Is the new line of WGSH a success?

[Meule]

As the resident Chartered Accountant here...I'd say 33 in all.

(GA + 4 waves at 4 each x 4 more waves in year two)

Assuming there are four waves per year.

I think there was only gonna be 3 waves a year

[drmego]

3 waves of 4 figures per wave - plus whatever mattycollector figures Mattel wants
us to make - plus whatever else they want us to make outside the DCU.

I just saw that Green Arrow's status on mattycollector has changed from
"Currently Unavailable" to "Sold Out". I will ask Mattel next week about
this. It was my understanding that more GAs were coming.

Does this mean there will be other exclusives?

[thunderbolt]

Kinda sounds that way. Would love to see a villain for Ollie. Clock King, The Calculator or Merlyn would be cool.

Hmm.. gotta make room on the shelf for 33 more eh? Well, guess it's time to buy another shelf.. :D

More figures are always a plus of course, but I don't like exclusives.
On the other hand tho, GA seemed easy enough to get... even tho he's sold out now

Toys R Us

The Toys R US here in Wichita, KS has sold out twice. Both times the same day they were stocked. If the other retailers are expierencing the same response, these things are going to be blockbusters. I would reccommend Matell release the next wave sooner, while momentum is hot.

id say supes is a big success

8 cases and im almost sold out of superman now

i think ill hang on to some GA as when the movie starts to gather interest the interest in that figure will gather pace here

as for lex some folks like it as its supes arch... but sinestro :(

ill be trading them off for stuff i can actually sell LOL no one here has a jar of glue who sinestro is

I fixed that for you.

Maybe hang on to Sinestro & GL in pairs.. until the movie hits, then sell them as Special-Movie-Sets. By end of the year we'll be approaching wave 3 and GL and Sinestro will be out of production, so finding these will be a bit tougher.

Hey Doc,
Any news on GA?

[Meule]

"Sold Out" doesn't necessarily translate into "Success".

Sure it does, if everything is sold out they made a sweet profit. Production numbers aren't important here, they get the money back they invested plus more. How is that not a success?

[thunderbolt]

And if the first shipment sold out, that means its time to make more.

Looking online you can still find the first wave out there. Especially if you are interested in getting the entire wave. I checked BBTS this morning and the only individual figures sold out are GA (no surprise) and Superman. Nice to see Superman getting some love.
