Dude, screw the 'one here' and 'one there' approach; ) how 'bout an outright Knightfall box set (with azrael) or year one? What about a death of superman set with doomsday?!?! boxed sets rock

That would be awesome! thanks!

Apparenty, It's designed for 3'' fisherprice DC figs (which come included), but by all accounts, in common sense, should be great for minimates. take a peak here http://forums.toynewsi.com/index.php?showtopic=2054584 You know that point you reach as a collector where you know the price they're asking for something you want is almost outrageous ($45.00 USD), but the cool factor of the 'thing' keeps eating at you and eating at you? I'm so there... maybe if I could see it in person I could decide.

Hey, thanks guys! : ) sorry for the delay in response (i'm sure you're just absolutely heartbroken) I originally posted this when I was at work and got mashed up pretty good in an accident on the way home. got out yesterday and saw batman aka the greatest film EVER See ya around I guess : )

Not much more than speculation on my part, (and I'm really just looking for any excuse to make my first post as I just got approved)but I used to be an assistant manager at walmart while I was doing the whole online degree thing, and a likely factor to the cancellation, and lack of minimate retail presence in general, that I've yet to see mentioned by anyone is out-right LCS/ National Retailer shelf space. When you factor in things like what you're actually pocketing per sale and start measuring those dollars against the sheer amount of space required to offer even a modest minimate selection...things can't look THAT good from a Storefront Retailers perspective can they? Especially when you, as a National retailer, could dedicate that same amount of shelf space, using almost the same amount of product, to say those Plug and Play TV Controllers with 20 games on them and pocket $6.50 per unit. LCS's are a bit different but would almost have to universally share the same principles at least on some level, right? Now granted, there's a gap in my logic about a mile wide, apples and oranges can't really be compared and the profit per unit logistics on superhero squad can't REALLY be that better than minimates... but I think DCD's on a relatively similar wavelength. From a business standpoint: I think they're trying to get everything they invest their resources into infront of as many people (and thusly retail chains) as possible, and minimates are just too sub-categorized an item to allow them to get a foot in the door. (they're block-based, superhero, collectables that are kid friendly and work with LEGO's...it's like trying to sell a black, female, pesidential candidate who's dad lives in afghan-land...there's just too many questions : ) Meanwhile, DCD's heads see these retarded Squad things from Marvel everytime they hit ANY toy dept and for whatever reason, a light went off. who knows...Maybe DCD is as broken down and 'bustedly' out of touch as didio. It's all greek to me, though. I thought the whole purpose BEHIND DC Direct was to provide this sort of thing to Collectors to begin with while they left the kid-friendly retail crap to people that...yaknow, bought the license from them for that sort of thing. If I was Mattel, I'd be screaming for a court date already. Anyway, HI Everybody.
