The 10" line is esentially cancelled. Lords Batman and Hourman are basically the last and have / are only seeing very limited release and primarily overeas. What does reach the US has nowhere to go since no retailors continue to carry the line. Ebay and the like will be the best bet of catching one. I recommend keeping an eye at flea markets, kmarts and discount type stores and overstock stores such as big lots over time. Thats where they will likely show up if at all. : (

Still looking for the latest three packs and singles that have been hitting other states, and still waiting for my SDCC Giganta. My mother in law though found me this JLU candy: Havnt opened it to see the stickers.

Of course, in Miami...we are bone dry of anything new. It's getting really frustrating...more so I've written Target about the lack of merchandise on our shelves...and they sent a typical "Thanks for your comments" letter.
Oh well...its off to spend 50 bucks on one new JLU figure (the other 2 in the 3 pack are repeats)
I think we as Legion members, should pick up some for our fellow members, and charge retail of course, plus whatever shipping would be.

Not long ago, I found the Apokalyps 6-pack. 4 figures I didn't already own for $20, not too bad. This weekend, after months of empty pegs, JLU 3-packs were restocked. There were three sets each of 2 different packs: Superman, Huntress, and Galatea; Green Lantern, Supergirl, and Captain Atom. $10 each, so I dropped another $20, but this time, I only got two figures I didn't already own. Not as 'not too bad'.
Actually, the Huntress figure replaced the one in my display, because I like the cape and paint job better. Captain Atom looks fine, and he's taken a prominent place in the display.The Superman figure has no elbow or knee articulation, and his legs are bent at an odd angle, so into the extras box he went. Supergirl looks exactly the same as previous releases, but she has a foot-peg-hole. So she's in the display, freeing up a tiny stand for someone else to use.
Something odd: Green Lantern also has no elbow or knee articulation. The paint on his ring looks a lot brighter than any other GL I have right now, but he's also suffering from the bent-leg issue of the Superman. But what really puzzles me is the head. The pics on the card back clearly show the JLU version (facial hair, shaved scalp). But the figure I got (and the other two at the store) are the JL version: scalp hair, shaved face. What's up with that? Has anyone else found this JL Season Two throwback mixed into a JLU Season One 3-pack?
Finally, Galatea is simply awful. The figure itself is the standard female body we've come to expect, including legs that are a little warped, preventing her from standing nicely. I can live with that. But the paint job on the eyes is absolutely horrid. I looked at all three sets the store had and choose the one that looked the least terrible, but she still looks like she's crossing her eyes. So her place is a lot less prominent in my villain display.
My question is, did my Target (in Ft Dodge, Iowa) just get three awful figures, or are people in other parts of the world finding the same issue with Galatea as well? And which Green Lantern are you finding with Captain Atom?
Already have Fire and Ice, so I'll pass on that 3-pack, but eagerly awaiting the arrival of The Question. At least I know they can't botch his eyes!

Today at the Palisades Center Target I saw the Captain Atom 3-Pack along with the Fire/Ice/GL set...But I didn't need them. And as I was getting ready to leave the aisle I just happened to look up and see the Question set on top of the aisle. Good thing I'm tall or I'd have missed that. And here's my most updated JL/JLU setup -

Woo hoo... my wife picked up the Question pack for me this afternoon. Brings me up to date for now. Question is clearly a bit too tall (as expected really), but he looks great and fits fine.

The Target in Greenville,SC had the Question set also. The crazy thing is that it was on top of the aisle too. I started to walk away then I turned around and for some reason looked up and saw something sitting on the top. Today at the Palisades Center Target I saw the Captain Atom 3-Pack along with the Fire/Ice/GL set...But I didn't need them.

Well went to target the other day. Saw that they had increased the price of JLU 3packs. Went from $10 to $13. Angers me much. Glad I only want 1 of the announced upcoming 3packs.

I recently picked up a Stargirl on a trip to Austin. Nearly bought a Kilowog because I felt sad for the figure. The same target had 13 on the shelves.

Many Targets have been putting these out on the shelves at clearance prices... I assume accidentally.

I hit Target this morning looking for the new 3-Packs, but there was nothing except the Question set on the pegs so I check the scanner and it showed there was nothing in the stockroom. While I was there there was about 10 empolyees restocking the toy aisles and one asked if they could help me. So I said no I had checked and they didn't have it in stock so we started talking for a few minutes about my collection. And as I was about to leave the aisle I see the new Batman B&tB Batcycle set so I picked that up and went to check the other aisles for my daughter's Littlest Petshops. While I'm looking around I start thinking maybe I should hold off on the batcycle so I went back to the aisle to put it back when another employee walks into the aisle with a case of the JLU 3-Packs! So I finally got them! but they are $16 a pop now! ouch! Bruce Wayne - Batman Beyond - Warhawk -

Thanks for the great pics, as always PJ! Wow, $16 a piece, huh? I want these ones pretty badly, so I'll probably plop the money down.
Congrats on obtaining them. I hope to do the same soon!

Hi PJ, Congrats on Jlu finds. I've been running around NJ trying to find them. Any chance you could tell which Target? Or if it was it a NJ or NY one? I know I'm a new registrant so I understand if you don't want to mention the store. Hopefully I can post when I find them.
