Sorry if this has been mentioned but I read the boards daily and have not seen this info... 1 - Where are people most finding this Wave? Going to do a toyrun this weekend and I am planning a course. 2 - WHo comes with what parts of the Nekron C&C? Do I need everyone? Can someone verify what figure comes with what part?
I appreciate it and again sorry of I missed it the first time around....

1. Haven't seen any posts of anyone finding them at retail, I think it's just the online stores right now and sellers who have accounts with Mattel.
2. Yes, you need all seven to build Nekron. Sorry I don't have the exact breakdown, but someone did post it in another thread.

I picked up Wave 20 from my LCS this week. The breakdown is:
1. Hawk (upper torso) 2. Dove (lower torso) 3. Red Arrow (left arm) 4. Green Arrow (right arm) 5. Sinestro (head) 6. White Lantern: The Flash (right leg) 7. Reverse Flash (left leg)
BTW Vinny, I get my DCUC at Midtown Comics at 40th St. and 7th Ave. The customer service there is really good, and the owner offers a 10% discount on pre-orders. I don't know how you pay for them in New Jersey, but I get them for $18 a figure at Midtown, which is cheaper than TRU and Target in NYC.

Just got my wave 20 from BBTS and here are the things that stand out the most to me.... Mattel can't seem to make white plastic or paint, and it's really pi@*ing me off!!! I can't recall Hawk and Dove having red and grey or blue and grey costumes in the comics. Sort it out Mattel, don't just say 'we'll pass that on to design' when we ask in the Q and A's, actually tell us why this has happened and what your doing to put it right for future figures. This problem carries over so that the White Lantern Flash is now the Grey Lantern Flash! Oh and just a thought.... when costing the wave, and it became clear that giving Nekron his scythe wouldn't cost out, how many of you guys would've preferred it if they had scrapped the double knee and elbow joints, gave him standard joints and used the saved tooling costs to give him his damn weapon?? Overall I like the wave, but I just don't see why they keep screwing up simple things that should be ironed out when the test shots come off the line. End of rant.

I only collect Batman characters so I'll be saving some major money with this wave.

I find myself wanting most of this wave, and I'm really excited for Hawk and Dove. I enjoyed the last JSA themed wave (still can't find the Atom to complete my STRIPE, grr). But things have been REALLY dead around these parts since Christmas, with stores resetting and all the clearance merchandise, I want some new DCUC toys!

I got Hawk and Dove from BBTS yesterday.
Dove is kinda meh, but I think they knocked it out of the park with Hawk.
I've decided to pass on Nekron, as I really don't want another Green Arrow or Flash and the lack of his weapon is annoying. Plus Red Arrow is on the borderline as I already have the YJ version.
Who wants the parts? PM me. I'd rather sell them in a single lot if possible.

Since I am trying to see everything in a "good light" today, The grey on Hawk and Dove can be seen as accurate ... since that is how Liefeld portrays their "new" costumes in the DCnU. Ok, doesn't really work for me either, but I had to try. And Grey Lantern Flash ... I got nothing for that one.

I Shipped my Loot from BBTS yesterday and it arrived today. BOSS. I only bought Sinestro for now. I now have the most awesome Sinestro Corp ever, but it comes at a time that I'm starting to loose interest in the Lantern stuff. He came with the Nekron head. I don't have any interest in building Nekron right now, but the sculpt on that head is SO METAL that I might just keep the head and hotglue it to the dashboard of my car and crank some Megadeth.  I picked up his daughter too, from DC Direct. Soranik is about the same height, maybe a hair taller.

I noticed a lot of people have been making this same complaint about the "white" Lantern Flash, so I decided to check it out for myself. Most of the pictures I can find the Flash figure is pretty close to how he is colored in the comics. As a matter of fact the rest of the lanterns are close to this color as well. Also isn't Hawk's costume now grey and red? as for Dove no excuse, she should be white.

But the real question is, Is that guy with the pouches that Hawk is holding up made of petrified wood?

He must be made of something other than human tissue, and he clearly has no human bones inside of him...
this single panel is yet more reason that I have no idea why, in all of creation, does Rob Liefeld still get imployed and touted as a "great talent" by industry leaders?
How much Backstage Con Blackmail is this guy holding over everyone's heads?
