Has anyone picked up Black Lightning and Major Force yet? I've checked on 6 Targets in my area and everyone of them had the cases, but they only had Superman, Batman, Silver Banshee, and Icicle. Maybe the other 2 guys are getting released later?!

Yes, from what I have read there are two waves or case assortments and those two figures are in the later wave/case.

So I've given up (for the moment, at least) on trying to find wave 10. With my birthday coming up tomorrow, a choice lies before me: do I pick up Minty Fresh Aquaman and Kid Flash (who I don't really want) to complete my Atom Smasher (Al rocks), or scour ebay and amazon for earlier figures like Orion, Red Tornado, and Etrigan?

Any advice from my fellows here?

If i was you, i would not buy orion. :chew

Thanks, I'm going to stop wasting my time running around town to find the last 2 figures then.

They're part of wave 2 along with the blue/grey Batman and meatllic Superman repaints. They're scheduled to start shipping in about 5 to 6 weeks.

Good to know. I'll keep my eyes open in a month or so.

Is Orion a bad figure or something?

Anyhoo, managed to snag a blue Wildcat with extra-bubbly Chemo torso, so I have that, his right arm and lower torso if anyone's interested. I could use a right Atom Smasher arm.

Orion is actually not a bad looking figure. The Wave 1 figures have some of the most originally sculpts in the whole series, though most of them are not amongst my favorites.

Just wanna give a HUGE public 'thank you' shout out to Devlinboy for the unassuming little box I received today containing the two-pack version of Orion! He is an extremely awesome guy. Thanks, Devlin!

EDIT: And btw, Orion is awesome. Settles in nicely next to Mr. Miracle and Barda!

 

[Seditionary]

Haha. whoa. thats awesome. really nice gesture.

i am glad you like the figure and didnt go out and buy one b4 the mail got to you. Orion is actually one of my favorites in the line, it is a fantastic sculpt and reminds me very much of the kirby art it was inspired by. Happy Bday

Thanks again!!!

 

[devlinboy]

Thanks again!!!

anytime man! i am an action figure collector at heart so anything i can do to help people stick with the figure hobby. Especially when people have a hard time finding stuff, if i have an extra might as well spread the wealth

Noticed that the price of Joker on eBay has dropped to the low $40s on average. Probably gonna keep dropping.

I'm glad to see the prices on Joker are dropping it means I will be able to obtain one for a reasonable price.

 

[Seditionary]

Yeah I hope to get one of those also. I also saw that at the local comic store today they had the batman clayface two pack for 19.99. I'll probably pick that up and use batman for some sort of fodder eventually. That sure beats the price of ordering it online.

They also had tim drake robins at 12.99. That's probably next on my list.

It'll be a while before I can get my hands on a joker and a 5 pack catwoman.

 

[devlinboy]

i need to track down a black and grey bats one of these days. i am lazy with batman figures, cause they make soooo many variants of him. i also need a 5 pack luthor.

also, if anyone has a forager and does not think they will need the BaF piece that came with him...i need that too
wave 10 is elusive 4 me so far

Joker is packed 2 to a case so I think eventually the price will drop.


Also, if you don't care about the CNC piece, wait. Joker will be by the first villain re-release.

If you like the Gotham 5 Batman, he will be released with wave 11.

I recommend the Batman that came out with the last DCSH wave before DCUC started. It's hard to find and is expensive but IMO it's the best Batman.

anyone kind enough to help me hook up a wave 10 set?

Here's some of my latest additions to my DCU collection:

Does anyone else have a Superman with a face that is much darker than the neck and hands?
