I live in Montreal, Canada and it's pathetic(Toys r Us too) . But if I drive 2 1/2 hours to Burlington ,Vermont (a city about a 1/5 the size of Montreal) and it's like I died and went to action figure heaven . I can't afford to take trips to the States every other week so it looks like its Ebay toy scalper/scumbags(+ ridiculous shipping/duties) for me too.<br />For god's sake , these are plastic toys produced in China. Theres gotta be heaps of them.

AAAAGGGHHH!!!<br /><br />One shipment of Wave 11 and that was it...and the two remnants left then were none I wanted (Batman & Superman). This is startng to feel like bad deja vu!! And our regional grocery chain used to be a good place to luck out and find some, but they stopped carrying them after Wave 2!!Doug Hhttp://badfinger54.tripod.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38380907.post-49946858585931821702010-03-11T17:16:28.699+11:002010-03-11T17:16:28.699+11:00i can not wait to hunt down this wave. even though...i can not wait to hunt down this wave. even though i have to agree they did not need Obsidian mouth to be open for he looks pissed off and ready to go pycho. the ultra Humanite is one of the main reasons to hunt the line. besides gold. and now Mattel has to do jade and rose and thorn to complete the family. and Kamandi will come with what is shown even though wish the wave was not just walmartdemoncatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38380907.post-30159078577252739192010-03-11T08:24:23.865+11:002010-03-11T08:24:23.865+11:00FMS needs to win for that comment.FMS needs to win for that comment.Westyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05881921492686068323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38380907.post-30375551285162341382010-03-11T08:24:19.539+11:002010-03-11T08:24:19.539+11:00Alan Scott is the only for sure want from me.

I don't like the yellow either, I might paint it white, but odds are good I won't be able to drum up the energy to do so.<br /><br />Ultra-Humanite looks very good as well. I likes Obsidian, too.ryanlbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08055501874396003499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38380907.post-68570034068978958322010-03-11T03:33:45.965+11:002010-03-11T03:33:45.965+11:00Can't wait to have these guys in hand.

And while the hunt can be part of the fun, dealing with what we internationals have to put up with to get a shot at some of these things is just demented. I've got to the point of if I can't pre-order it , I more or less know it's going to end up as an expensive trip to eBay, and that's not fun, it's toy manufacturer brutality.Westyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05881921492686068323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38380907.post-8276272867805096012010-03-10T22:54:01.510+11:002010-03-10T22:54:01.510+11:00Humanite's veins across his head are much less...Humanite's veins across his head are much less noticeable with this figure than when I saw him on JLU.Jon action figures buffhttp://actionfiguresbuff-jon.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38380907.post-69398743007409528512010-03-10T17:25:36.979+11:002010-03-10T17:25:36.979+11:00Sure hope Kamandi comes with all those guns.

Bit of a distribution issue!<br /><br />Like I said I am very lucky to have some US based friends who helped me out with 10, but at best I'm still paying retail plus international shipping, so Wal-Mart waves are a costly exercise for me!
