 1 of these weeks after my Family Birthday season ends it's gotta be mine.

Wave 16 - Saw Mercury, Hex and Creeper at Walmart. Never saw the others.

Wave 17 - Saw all but Black Lantern Hal at Target.

Wave 18 - Saw entire wave between 2 different Walmarts.

Wave 19 - Saw entire wave at Target last Thursday.

Batman Legacy - seen them all except for the Kmart exclusive with Batmite. Having a hard time finding that one. Modern Batman is not hard to find here. Target seems to have Wave 1 and Walmart seems to have Wave 2.

I'll have to find the 3 from wave 16 and the Black Hal from wave 17 either in the marketplace or online somewhere at some point. Plus I STIILL need Gentleman Ghost to complete Giganta. One Walmart here as well has the CS set.

Not sure when the final Wave 20 hits and now the LOSH 12-pack hits on the 15th of Oct. I want them but the price....

[BlackKnight]

LOSH Matty Only ?
.... I didn't know those are scheduled ..., Dunno I have the cashflow .

I've seen all of the Batman Legacy figures, including the K-Mart Batman/Batmite set. I managed to get the only two for me and the boy. So far I picked up Batman/Batmite, Joker and Catman. Will probably get Batgirl eventually, but that Mr. Freeze paint scheme never did much for me, even in the Super Powers days.

Today at Target I saw much of the Blackest Night wave, including the Black Lantern Hal, Flash, Atom and Lex. Michael Crawford reported the JSA wave was hitting Targets, but none at the one I visited today.

I saw the Legacy toys at the Burlington Toy Show today. They wanted $35 each for them and thus they stayed at the toy show.

I don't understand why Canada can't have the same stuff as you guys do in stores. I get so frustrated when I hear about DCUC and the like because the don't make it up north everywhere.

Now on the bright side, it looks like people are starting to clear out the older DCUC because most the dealers at the toy show had them at $10 each. I was able to finally get the Flash and a non mullet classic Superman.

[dorky tough guy]

I just got into collecting these as of late and have acquired a number of them over the past month. I started out on the Darkseid CAC line just to build him but I started wanting all of them after I picked those up.

I got all of wave 18 easily at Walmart and now have the Apache Chief CAC figure. I found all of Wave 16 (Bane CAC) at Toys R Us a few weeks ago but only picked up Robin (modern), Riddler, Deathstroke (All Stars) and the Joker (All Stars). I wish I would have picked them all up but saw a few of them at a local K-Mart yesterday.

I've been picking up the Green Lantern DCUC lines for $5 each at Walmart. I'm not the biggest GL fan but I can't pass them up at that price.

So far thru Amazon and local store finds I have almost 50 figures. Not bad for someone who initially balked at the line (I love em now).

I think the stores are just now putting out Waves 16-18 which is strange since I've seen later Waves in stores for months now. Must be a stockroom issue. You can still find figures from Waves 10 through 15 in some spots.

[ScottA]

I can't believe I haven't seem either Robins, Riddler or Azrael Bats. The 4 I wanted the most from that wave (being a Robin collector and all). Walmart was the only place I saw that wave and that was months ago. Our TRU still has Mary Marvel and Eclipso. One Walmart has the Zatanna wave.

The one Walmart that has the Crime Syndicate sets has sold at least one. But that's it so far. I keep checking to see if they drop in price but so far not yet.

We have one Kmart but it's 20 miles away. The last time I checked there it didn't even have the Legacy series and the DCUC were gone as well. I did get Batgirl, Catman and Joker. I still have to get Freeze and will probably get Bats as well at some point.

I'm having an easier time finding the Batman Legacy figures than most recent waves of DCUC.

[madmarva]

I've collected this line from the very beginning and have most of the figures and variants (Demon is the only one I can think of that I don't have), but I'm seriously thinking of selling these off before the market for them totally drops out when the line is discontinued in stores.

But that JSA wave is pretty enticing as is the Legion pack, but the price is a killer.

Oh well

[ScottA]

I have been with this line since day 1. The following I NEVER saw in any store:

Wave 3 Both versions of Deathstroke and Yellow Sinestro
Wave 5 Amazo
Wave 8 Both versions of Dr, Fate, Gentleman Ghost, both Parademons, Hawkgirl
Wave 8 Green Arrow, comic book Mantis
Wave 13 Classic Cheetah
Wave 16 Azrael, both Robins, Riddler
Wave 17 Black Lantern Hal

Considering the amount of figures that totals in 20 waves I guess that's not too bad. I still need 6 of those listed with Gentleman Ghost my #1 want. We won't even talk about the Matty ones. Still a long way to go to have them all.

[starsky]

how much are gentleman ghosts going for? i think he's the hardest one to find!

[Anarchy]

ive bought wave 16, 17 and 18 from online retailers, although i just saw all of wave 17 at my target. saw wave 19 at two toy shows this past weekend, seeling for about 30 bucks each. needless to say they stayed at the toy show.

bought batman and batmite, catman, batgirl at my local kmart, i opened a case.

also bought the crime syndicate 5 pack from walmart.com. seems all of my local walmarts barely carry any good toys anymore.

I still need gentleman ghost and the giganta pieces.. :(

also my apache chiefs waist part broke into two pieces and had to glue it back together, yay quality control mattell

[Anarchy]

I can still find classic cheetahs at my kmarts if you need one..

We have a lot of older DC Direct figures and have stopped most of our upgrading, unless it's a really desperate need(such as the Starfire). We've been able to pick up most of the figures we wanted, but if you see something you're looking for, grab it because you never know if it will show up again. Our Targets and Walmarts seem to have oodles of old waves left, because odd selections seem to show up from time to time. The only thing I didn't get that I wanted is the Trigon BaF.

[wyatterb]

All the Walmarts here pulled what they had left (Waves 10 & 14) off the shelves a few months ago and haven't put out anything else DC related other than some Green Lantern stuff.
