My first stop has always been my LCS, which gives me a discount on everything but trading cards and snacks. So I get good value there. Failing that, I go wherever I can find what I need, be it ebay, stuckakid, Target, TRU... anywhere so long as it isn't Wal-Mart.

Yeah, they're probably not going to happen anytime soon, since DCD has so much ground they still haven't covered just yet even with these three excellent waves we're getting this year. But if they decided to do them, what do you think they should be made up of?

Here's a trio of waves to kick-start this...

The Flash

Flash (Wally)/Gorilla Grodd

Flash (Jay)/Vandall Savage

Kid Flash (Bart)/Captain Boomerang II

Captain Cold/Trickster I

Justice Society

Mr. Terrific/Roulette

Sand/Icicle II

Green Lantern (Alan)/Solomon Grundy

Stargirl/Atom Smasher

Teen Titans

Cyborg/Psimon

Starfire/Jinx

Raven/Beast Boy

Donna Troy (Perez NTT #1 outfit)/Speedy (Roy in classic outfit)

Alright, your turn, folks!

I have to agree with this as well. These two waves need to hit big in terms of sales... but that having been said, the future waves after 12 & 13 need to be a hit in terms of quality, charascter selection, and new parts, or else DCD is going to seriously steal DST's thunder. And consdering how hot these things came out the gates, up to the waves with the Fantastic Four and Lady Deathstrike, it would be a shame to see the original 2" mega-mini line go by the wayside.

I'm excited for the new Colossus (since I don't have the previous one), Sentry, Beast, Ronin, Shadowcat... but there is so much more Marvel dying to be mini'd. Just the X-Men characters I can think of alone (Angel, Psylocke, Gambit, Jubilee, Banshee, Toad, Pyro, Callisto, "modern" Storm, Mr Sinister, Cannonball, Deadpool, and that's just off the top of my head) could support the next five waves and still have interesting characters to go.

Speaking strictly in terms of Marvel, yes, Spidey's got the best villains. In terms of both Big 2 companies... well, that I'd have to think about.

Anyhow, Wave 14 I'm hoping and praying is where we get those classic Avengers we've been dying for. DST has done it's bit for the mass market retailers, now how about something for us fanatics?? My ideal line-up...

She-Hulk/Titania

Scarlet Witch/Vision

Hawkeye/Baron Zemo

Hawkeye/Citizen V varient

Of the ones we know are coming? Definately Ted Kord, the brother of BWA-HAHAHAHA!!! Though, don't get me wrong, I love the new Blue Beetle, too. But Ted's still my favorite.

Of the ones we could potentially get? Any, and I do mean ANY Flash Rogues!

I bet we'll see the next wave around April '07. Now, don't quote me on that, it's just a feeling I have. DCD aren't fools, and after three fast and furious waves of minis, our wallets will likely need a break. Similarly, I could be wrong, but I bet that could be the wave where we get some folks we've already seen in C3, like Martian Manhunter, Riddler, Catwoman and Nightwing.

If there is any legitimate chance that this line is in danger, I really hope we hear something from Chuck or someone soon. Because if this just goes down to only two waves, then it will look woefully incomplete. Having Street Fighter without the remaining members of the original eight (Dhalsim and E. Honda), let alone doing it without Sagat, it's just seems wrong.

Has DST considered looking into new partners like Gamestop? Putting these into video game stores just seems such a natural, and some Gamestops do carry toys and collectibles.
