I'm looking to get both sets eventually, I just don't have the money to spare on it right now. I'm actually only keen on like half the figs. Hopefully they'll turn up at Ross in a few months.

Hey SS -
Building off of our DC Showcase talk... I saw this today Blog@Newsarama » Blog Archive » Superman and Captain Marvel headline DC Showcase Collection "Warner Bros. Animation has announced that on November 9, they will release the DC Showcase Original Shorts Collection, a DVD with animated takes including Superman and Captain Marvel, The Spectre, Green Arrow and Jonah Hex."

Hmm, ok...i ran by TRU this morning on my way to work. Picked up CC, FF, and AV, plus some SW Figs. Now, one of my local scalpers was onsite. As far as scalpers go, he seems like a nice guy...except for the whole scalping retail toys go. So, the manager lets us in, we both zoom over to the SW/Joe aisle. I snag a Pre Vizsla from the sw pegs and beam over to the joes. We both lock onto the new joes at the same time and i grab cc first but he grabs it as i am taking him off the peg. He's like "I need that one" and I'm like "So do I". The weird thing is he tugs on it as if to take it from my hand and I tell him "I got it first man" and he lets go and stalks off saying "Thats F****d up". Ok, heres the weird part....i kinda felt bad. I mean, i did grab it first, but i dunno....I thought about going to the marvel aisle he had gone to just hand him the thing, but then the whole "sells retail toys for crazy markups" factor kicked in and I proceeded to the check-out. So, what do you tankers think? Righteous score or douche move?
Did I wake up in the Bizzaro Universe?!?! Is up down, black white, dogs and cats living in harmony ... hello is good-bye?!?! Be pround that you scored a victory not over your scalper, but scalpers everywhere!!

Yeah, Red Hood was really good. The animation was crisp and fluid, and the voice acting was great. I would have preferred Hamill on Joker, but the dude they got was fine. I really wished they would have had more Talia in it, than just her little bit of flashback. I dig her character and would have loved to see her with that level of animation. All the fights were boss, especially when Batman and Nightwing take on Amazo. very cool!

Airborne, I've had that clip playing while I work, that Superman speech is killer! "What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose, and show you just how powerful I REALLY am!" And not to be outdone: Metron - "Only a 12th level intellect has a slightest hope of surviving what you are about to experience." Luthor - "Then I'm overqualified!" JLU Lex Luthor is pure greatness! |

Good move on your part. I laugh at scalpers that I see here. I know a few o' them... trust me.. the first guy that did that to me never did touch the entire case after that.
