Burnt/ More like scalded and blisterd!

I'm still waiting to get the DCUC Atom, Black Lightning, Eradicator, Riddler wave!!!!

So go and set the limit to 100 per person, then ask for pre-payment so they can gauge how many they need to make to meet demand? I think the clowns at Mattel live on Earth-M where customers are a jovial bunch and don't mind being burnt repeatedly!

I think Rod Keith hit the nail on the head.
I also completely agree that 10 per customer is WAY too many.

But is it sold out? It didn't say sold out like Hordak did .... I'm wondering if there is something else going on with this set .... I would like to get them (even thought that Luthor reminds me of the the Winged men from the old Flash Gordon serial) ...

Although I´m not interested in that 2-pack, I agree with Outburst; hope the scalpers will eat all their goods garnished with potatoes.

I was working and missed out too. :(. But I'm going to try to be patient and wait for the next shipment.

I imagine their first shipment was kept pretty small to build up some genuine demand for the second, since the reaction online wasn't all that excited, originally. And if that sells out, maybe they'll go back to make more, like the Strange/Starfire pack.

I kind of hope that the scalpers will stuck with them. I saw a single DCUC5 figure for about $100 on eBay recently and I thought, who would buy it at that price?
This two-set doesn't interest me because they don't even fit into the universe I collect in, unless you count some crossovers.
Ultraman looks like he'd make a great base for a customizer but otherwise I'm not interested.
The sell-out also surprises me because Mattel had basically told us that the 2-packs proposed to specialty shops (Brainiac and Supes, golden age hawkman, etc.) had a lukewarm response.
So hopefully the scalpers will get stuck with a bunch of product they can't sell. I'd enjoy that.
