Still waiting for the latest wave to show up at Target, but I was able to order a Legion of Super Heroes set at MattyCollector.com.

I was a little concerned because it took about 10 minutes to logon, as the site was inundated with Masters of the Universe fans trying to get their latest figure. I understand the MOTU figures sell out pretty quickly. If you're a MOTU fan, good luck!

Ham, that was a great deal. I paid $335 for Batman, including shipping and insurance. I think I picked up Hourman for around $60.

I wish I could open him, but I don't have any room to display him. When I moved to New York, I had to choose between displaying my toys and having a bed. And can I just say, it was a tough decision.

So after putting all my loose Muppets and WOS figures into storage, I realized that it's much easier to store MIP figs than loose ones, so Bats will eventually go into a big plastic container with his boxed 10'' teammates. But not before spending a few days perched on my desk so I can gaze at him.

BTW, how long ago did you join AFI? I tried to sign up a few weeks ago, but I never got a confirmation. Do you like it over there? I've visited some boards where the members always snipe at each other, which is why I keep coming back to SCS. We may have lost a lot of members since WOS died, but at least we're civil to the ones we have left.

Nice! And it looks like we'll be getting more Secret Society members, like Dr. Polaris, Tala and Devil Ray. The villains will come in the six-packs again, right?

But I think Mattel could have picked a better-known team than the Doom Patrol. The sculpts are great (check out the hands on Negative Man), but mattycollector.com is having a hard time getting rid of the Gotham City Criminals set. If they can't sell Scarecrow and Harley Quinn, how are they gonna sell Robot Man and Elasti-Girl?

I think it would have made more sense to have a Batman set (Robin, Nightwing, Alfred and Catwoman), a Teen Titans set (Cyborg, Raven, Starfire and Beast Boy), or Superman's enemies (Metallo, Mongul, Cyborg Superman and General Zod) or even Superman's friends (Lois, Jimmy, Clark and Perry).

IMO, Mattel needs to generate more excitement in the line with characters that are more popular for casual collectors. I'm a die hard, and I'm gonna get everything they put out, but not every collector feels the same way.

That makes sense; most collectors would already have Harley and Bane, at least, from the BTAS line. I just thought they could have picked a set that was a little more relevant than the Doom Patrol. But we got LOSH and we are getting Shazam, so I'm happy with that.

On another note, new packaging for Green Lantern! Link
