And given that wave 10 will be another WM exclusive wave, this time including Power Girl and The Joker...let's just say I'm a little nervous about getting my hands on them (and I never saw any of the last WM exclusive wave...at that point none of my local 5 stores carried DCUC). |

Quite possible that those two WM's don't carry DCUC. I have 5 WMs that I check on a regular basis and only two of them carry DCUC and DCIH.

Oh, absolutely. My two closest WM's (unfortunately, not the two that carry the DC stuff) have been dry since XMas more or less. It's been TRU and Target or nothing around here.

Mean Machine, I did find some clearanced Joes today at Flowery Branch and Gainesville Target. got my first Crimson Guard figure today for $5.22 (this was the total with tax). Pretty good buy I thought. The planes were discounted to $18 at Flowery Branch target (only had the repaints) but were not at Gainesville. FB Target had two resolute packs for $17.48 if I remember right. they had a Firebat for $10.48 and both stores had CPs for $9.02. if the CPs were a little less I might pick up a viper/IG pack. still not sold on it. and Bandit, I found the DCUC Wonder Woman today. I didn't buy it for you since I didn't know if you wanted the version that came with the Despero piece or the one that comes with a stand. The one today had a stand and no Despero part. But it is in Flowery Branch Target. All the DCUC figures I can find lately are the awful wave 7 Aquaman (who I still don't want to have to buy to get Atom Smasher's torso), Captain Cold and a few oddities from wave 2. STILL need a wave 7 Big Barda which I cannot find!! Gainesville Target has Dr. Impossible, Captain Cold and Booster Gold.

Oh my dear gravy, Power Girl is going to be in the walmart exclusive wave? I had not heard this and like you this concerns me GREATLY since the only Walmart exclusive wave 5 figure I EVER saw anywhere was the Riddler. The Walmart in Buford had TONS of the Riddler but no one else from that wave! that was so strange.

Appreciate the thought. I'm not worried about the C&C piece since I don't have any intention to build Despero. Glad to hear that WW in continuing to show up at Target, so I will make sure my searches continue to include those. I'm glad that other parts of the state have these showing up. Hopefully, it is just a matter of time before NW Georgia begins to see an influx. I have 3-4 Targets and 3 WMs (that carry DCUC) within 20 minutes of where I live, so I have to imagine that the odds are in my favor.

I would think your best bet for WW at this point will be Target. I don't know about the NW or NE parts of the state, but here in Mid-GA wave 7A/B hit Wal-Mart quite some time ago, with little in the way of restocks since they first showed up.
In all honesty, I'm worried about how long wave 8 seems to be taking to show up at retail, especially since wave 9 is due next month on MattyCollector according to their latest Q&A responses. And yeah, Wave 10 being another WM only wave is likely to be a headache. Mattel swears up and down that distribution will be better this time, so I guess we'll see. Joker is a big name character to be stuck in a wave with potentially crappy distribution. I haven't seen a confirmed list for wave 10 outside of those two...supposedly a re-released DCSH Man-Bat at least, maybe Static, Forager, Beast Boy or Robotman. Guess we'll find out in a few weeks. |
