hellpop Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 They've been spotted in Florida and North Carolina. I really, really desperately want this wave (three of my ten most wanted- Hourman, Zatanna, and Kamandi- plus my most wanted C&C) but I just have no desire to spend a week driving to Wal-Marts every other day before they show up. Looking for 15 (and not finding it) really left a sour taste in my mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellpop Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 hope to see them in california sometime in the next two weeks, I really just want kamandi and gold, I still of yet to see the gl pack Funny story about that GL pack... I was in a Wal-Mart a few months ago, right when that set was hitting, and I saw a case of them among the new shipment. I didn't really want to buy it, so I didn't ask for anyone to open it or anything, but I wanted to take a look at it and so a few days later I headed back there. And all I saw were the Gotham City pack. And that's still the only evidence I have that the GL pack was actually released. But you can get Guy Gardner for about $20 loose from China on eBay, and everyone else for less then that, so that's what I recommend.

pickle Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Hey guys, Umm, if anybody knows anyone selling a SDCC Plastic man in the package (package can be beat up), could you let me know. Thanks Also, tomorrow is my trip to the states and five Walmarts to track down wave 14, wish me luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickle Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 (edited) Double Post Action!!!!!!!!!! Well, after six Walmarts (the last having a full case of wave 13 on the pegs) I only found three. Also I only found them at the first two Walmarts I got Zatanna, Kamandi and Tyr. Only four more to go and I will try the first two Walmarts again this Friday. Oh, and I hate you Walmart... just sayin'. *EDIT* Holy crap, and my posts are almost 24 hours apart Edited November 15, 2010 by pickle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Well, you beat me: I went to five Wal-Marts, and found two, Kamandi and Alan Scott. One of which, GL, was on the floor under the shelf. Not the first time I've found a figure down there. But what's really cool is that, during my trek, I discovered that Target's running a DCUC sale for $7.49, and I was able to get Wal-Mart to match the price for my Kamandi. If I can get them to do that for the rest, I'm going to hold onto the GL receipt and hope to find another. GL's a very nice figure, but undone by the curious choice to sculpt him with his mouth open. I know he's supposed to be yelling, but it makes him look like a dullard. Everything else is top notch. And Kamandi... oh man Kamandi. One of my favorite character, from my favorite Jack Kirby book, and just impeccable. I really can't wait to find the rest, because this wave easily has my favorite character selection, including the C&C. By the way, pickle (and anyone else that may have found these), did you find them in regular or Super Wal-Marts? I ask because the two that had them were super, and the regulars were a bust. There was a rumor going around that only the supers were going to be getting these, which I don't think is true, but it's odd nonetheless.

pickle Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Yes, both were super Wal-marts..... hmmm..... curiouser and curiouser. I also found out that day that Target had the $7.49 sale and grabbed a classic Booster Gold. The price was right. I am gonna give it two more goes, this friday and next weekend to find the rest of 14, after that it is resort to begging time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SErge Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 so they might be showing up just at super walmarts? guess I know what I'm doing this friday, when I get paid. Also anyone else see this? http://www.toymania.com/toybuzz/messages/23155.shtml leaked wave 18 lineup: Supergirl Flash Captain Marvel Jr. Power Ring Dawnstar Blackhawk (with variant) wonder which flash it could be? totally excited to see dawnstar,but no metal men what the heck?

karamazov80 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Gotta be Golden Age Flash. I guess ol' Ultraman's value is gonna skyrocket now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I think the Ultraman/ Alex Luthor set is part of Matty Collector's upcoming sale. Might be a good time to pick that up. Blackhawk's a personal favorite of mine, so I'd be glad to get him, and Dawnstar will no doubt go quite nicely with the Legion figures. And GA Flash, right now, seems like the biggest remaining omission. What Supergirl, I wonder? More of a classic one? That could work.

karamazov80 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) Probably the new Supergirl who looks similar to the 70s/80s one. FYI, GL 5 pack is available on Wal-Mart.com Edited November 18, 2010 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonpr Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 I'd buy the more modern Crime syndicate but no the goofy looking original versions. The Flash would have to be either Jay or Wally, and I'd buy both. I hope Supergirl is a classic version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Apparently the 4H's Cornboy confirmed this is NOT Wave 18. Which means it's prolly 19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickle Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Got the rest of wave 14 today woot woot. Found a case and a half worth of 14 at the Fort Drum Wal-Mart in NY state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I went back to one of the Wal-Mart's I'd found them on Tuesday... and found everyone save Hourman. Unfortunately, they wouldn't match the Target price, so I just picked up Zatanna. I've a suspicion that Wal-Mart's going to have a sale on these in the not-too distant future, so I recommend holding on to your receipts, fellas.

SErge Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 went hunting yesterday, and found nothing, three walmarts, two which where super walmarts, and none of them had dc universe. I really just want gold, and I really don't want to resort to ebay. hope they show up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickle Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Found myself the exclusive TRU Green Lantern figure on the weekend. It is a nice. Also picked up the regular Martian Manhunter, OMAC and the TRU Luthor / Skeletor 2-pack. Nice weekend for DCUC I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SErge Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 got gold on ebay, for a pretty good price basically the same price as Iron, great figure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I thought I'd chime in that I found all of this wave except for one Obsidian in Indiana. Of course, I don't collect the line so I didn't pick them up, but it was nice to see them considering my Wal-Mart just put out more Blue Devils and Blue Beetles before Black Friday.

karamazov80 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) Lucky. BR has been a hoarder/scalpers haven for these kinds of toys for years now. If I ever ran across a good GI Joe or DC figure, it was by persistence (which I don't have the luxury of exercising anymore) or blind luck. I'll have to go to eBay to get my JSA fix.

HotstufflouieB Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 Dear god I want like 30 figures that I've missed. God I hate how my area always has the ones I don't want. I'm trying to do the Justice League but I want the JSA, Metal Men, and Teen Titans. There are just too many!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsomedevil Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I haven't bought a DCUC in forever, but couldn't pass up Raven, Sinestro Corps Batman and Martian Manhunter for $7.50 a piece last week. Are there two versions of Martian Manhunter? There were two there with the conehead and an axe hand. The back of the box looks like a normal head and hand...

HotstufflouieB Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 So I'm bidding on a few loose ones on Ebay and I found the Gentleman Ghost/Hawkgirl at a Walmart in my area. I'm trying to get some of these things again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
