Wave 16 (Bane) Thread

I can toss Riddler in a lineup, sure. He belongs there anyway.


BBTS had a Tuesday (25th) estimate, but best laid plans and all. They still say January so hopefully IAT will have some DCUC16 by next week or so. Gives me time to do the Guards though.

Just think of this Riddler as when he had injected himself w/Venom.

It's Legends of the Dark Knight all over again...

I found the entire wave at Target today including both versions of Robin. First time I've found an untouched wave of DCUC figs since like Series 3 (and first new figs I've seen since Validus wave in October). I didn't buy a single one. Not that they weren't good looking or there were some kind of flaw with them. They just didn't appeal to me. I think I may be done with DCUC.

Regardless, it's cool to hear about this wave being out at US retail.

Doh. I think all my DCUC16 reviews are going to be after everybody has 'em.

And stopping DCUC!? Blasphemy!

Though I hope to be "rewarded" for sticking through the Green Lantern avalanche. I want my Metal Men finished, dammit!

And stopping DCUC!? Blasphemy!

It happens, already happened to me two months ago. Got wave 14 and felt nothing. I was done without any mental fighting with myself.

I'm right there with ya Eb. I do want the Super Powers Robin and Mercury (the Metal Men were in the 2nd comic I ever bought) but at $15 a crack, I just couldn't justify any of it. I was there looking for new Transformers which are only $11.99 and 5 times the toy. With toy fair right around the corner, all the awesomeness the 4 Horsemen have announced, all the 3rd party Transformers announced, and the fact that I'm no where near being rich, I'm sort of budgeting for my toys for the year and DCUC is most definatly first on the chopping block. If I had picked up all 8 figures that would have been $135 at one drop for 2 figures I want, 6 I could care less about, and build a figure that looked hardly bigger than any of the others. Plus I'm sure with all the online communities I'm a part of I can get the 2 figures I want for around $20 or in a trade.

The thrill of the hunt was definatly there for me yesterday. But it was more a catch and release type situation.

Transformers

They were definitely part of my decision.

I keed I keed, I hear you guys. DC is as first love for me.

I agree that TFormers are great toys at a better price, but I balk much more easily standing in front of their 4ft of the toy section. I have a fair sized TF want list, but when I'm at the store looking at the price tag, I just don't want to pull the trigger.

With DC, I don't have that qualm. I happily forked over the $100+ when I found 14. I will admit that GLC2 and DCUC17 are testing my limits but I'm excited about the Anti-Monitor and Stel at least. I'm geared up for DCUC16 and will probably get a kick out of DCUC18 of the information on it pans out.

I know it's not rational, but I'd probably cancel my MOTU sub before stopping my DCUC collection.
