Hi guys I just wanted to say that I have just started collecting JLU. I got superman and doctor fate singles at target and joker, catwoman, and silver robin singles at family dollar. I also would like to know the packs that are the best for new guys like me.

Sorry to break this to you...
But if you see something JLU you don't have... GRAB IT!!!!!! and GRAB IT NOW!!!!!
Thats kinda been one of the rules of collecting JLU for a long time. If you see something on the shelf grab it. You never know if you will ever see it again.
The beautiful thing is mattel is constantly re-releasing past figures in the line. So you will still get a ton of characters. But this late in the game I hope your not a completionist.

In your case I would focus on the multi packs... and at this point, as DrGreen said snatch up what you can when you can. I would say definately track down an SDC Grundy.

Also an idea might be to check around for old JLU. Some CVS or biglots type places might still have some old stock. Amazon has a few things under super-shipper-savings that would still be reasonable, especially factoring in the latest price hike on the line.

Thanks for the help guys I went to CVS and found some old stuff. I also went back to target and they no longer had the booster gold they had last time I went. However they did have one kilowog, one sinestro, two superman,galatea,huntress 3 packs, and two green lantern,fire,ice 3packs. I will go back today and buy the remaining single carded figures. By the way what caused you guys to collect JLU mine was my love of The Dark Knight.

You would do good to snag some of those (especially the Brainiac J-Lords Bats and Supes set).
