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. I have basically figured out that,with this wave aside, Target is the place to look for DC stuff. Walmart seems uninterested in it with a few rare exceptions and even when they get stuff it is so sporadic. You know, I often wonder if instead of making the DC folks exclusive to any store, why don't they just sell them through Matty Collector? they're already selling other stuff through their site so why not just do that. wouldn't that be easier?

Think I will check the Flowery Branch Target today. I've taken a break from collecting other than a few Marvel Universe figures. What are you guys feelings on the ROC figures coming out. I think they look great and I actually like the new take on some
of the characters. |

I'm not even thinking about series 8 at this point since I'm still trying to find peeps from wave 7! I am a HUGE JSA fan though, so there are definitely some people I want from that wave. Which is what concerns me even more about Power Girl's inclusion in wave 10. I agree that Joker is a marquee character to be in any set, but PG is a big name in my mind too so I REALLY hope the distribution is a LOT better this time.

I don't know about Target. My local stores are months behind Wal-Mart in getting the latest waves, and still have some figures hanging around from wave 2. My local Targets have always been pretty bad with stuff, though, so maybe I just have bad luck in the toy managers at my stores. And according to Mattel, beginning with wave 9 (Wildcat, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Mantis, Guardian, Deadshot, Black Adam, Chemo C&C) supposedly next month, the DCUC will be available on MattyCollector. We'll see. |

I agree on Power Girl, to me she is a 'must have' figure. Joker though...that's taking a big chance on Mattel's part in my opinion. They've already hurt their rep with fans a lot with the Gleek issue, and the JLU bailout request, and the website issues with MOTUC, etc. If a large number of fans can't get their Joker figure for this line, Mattel is in for an earful.

We'll see. The way you describe your targets are how our walmarts are here. How ironic. I agree that if they screw up the distribution that all the Batman and Arkham fans will have one more coniption fit. (of course that's how I'll feel concerning Power Girl). I hope you are right about series 9 being on mattycollector. if so it will make collecting the DC figures SOOOO much easier. I actually gave up trying to even find them for a while and started getting stuff from other lines since it became a waste of time to try to get anything DC.

I think I've seen a few figures I'll get and bunch more I'll pass on. Most of the vehicles look like passes too. but to each his own.

Gotta agree with this..even though some like the Pit Guard figure look awesome, I can't justify army building them at around $8 a figure. Even w/ good accessories, at that size the price just doesn't make sense.

Somewhat sad, but funny story today. So I checked a couple places at lunch today. Thought about checking TRU but remembered that the last time I called it they didn't have anything, so I didn't bother. After work, I had reason to be near the TRU again, so I figured what the hell. I called the number in my phone and when the guy answered, it was a different TRU than the one I thought I was calling! Now I have called this number several times before and was never the wiser. Anyways they gave me the number for the TRU that I wanted. I called it and asked if they had DCUC. Lo and behold and to get to the point - I now have a WGH version of WW. This TRU (Kennesaw) had remnants of wave 7. They still had Booster, 2 Blue Beetles, WGH Firestorm and a Capt Cold when I left. Just imagine if I had checked that TRU at lunchtime (and all the checks I did before). Happy hunting!
