McFarlane doing Super Powers?

[Makernaut]

After seeing the Batwing initially priced at $20 and then quickly move to $30 (same price as Supermobile)....even amid numerous reports of the canopy breaking......I decided to play the long game to get it on clearance. Saw it marked down to $21 for months and they weren't moving from the clearance spot at my local Walmart. The other morning I saw a $15 sticker on it so I finally picked one up to go with the Supermobile I got last Spring. I know that's a weird quibble, but it's part of the "on the hunt and playing the long game" experience my brain seems to enjoy.

Found a Batwing for $5 at my local Walmart today when I was for the Vision Center. It was the last one they had. No Supermobiles, but they did have the Batmoblile & Invisible Jet in the toy aisle.

Did Walmart have the Wave 4 figures (Aquaman, Black Manta, etc) as well, or just the new vehicles?

[powersthatbe]

At my one Walmart,where I can find their clearance aisle, both the Supermobile and the batwing were $10.

The only figs they had were WW, Deathstroke, John Stewart, Batman Who Laughs and Nightwing. Flash from the John Stewart wave hasn't been seen in the stores around here for a while, but those 5 have been ubiquitous, though WW is sold out at one of the stories but plentiful at the other. Both stores here also reduced drastically the number of pegs for the Super Powers figures going into the holiday season. They used to have 6-8 pegs, now they are down to 3 and the pegs have been given to anime based action figures for the holiday season, so there's a chance the new wave won't make it out until some of the old figs sell or get put on clearance as well, as our Wallyworld's don't seen to restock until the pegs are empty even if they have them in the stockroom.

That's a fantastic bargain you found on the Batwing. Especially in light of the great care I took with the canopy on the one I purchased...only to see it immediately make a "crunch" sound where it hinges.

I shook the broken piece out of the opening and got the canopy to go back in place and close.......with Batman inside.

My local Walmart got in the Batmobile but no new figures.

Walmart's website is showing me that my local store also has the new vehicles in stock, but none of the new figures. So you must be right about them wanting to get rid of the old waves first. That's disappointing. i really want the Black Manta figure, and it's been such a long wait already. Seems like the Nightwing wave hit stores ages ago.

Picked up an Invisible Jet today, and finally a Wonder Woman to go with it. No sign of any of the new figures yet though.

I need Robin.

My local Walmart got in both the Batmobile and Invisible Plane after I picked them up out of town.

Still no new figures.

The whirlybat blade function is great.

I really want that Robin.
