At those prices ...??? ouch.

Thats only 18.33 a piece -- I figure these will retail for like 17.00 (and 23.00 at TRU..)

BWAH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! It's funny 'cause it's true!

I would've been in if these were retail at $14-15.99. At anything higher than that, I'm out.

Yeah...
Coming to the realization that I do not need all of these.
Whatever non-mainstream Bat-Villains they come out with might just be worth the upwards of $20, but I just can't see spending that for characters I already have 3-4 different versions of.
Batman, Robin, Batmobile - Yes!
And whatever non-mainstream Bat-Villains they come out with..
(Egghead, King Tut, Bookworm etc)
Or if they come outwith something that is just SO SUPER COOL!! I have to have it.

I also really hope that the new rope climb pics with the capes in the air is just an action shot and not capes with built in wires to keep shape.

I still think this will all be the blame of the new STAR WARS Black 6" series-and Star wars fans- starting them at 19.99 and they will sell because star wars fans are sheep- even if they are a new scale (since there hasnt been much new product collectors will jump on them)-- will push all other retailers and toy companies into thinking all fans will pay that amount for figures in that scale--(ask Mezco if this price point has worked for them- have they had a line not hit clearance at TRU...)

I love my Star Wars action figures but I don't think I'll be buying the 6" Black Series. It will be A and B characters only and I want my Star Wars to include C and D characters. For something like the Batman TV line, I'll be fine with just the A and B characters.

This is why I have a TRU credit card. I just charge away and pay it off the next month. I would rather pay a little extra than miss out on them when they and where the MIGHT show up at retail stores.

I'll be waitting until BBTS start to take preorders on these. Anyway, I was already expecting them to cost like that.

I'm just hoping I get some TRU Rewards/Coupons so I can buy the Batmobile before they jack up the price from $50 to $80. Which I know will happen, 'cause I saw it happen with Iron Man Legends & the Aluminum Falcon. :twisted:

Preordered the set of five (Batman, Riddler, Penguin, Joker, and Surf's Up Batman) from BBTS for $95. That's $19 apiece. Also preordered the Batman & Robin two-pack for $33.

They're a little pricier than I'd hoped. We'll see how it shakes out once they hit retail.

Magog · **Posted:** Wed Mar 20, 2013 11:15 am

Preordered mine from BBTS too. Series 1 set of 3, Batman and Robin box set and series 2 Joker. I'll get surf's up Batman later (I bet that one will be the easyest to find of them). :wink:
