Is the steam running out of the 66 Batman train already?

^Mattel's own unfortunate comments, and the fact that Amazon has the figures slashed to 1/4th the original price. But that may be a fluke on the Amazon thing. Mattel did their line no favors by having a spokesperson basically say the line had ended...when it hadn't.

Oh, I might be able to snag a few at those prices.

Yeah, I got the first wave of Young Justice 3 3/4 inch figures on "clearance" for 2.50 each when the line had just been released like a month ago. There were several waves that hadn't even come out yet so that was obviously an omen.

There has been interest in the line here in Orlando. I live between two major shopping areas and can easily get to 2 ToysRUs, 3 Targets, and 4 Wal-marts. All of them got Batman '66 product and all of it pretty much sold out. Maybe it's international tourist taking them back to countries where they aren't available?

^None of the Wal-Marts, K-Marts, or Targets near me carried them at all. I inquired at each place and they didn't even have a spot for them. One Wal-Mart near me doesn't even carry Star Wars. Yeah, STAR WARS. Try wrapping your head around that!

NJ Croce is coming out with a set of Batman 1966 Bendies in March. It's the same company that makes those retro-looking Justice League bendies and Gumby.

I'm mad at my Wal-Mart. They've shrunk the size of their toy section. The action figure aisle is 3/4 of an aisle plus a half an aisle of Lego. And now the toy section is almost stripped. The Max Steel section is literally empty and the marvel and Star Wars sections are threadbare. Plus, the store is generally a mess. I'm starting to avoid Wal-Mart and they are going the way of Zayres if they aren't careful.

I Have not seen these as much as I would like. I had my hands on the B&R 2 pack I found at a TRU, but thought the price was way to steep ($35) so I dropped it.
A few weeks later, I found a Riddler and a Batman at my Walmart a few weeks back. I saw them on the peg and the tag read $8.99. I looked the entire aisle and could not find the proper tag. So I pointed it out and got them for that price. Score!!
Today at a holiday type of store at the mall, I found a penguin which I bought for $22

So if the line is not doing well, they are hard to find. But then again this is Mattel we are talking about here, so maybe they have not put out as many as you would think.

Sitting at $12.06 on Amazon for the set!
