Best of all, most everything was only a couple of bucks each. I think the Catwoman bust/bank was about $3US. They had probably a hundred of those collecting dust.

In the Netherland we need to pay a minimum of 10 time's as much if we want someting. and then the question is where to find it.

I bought the TRU exclusive JLU 7pack tonight. Just a great looking and fun addition to the JLU collection and display. For a buck I also got a cute little JLU smarties candy dispenser.

Bought the repainted Doomsday Target exclusive tonight at Target. These repaints are actually fun.

I got my Blue Devil in the mail today. Its actually a miracle I got him. I was searching amazon like I always do seeing if something had popped up or went down in price. Got to Blue Devil and saw someone selling him for $5.49 + $5 shipping. After a few minutes of rationalization I bought it. My thinking. This is a very hard figure to find, so paying double especially since its shipping would be ok. Also it was the price of a 3pack, and if I had waited for a 3pack it would have just had more Batman and Superman figures I didn't want. Plus wouldn't have come with his trident. Also, with the way distribution is now-a-days, there was no guarantee that I would have even found him. That was my thinking and now I have him. Ill probably keep him in the package for a few days just so I can bask in the fact that I have him. One less thing on the list of impossible things to find.

I had to break down and do the same thing Doc. Shame. Especially since I didnt get half the deal you did. No one is a bigger JLU fan than me, but if the distribution of the lien doesnt improve, I think at this point I would rather see it end.

Well, I dont collect any of the JL stuff. I have been looking for the Joker tho. I dont think Im gonna get it, or the Red Hood figure. Not one of my area stores, and Im talking a 50 mile radius, has received in any new JL toys in months. Every store has nothing but Superman and Batman on the pegs along with the GL, Zatanna, and big 3 three packs.

The Joker is a great new head sculpt though. I wish he couldve gotten a new body too. Crappy as things have become, Im with JLU till the bitter end.

I finally found (and bought) the 6-pack with Grod, Red Hood-Joker, and Luthor at a Target in rural Iowa. It's the first time there have been any new figures at Target for some time. Still hunting for the Martian Manhunter metal mini-figure. I can live without the minis of other, more minor characters (though I did pick up Aquaman and Dr Fate some time ago), but I'd really like to complete the Big Seven collection. And would it kill them to issue a repaint of Green Lantern? Geez!
Still, I'm happy with whatever crumbs Target scatters for me these days. I'll keep buying JLU figures until they stop making them, even if I don't manage to collect 'em all.

Finally got Grodd myself. The articulation is pretty wasted on him huh?. A great figure but why sacrifice sculpt for articulation that doesnt work? And what is the point with this Luthor!? we need not one but two new pointless Luther repaints when an easier, more desired and show accurate paint ap is neglected? Bugs the heck outa me.
Wish I had known you wee looking for a die cast Manhunter Batwolf... I'll keep my eyes out now. Curious what you mean by mattel reissuing a Green Lantern repaint?

Stangely, Mervyns near me received pegs full of Single Shades, Huntresses and Blue Devils. Thats it other than some old singles and stale 3pks.

I was stuck in Walmart tonight... kinda sad, I counted at least eleven nearly full dedicated pegs for TMNT figs and a whole TWO pegs for The Batman (1w/approx 3figs and 1 w/ 1fig). Naturally no DCUC or JLU in sight. Tons of shelf warming "Legendary Comicbook Heroes" (LOL) and all but no SF. They also had the usual bulk stagnating remains of recent ML figs. hahaha

Wish I had known you wee looking for a die cast Manhunter Batwolf... I'll keep my eyes out now. Curious what you mean by mattel reissuing a Green Lantern repaint? My set is still in the box, at least until Christmas morning (my mum can no longer go shopping herself, so I buy whatever I want, then give it to her to wrap for under the tree. I know, we're a weird family), so I don't know about the articulation. I don't mind the Luthor repaint, since the colors are less glaring than the last repaint. The die cast Green Lanterns, at least at my local target, are all clean-shaven face, hair on head versions. It wouldn't take too much to 'paint' the head bald and add a goatee, to make him JLU. My own is currently trapped in a glass case I can't open, so I can't get a good look at it. Not sure how deformed his head would look, with the hair painted the same color as his skin. I'd like a Hawkgirl too, but that would involve a completely different sculpt. But I figured a different paint on GL wouldn't be nearly as much work on Mattel's part. They've had no problem issuing tons of repaints of the standard figures.

