Yes its been out at my TRU's for at least that long... and it retails for at least $20+ Its kinda nifty but not worth the $ to me. Its a small portable (fold up two piece) batcave playset. Comes with a generic Batman figure and looks like a large "power key" (just smaller than a shoe box approx).

TRU stands for the store "Toys R' Us". Did they do an exp Manbat? Ive seen plenty exp penguins though. the only hard to find The Batman merchandise ever in my area was regular Batgirl and Temblor (batgirl more so... only ever saw a total of five?) .

i never did see the regular batgirl in the store i got mine on eBay for 5 dollars (shipping included) i got lucky, was like the 20th try to win her before i got her that cheap ok now i know TRU is toys r us, how embarassing lol i see temblors everywhere typical wal mart or target has 3 of him every time around here yes they re put out man bat for exp, not in the exact same wave as penguin, but one before perhaps... same wave as crazy cut up joker?

The only Manbat fig ever made for The Batman was in wave 2, there is no Manbat in EXP packaging.

i could've sworn i read at these forums that man bat was being re released, it must be for shadowtek i dunno...it amazes me that i've read more than 2 people at these forums say they found the new robin and charaxis already at walgreens or "the pharmacy" around here...walgreen and pharmacy type stores still have sonic stun batgirl, batman begins figures, or smaller BTNAS style figures...real old...NO one around here seems to buy the toys there here... i fear it will take a long time to find charaxis...somehow i found metal head at the grocery store by luck...i never saw penguin and i went to over 15 different stores...i have seen only the new deluxe shadowtek figures (not robin tho of course) i did finally see the power key playset today actually i went to my local 'TRU' (lol) and there it was, 21.98 my god how little it was... then i saw poisin ivy, lester, and catwoman and i drooled DAMN YOU FOR NOT BEING RELEASED IN SINGLES!!!! (i still have false hopes that they will one day be released as such...)
i didnt see the 42 inch batcave although i saw it for 24.99 (cheap if u ask me) at kb toys... meanwhile kb toys had the batman for 8.99 kroger has them 7.99 wal mart 6.99 i saw azrael and the batgirl 2 pack!!!!!!!!! but i had no $ for them =( never saw crazy joker or either batgirl i saw freeze variant, not clayface could've sworn i also read there will be a bane in exp (but obviously it isnt gonna happen now)

In regards to Manbat, you might be thinking of when he was originally planned to be part of the new TRU six-pack?. Initially a "flocked" wing variant of him was supposed to be part of that set but obviously the plan changed. As for the TRU exclusive six pack with Wesker and Ivy, I assume you know but if not, to save money you can try Target and get one three pack at a time? All I can say is for everything, just be patient buddy, I'm sure probably everything youre after will find it's way to you. I'm sure many havnt even had the luck you have with some things... like DCSH Azrael. Maybe consider (when possible) buying such lucky finds and trading with folks here for what you really want? As with everything else in life, youre only limited by your imagination and personal motivation Keep your chin up.

well its just that $10 for a figure is a little much i really do want the azrael figure, first time i saw one, and it was in front of all these superman and bizarros usually on ebay i get MOC figures for $3 shipped or less sure, there are exceptions i think i paid $7 for the BTAS clayface usually i win a bunch of figures from a user for 2-3 dollars i recently got a creeper for $5 shipped (more than my average, but i figured he's a villian or what not that i dont have!) i paid 7.99 at the store for metal head for the same reason (kind of regret not buying azrael...but oh well) i find most things come on eBay if you are patient enough for cheaper than retail...to a point
still drooling over catwoman/poisin ivy/lesker i saw the other day i went to 2 targets, and to toys r us and neither has the 3 packs (wasnt sure if it was at tru or target) target had the exclusive 2 packs with bane and penguin (which they've had forever) tempting to buy penguin, but i will wait to see if i find the EXP one (also want joker!) i need man-bat and penguin...at the comic con thing they said man bat would be re released it will probobly be in shadowtek packaging so i need the penguin in EXP packaging if i plan to aquire one at all...

Wish I could of got to this post sooner. I picked one up for my son over christmas and it is a piece of junk! I guess it wouldn't be bad if you just set it up and looked at it, but as for playability, it blows. Suffers from the same problems of the big Batcave (which I also have). All those small tubes that hold everything together don't hold very long. The top level keeps falling off, the chute is worthless, as well as the batrope. Really all it's good for is holding one Batman. I was very dissapointed. There's better ways to spend your BatMoney.
