Tell me about it. I've only see Goggles up Catwoman. Goggles Down is the last one I need in the series. Thankfully got Blake and Ra's at SDCC at the last minute. I'm really glad I did now.
Yeah lucky you, you got to avoid the release issues for the waves.
I mean come on mattel , did you not learn from the dark knight line, we want these damn figures, we want them now, not online stores now but in store now, we also dont want to stay on our computers all day looking for damn deals and available in stocks, or to go to your site for a release thats now an exclusive, and whats up with re releasing figures in small amounts, really gordon is an exclusive, and really you decided to hold back on ras to release him now and in small amounts here and there... really, its like whats the point of selling 21 batman per case or wave when theres only one catwoman or ras or blake, you are making this collecting thing a scalpers dream, and a collectors nightmare,
i ended up paying close to 200 just to get all the movie masters i wanted from rises... thats insane and just because none of my store carries them... wtf when i was a kid, you went to toysrus or walmart and there was 25 versions of batman from batman returns and 89 batman on shelf and ready for you to chose, and you even got to play with your friends and you all had a mini keaton batman to play with , hell your parents had to be broke to not get you one, and i mean flat out broke, you had to be that kid who never had anything new, hell now i think about it even that kid had a batman figure from returns... even the neighbors dog had one as a chew toy...thats how common they where and easy to get, now you need to get up at 6 am on restock day at walmart, stand in front of the damn store, look at your watch, look out for the scalpers, pretend to like them and make small talk , then when doors open, fast walk to the toys hope the boxes are unpack, get in front of the set up spot for the figs, to block the scalpers, grab everything look for the one figure that not batman, then realize that its not there, that they wont restock for a week, have the scalpers do the same, see them then jump to the next big toy thing, you go home and after a month of this and reading about everyone finding the figure you want, you end up chasing it online to miss out every time its at low cost to either eventually get lucky and find him in store weeks later or for cheap ish online, or buck out and pay up the damn scalpers their price.... when did collecting become this hard... its easier to get a signed photo of a star these days or even see a film before release or even get porn(for free ) then to find the figure you want.
i remember as a kid porn , movies (vhs) and music where something rare and harder to get then toy, now you just download everything and pay out big bucks for figures that where easier to find years ago... when has something as easy as collecting toys become this hard
and thats my 10$ worth... oh yeah saying my 2 cents worth is unrealistic since 10 $ is like spending 2 cents when i was a kid( maybe not) but still 10$ wont get you crap worth anything these days....
not even your fave toy
