DCU All Star Wave 1 Larfleeze Canceled.

[BlackKnight]

So a Big Old *** ??? Here for me.
I had 3 of these Guys pre-Ordered with a Super Boy Prime...., and BBTS Just sent me a Notice Stating that Mattel Canceled this Guy for the Wave.

Why ? .... He was Probably gonna sell Better than the Other 3 In the Wave imo. The Figure Can't be canceled totally......, Perhaps Moved so people gotta pay 22 Bucks for him in the Subscription instead.


I woulda Thought if someone Wants to cancel a Flipp'in figure..., Cancel that Flash Point Plasticman.

[BlackKnight]

I guess a bunch of em were canceled.
Wave 1 is Now ...

Superboy Prime
52 Superman
52 Batman
Red Robin

[thunderbolt]

An all Batman/Superman wave for online sales. Its like Mattel wants to dump the liscense.

I picked up the Reverse Flash from the Wave 20 Classics series last night. There have been some really good ones in that line up. I saw White Lantern Flash and thought that was pretty interesting too.

Given the big marketing push for the new 52, there is the answer there.

With DCD already cannibalizing sales by making figures out of the latest designs coming out of the comic books, and being first out of he starting gate each time, there might be some strategy between what goes to the toy stores and what goes to Matty Collector.

I don't understand the Larfleeze getting axed, but who wanted THAT Plastic Man? And Batman Beyond wasn't that hard to find, was he?

I may be slightly interested in Red Robin. I will not support anything with "the new 52" out of principal.

Is Larfleeze axed or just bumped for a Later wave?

I can understand the frustration... He's one of my favourite new Lantern figures as well.

HOLY MOLY... I just had a peak at the prices DCD Larfleeze is fetching on eBay.n that is insane! Matty really is missing out by bumping him if he's that popular amongst collectors.

Are these waves still going to be available at retail or are these the Matty waves? I haven't seen a new wave around here since the Apache Chief one..

Thats the thing Ed ...
They gotta be moving him over to the Matty Subscription Wave ...., He's too Damn Popular to just Cancel Him completely. They Want more Money for him.

I only Had Pre-Orders for Larfleeze, Superboy Prime and Red Robin. I red the entire Tim Drake/Red Robin series..., and Loved it. I don't want 52 Anything Figures...., Unless they Make a Grifter or that new Earth Red Lantern Guy ...

I can't really find any here.
... I pre-ordered the All Star figures I wanted, to make sure I got them.
I do believe they were Origionally suppost to be at retail.
However, I wasn't gonna take that Chance, Based on How my Retail likes to Overly Stock Un-wanted Movie Crappy Toys the last few Years.

I was surprised to see wave 20 at the Walmart down the street from me. Last wave it carried was...wave 1.

Did somebody say Red Robin?

Did somebody say Red Robin?

Yummmmmmm!

[Earth 2 Chris]

^See that's the kind of wrong-headed thinking that goes on at DC these days. How could they not realize how goofy that name was given the restaurant chain and it's ad campaign?

For a one-off project like Kingdom Come, fine. For an ongoing book about an established character?

Why not just rename Atom-Smasher "Big Boy"?

Wow. Way to bookend the line, huh?

[BlackKnight]

Wave 20 Isn't here.
.... as far as Retail goes that I can see.
Some Wave 15, Wave 18, Wave 19 ..., Wave 16 and wave 13 at some K-Marts .... and I think thats about it, other than Mr. Freeze and Over Priced Legacy 2 Packs.
