Target is where I will probably get these because it has better prices and because my Target card gives me an extra 5% off. I might just get them on Amazon though since it's tax free.

Oh, what will those wacky guys from Mattel's "DC retail team" think of next?

The Batman/Robin wall-climbing 2-pack is in stock at BBTS. They just added it to my Pile of Loot. I wonder if that means the rest are soon to arrive!

1- Thanks, Cap! Bad news, though. Did a little research... looks like the price did go up. Which is bad news, on account that I have seen their Brick & Mortar stores markup items a few dollars above their online price.

2- Joel... this line is scheduled for the August reset. Amazon has the 2-pack coming out on 8/1/13, the Riddler wave on 8/15/13, and the Joker wave on 8/30/13. The Batmobile is a TRU exclusive, and well... it's scheduled for July 15-18, but some Toys R' Us stores are better at restocking than others. The good thing is... once it hits their inventory system, it should be fairly easy to track using the product id numbers.

Target.com has the Batmobile online for $49.99 now. It says sold online and in stores, but the individual figures say sold online only. Go figure, but it looks like the SRP is supposed to be $50. .

Well, the Target listing says it's not currently available online, and checking the online store inventory says it's not available in stores yet. Just a matter of time.

Just didn't want anyone to get their hopes up and try to order yet.

The Batmobile is now available on TRU's site: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.js ... d=20500956

Went ahead and ordered mine this morning. I know it's more expensive than what's listed on Target's site, but...I have no patience.

Thanks! Just ordered it too.

Ha! No kidding! Though my thinking is that I'll save my TRU receipt, and if I see it at Target I can buy it cheaper there and then return it to TRU and get some money back. Kind of a hassle - my wife refers to such things as my "schemes" - but I don't care

Thanks for the link...ordered mine too. An extra $10 is much better than trying to find it in-store. I think the gas alone is $5.00 each way. The "thrill of the hunt" is looooong gone for me.

That is so true

I agree, but nothing beats that thrill of finding something new you want on the pegs, especially after weeks of fruitless searching. :mrgreen:

For me, the "thrill of the hunt" is sometimes my only justification for spending money on this hobby anymore. I've decided I can't afford to collect the '66 line. However, if I really see a $50 Batmobile at TRU/Target, I might just have to take it as a sign from the toy gods that I'm meant to have this thing.

Already sold out on TRU's web site.
