Mattel: DC Universe Classics

[swiftlikessharpthings]

You sold Grundy? Man I bet that coulda fetched a pretty penny if you really wanted it to. All I have is a lonely pale right arm with a torn sleeve...

 

[Buttmunch]

Darkseid will definitely rack up some dollar signs on the aftermarket, one of the reasons I already pre-ordered wave 12. I'm only getting the wave for Darkseid, Mid-nite, the Spectre and maybe Copperhead.

In the same vein, I kind of want to finish Atom Smasher since these jerks are making more JSA characters... so much for only getting the Justice League!

I just ordered 12 as well. I want enough of them and Darkseid to make it worthwhile. I would order 13 but of the rumored figures, I only want Cheeta. So that would just be easier to track down by herself than pay over $100 to get her and try to sell of the rest.

Wish I would have known, I would have offered a fellow freak a discount for sure. He is a terrific toy, but I didn't need him. So now he is gone. Soon thereafter I find out the Golden Age JSAers will get some DCUC love, but who will they fight now?

 

[Seditionary]

I really need to get a Grundy. But I don't have the money to go crazy for it right now.

is darkseid going to be bigger then the original that came out a while ago i have the first one..

 

[devlinboy]

i would like to publicly thank Incurable Collector for thinking of me. He was out at a local store and picked up a green arrow and black canary for me. Thanks a million..my fiance was probably going to kick my ass if couldnt get those 2 for the wedding cake. If i end up getting any of my cases i will offer up the extras here for cost (cause one good turn deserves another) thanks again to I.C for being a great boardmember.

Yes, he will be bigger.

 

[swiftlikessharpthings]

Thet's awesome, Dev! Congrats and I'm glad you were able to get them and better yet that I.C. was a stand-up guy.

That reissue of Power Girl might be correct. BBTS has her up for preorder as well along with the TRU Exclusive 2 packs from last year. There seems to be a new case out of 2 packs that will reissue the original 2 packs plus the Lex / Supergirl 2 pack. If you missed out on any of the 2 packs you can preorder them now.

 

[Buttmunch]

Hmmm... that does seem to be the case. Strange. I wonder how Wal-mart feels about PowerGirl being released again so early.

Oh well!


I hope that Mattel makes the Joker a re-release figure as well. Making one, if not THE, most popular DC villain an exclusive is crazy on Mattel's part.

 

[Buttmunch]

Yeah, that was THE stupidest move in the entire line. THE JOKER a Wal-mart EXCLUSIVE! I mean what the crap were they thinking? And why re-release Power Girl before him? Kids and casual collectors will pick up Joker for sure. Power Girl not so much.

 

[karamazov80]

Count me amongst those who wants a Joker and no Power Girl.

 

[The Mike]

I've already said I'm only getting the Lanterns (that is if I find Abin and Hal) but I want the Super Powers inspired Joker just for nostalgia's sake and the fact its a Wal-Mart exclusive really drives me nuts. My Wally World hasn't restocked anything since Wolverine: Origins from any line so I've committed to going to eBay for that one.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

This line is impossible to find, count me out guys I am done. And I just got my Aquaman too.

 

[karamazov80]

I was really on the verge of getting out myself. . .and then I saw that beautiful Dr. Mid Nite. . .and they pull me back in!

 

[Buttmunch]

This line is impossible to find, count me out guys I am done. And I just got my Aquaman too.

And that is why this line will die within a year unless Mattel steps up. People want this figures, but if they can't get them easily, many are going to bail out. Its just not worth the headache.

 

[karamazov80]

I posted this before, but I disagree. Too many OCD comic geeks who would walk over coals for these things. I don't think it won't die unless the quality, sculpting, or figure choices somehow go really awry. Eventually interest may fade and something better may come along, but not in a year I don't think.

Plus, the after-market prices aren't that bad, really, except for the Wal-Mart wave.

No problem Chris, glad I could help

You can count me as one of those "geeks."


I hate to say it but I love these figures too much to drop the line. Mattel as a company sucks. It's sad but it's true. I am guilty of paying outrageous prices for figures myself BUT I HAVE TO HAVE THEM. I've been asking for a DC line like this ever since Super Powers got canceled.

If Mattel raised the price to $20 a figure, like MOTUC, I'd still buy them.
