    There are still none within 100 miles of where I live. Frustrating—looks like eBay for me.

      Are you on the east coast? That area still has yet to have a sighting, according to the Mego Ambassadors FB page. Ohio is the farthest east I've seen.

        I’m in Alabama. It’s not unusual for this region to get spotty distribution of any toy exclusive, but still frustrating.

          I have no plans on buying these but a friend of mine from CT asked me to pick up Superman if I saw it. So last night I went to the Big Lots in East Stroudsburg, PA and didn't see them in the Christmas section or the toy aisles.

            After going to numerious Big Lots (some multiple times) I ‘ve given up, buying one on ebay.

            Toy collecting in the post-Covid era is really no fun at all.

                I was right by a Big Lots yesterday and shrugged it off. It would have required a left turn at lunchtime...and Whataburger was beckoning.

                        I live in south Texas and have run across two stores that have gotten in one box each. One store had mixed in the box toy isle while the 2cd had them out front.

                        I just took turn-a-round pics of the Dynamic Duo so stayed tuned.

                          Of course. Big Lots had toys 50% off today and you can't find them.

                              I have a huge Big Lots about three minutes from our home. When I took one of my Batman cowls and painted it for this release, I never knew this set would become what its clearly become. I ended up having to drive 15 miles to the nearest store that confirmed they had all four. Paul really hit on a nerve that allot of people were apparently feeling and kudos to him for always finding that pulse in this hobby that has been examined and re-examined for a long time. Its definitely opened the door to other possibilities. Paul deserves allot of credit for making this happen and he doesn't even have a set for himself yet.

                                Well after striking out locally and coming up empty on a mini vacation, I decided to take the sku posted here to my local Big Lots. They confirmed that nothing was near by. After a 30 minute road trip to a store that my local store said had nine, I picked up Superman. Case breakdown was 3 Batman, 2 Robin, 2 Superman, and 2 Joker. I thought I would really want the display box, but I was unimpressed. It's just a white cardboard single row sleeve to hold all the nine figures with a maybe 2" flap with DC WGSH artwork on the front. It was tiny and wouldn't look all that great on display. Also for those still looking, they had them set aside near the front registers. They were concerned that people would steal them so I had to ask for their location after finding nothing out in the store.