Went to my target tonight and... MAN!!!!!!!
They had restocked on everything DC. New JLU, picked up Mr. Miracle. Can't remember the last time I picked up new JLU from there. Plus a new thing of singles. No Grodd though. Honestly surprised at that. Its a Target exclusive and you'd think they'd be horing that out like they did the Doomsday pack.
Really glad I went to Target, DrGreenEvil

I had to resort to Amazon.com to do it (thanks to a gift card from my brother), but I've finally gotten my hands on the Justice Lords Hawkgirl, The Ray, and Sheyara Hol figures. If either of these sets were ever in my neck of the woods, I never saw them. There's still tons of figures I haven't found, but getting those two Hawkgirl figures has been driving me nuts for some time. At last, I have all seven Justice Lords, as well as the Big Seven from seasons 3 & 4. If I were to never get my hands on another JL figure, I'd survive (now). I wouldn't pass up a diecast Manhunter though.
On a side note, I almost blew the whole gift card on a Solomon Grundy figure, but decided in the end to hold out a while longer. It can't stay at $60 forever, can it?
Edit to ask: About the Justice Lords Superman and Batman, which came with the Hawkgirl, what's up with the odd little paint spatters? They look deliberate, not some sort of painting error. Are they supposed to represent the "Brainiac gizmos" from the last episodes? The robotic dopplegangers? Or just some random weirdness someone at Mattel thought would make kids anxious to own these 'varients' (as if having Hawkgirl wasn't incentive enough to buy the three-pack)?

I found the three-pack with Green Lantern, Fire, and Ice today at the local Target. They also had the three-pack with Justice Lords Hawkgirl. Wouldn't ya know it? I break down and buy it through Amazon, and only then do I see it in a store. Ah well. Meanwhile, they haven't restocked the Batman in over a month.

I've given up completely buying stuff at stores. I use Ebay or the other bigger sites. There is no use in going to see a store full of TMNT and Transformers items or those god awful Marvel tiny heroes or whatever they are called.
Target and Walmart need to get on the ball with Mattel. There is never any of thier products on the shelves (Here in Miami). It stinks.

I got my Fire and Ice today at a TRU my family visited. Could of also gotten a Blue Devil single, but I already had him. But just seeing him in an actual store was nice.
Now I have 40 members of the JLU. Now all I need is Obsidian and Sand to have all 42. DrGreenEvil

Yesterday, I found a Blue Devil single at my local Target (Ft Dodge, Iowa), along with a couple Huntress singles. I got the Devil, but passed on Huntress, since I already have her. I don't really need another, just because she comes with a crossbow. However, these are the first new figures I've seen in this area since, what, February? And no Dark Knight figures at Target. Wake up, Target! Your failure to restock Justice League figures for me means that I'm spending my hard-earned cash elsewhere. If this continues, I may have to start spending money at Wal-Mart again.

Well, pretty soon you won't be able to buy JLU figures anywhere other than Target, as they become the exclusive seller of the figs this summer.

Target's been the de-facto exclusive seller of all things DC in my area for quite a while. I wouldn't mind so much if they'd restock more often, but as it stands now, it's really annoying. Everything else seems to restock. Star Wars always has new figures and vehicles. Ben-10 and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (a show that hasn't been on the air in how many decades?) restocks frequently. Heck, the Indiana Jones figures just showed up two weeks ago, and even those were stocked with new (different) figures this weekend. It's a conspiracy, I tell ya!

I feel your pain, my friend. My local Target has only just now (two days ago) put out any TDK stuff. In my eyes, they are the worst at restocking ANYTHING in the toy aisle.
