    EMCE/Mattel Retro-Action now on Amazon!

    Amazon is already offering the new EMCE/Mattel figures! And they're only $19.99. Interestingly, they call 'em "World's Greatest Super-Heroes." Guess they didn't get the memo.

    Here's Green Lantern

    Good news for those not near a Toys "R" Us. Still non-news for folks outside the U.S.

        Spring it is as far as I know. Not sure why Amazon doesn't simply list this as a pre-order. They don't take your money until they ship anyway.

            Interesting - I believe in another thread this week Doc again indicated that this Wave would be around Easter - early April this year. Probably will be one of those cases when you order, Amazon will later email you and say that shipping will be delayed and give you option to cancel.

              Ahh, yeah. . . . I'll just wait

              For $19.99 apiece with free shipping when spending at least $25, it looks like this will be a deal hard to beat

              but the real high will come when walking into a Toy Store and taking pictures of the display and posting them to Twitter :-)

                Yeah, Amazon does this all the time. They don't actually know the release date, so they just slap 4-6 weeks up there and will adjust it accordingly as the date gets closer.

                  I forgot about the free shipping. That does make Amazon the place to go, unless we are walking into TRU and finding these on the shelves. Great point.

                        The more places you can score these the better. Also free shipping rocks

                            yeah id like to see them on shelves here but not for £20-£25 instead of $20 in the us

                            $20 = £12.75

                            £20 = $32

                            we will get ripped off... just like when the new millenium falcon came out $150 us... £150 uk
                            now they have them falcons everywhere for £50

                            im fed up at getting ripped off here

                              I just preordered mine from Amazon. I got 95% of my Mego's from mail away catolog stores growing up, so I may well as continue the tradition.
