    Finally have all Retro-Action Figures

    Since like many my local TRU didn't bring them all in and then Mattel did the GL series of releases, i didn't get to buy them all directly. the Gl ones all sold out before i could buy them. However i finally got my last one in yesterday it was John Stewart. The Funny thing is , i bought most of them on ebay, and for the most part i paid less there than if i bought them from Mattel or from the stores. i would try not to pay more than $15 -18 with $5 shipping and for the most part that worked. Now i just want a couple extra Wonder Woman for customs or use Cheetah bodies and i'm all done.

    Is anybody else satisfied with how they got thiers?

    I'm working on collecting them as well. I've picked up some on Amazon and on ebay. I picked up a case of the wave 4 figs on ebay yesterday for $99 shipped. That's less than $12.50 per figure shipped. It was a Buy it Now with best offer option. I offered $15 less than the BIN price and the seller accepted.

    By the way, the same seller has 7 more cases. If anyone is interested, I can post a link.

            The super dork in me really wants to snatch up a case but don't have the cash at the moment. Still a case would be so cool to ay I bought one.

              The Wave 4 was the only one I did not buy in person at TRU, it had to come from Amazon. Totally passed on the GL's as they did nothing for me character wise.

                After buying the first wave at the local comic shop, I wound up ordering the remaining waves online via EE and Amok Time. Also picked up an extra WW at a Toys R Us, and scored the GL figures at MattyCollector. I wasn't 100% sure the Toys R Us' in my area would have 'em all, so online was the place to go.

                Turns out the local comic shop would get 'em all, and only until recently did they start moving 'em out. I think Wave 3 is gone there, but the other waves are still there, tough the price went up a bit.

No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

                  I scored all of them on amazon and got generally good prices. I had to pay many shekels for a green arrow. Then last night they had him on matty.com and i almost had a stroke after what I had to pay. Still, I have a complete collection. I even made a custom robin.

                    I have yet to buy the GL exclusives, Cheetah, Martian Manhunter, Darkseid, Two Face, and Batman, but only still kind of want MM. I got a little bored with the line, got sidetracked by Doctor Who, and am now wondering when we'll see the next new Star Trek figures -- Chapel and Vina.

                      There are nowhere near enough pictures in these forums. Nothing like a good group/display shot!
