Strangely, my local Target has started to carry DCSH again after dropping the line with wave 1. Does this sort of thing happen often? I guess I can't complain, though, because I managed to get a variant Supes with black and red S shield.

I found a couple The Batman Robins (kmart) and the Batman Scarecrow "Fear collection" set (Spencer gifts I cant remember how much it was but it was too much)

I picked up the Monogram JLU Batman and Joker bust paperweights at Suncoast for $2.50 each! They are going out of business and all merchandise was %75 off.
Also, on a side note, I was at 2 local Wal Marts and neither of them are carrying The Batman, JLU, or Superman. They do have empty pegs for DCSH, but neither of them had stock. I asked a budy of mine who works at a Super WalMart about an hour away and he said that they are not carrying those toy lines anymore. (?) Why?

Why?I haven't seen any new JLU or DCSH at Walmart in some time. As for the Batman, I found the recent Shadowtek wave at a Walmart about 20 miles away. All they had left were variants though.

I know alot of people have found him already, but I picked up a DCSH Lex Luthor tonight at a Super Target. That thing is awesome and only the second time I ever seen him.
Also, an odd item, they had a Batman hamster house.

I tell you, the stores around me...SUCK. I went to Target and two Walmarts...nothing new in the way of figures. At Target, the only JLU I found there were (and I'm not even kidding on the numbers here folks), 8 single carded Superman, 2 purple carded Zatanna, Shining Knight 3 packs, and 6 WW, Bats, Supes 3 packs. As for Shadowtek, they had all of the vehicles and deluxe figs. As for regular figs, they were all still from the EXP series. Sigh, no Metalhead among them though. As for Walmart, one store had DCSH figs, but they were all wave 3 Supermans. As for Shadowtek, all variant figs and even then they weren't on pegs, but up on the top of a shelf with the rest of the overstock. Sigh, sorry for the rant folks. It's just so frustrating to collect these lines anymore. Finding the figures no matter what the series used to be a snap. I don't know what's going on, but for the last 6 months or so it's as if the well had dried up. I did manage to find a couple of things though, mainly the Batman HW 2 packs, as well as some JL figurines that are for pool use.

That sucks, Bullock. I kno what you mean tho, the Wal Marts in my area, and I mean ALL of them, no longer carry DC lines. Target, TRUs, and Kmart are the only ones who get anything, and they are speratic at stocking.

[shadow=green,left,300] I finally got a hold of a Robin and Killer Croc, I saw a Killer Moth but didn't get it. I really wanted a Riddler Hot Wheels car but didn't find one. I looked in all the sections but came out with no car. [/shadow]

I had quite the haul this past weekend. I hit TRU, which never has anything, and lo and behold there were Robin & Killer Moth! So of course I quickly snatched them up.
Visited a flea market in Kansas, and picked up a MOC BTAS Bane for $4, and two Kurt Adler Batman christmas ornaments for $2 each!

I've had no luck finding anything new figures since the "The Batman" Shadow Tek just after Christmas. No purple carded JLU (except a 3-Pack)...no Purple carded DCSH (Except the 2 Superman figures & Bizarro) But I did find this at Stop & Shop the other day... PJ

Today my Father-in-Law hooked me up with the Steel and Parasite figures. I had asked him the next time the guy comes in to his store and restocks the toy pegs to ask him to keep a look out for these and the Hot Wheels Barris Batmobile. The Stop & Shop here splits the toy cases between a few stores in the district. Anyway today he came home with these for me. I didn't actually think he was listening when I said what I was looking for. Anyway you can see more pics here - www.pointsofarticulation.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2211PJ

I went to Wal Mart today to get some paint and, big suprise, nothing in the toy department.
However, most people dont know this, Im a big Hulk Hogan fan. My favorite time was his fued with Sting (my favorite wrestler), so I always liked "Hollywood" Hogan. Anyway, I found this right in front of all the other wrestling figs. They had just restocked that section. I love this!

TRU has a WM 23 2-Pack with Hogan & Randy Orton. PJ I saw that, but I dont like Hogans face. Ive seen almost all the Hogan figs, but the face is what always turns me away. Either it looks really drawn, or the eyes are painted cross. I do want to get that new Fury statue fig they have. Stupid me passed on it and then went back the next day to pick it up, all sold out.

Came across Steel tonight at TRUs, he is a very cool fig. Pics dont do it justice.
Also, a couple days ago I grabbed the "lava colored" repaint of Doomsday and he is loose as heck. Anyone else experience this with any od the DCSH figs? I havent really bought any lately aside from the Supes figs.

Today I finally found a DCSH figure that wasn't Superman or Bizarro...I was on a mission today to try and find the new DCSH so we hit the Monroe, Middletown and Newburgh Wal-Marts today. Newburgh and Monroe had nothing except the Superman (Reg & black & Red "S" symbols) and regular Bizarro figures. But the Middletown store had 1 Kal-El figure with a small smudge on his symbol. But seeing it was the first time I personally seen a purple carded figure other than Supes or Bizarro I bought it anyway. Now I just need the blue costume Supergirl, Mongul and the Darkseid & Bizarro repaints. If anyone is interested posted a bunch of pics here - www.pointsofarticulation.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=14110#14110PJ

I found a bunch of theses the other day. I must admit the repainted Darkseid and Bizaro look really cool (too bad I already have them cause I think prefer the newer). Mongul is/was suprisingly cool enough I decided I wanted him. I had no interest in Kal.
