Nah, I'm actually in the Midwest. The paintjobs for my Doomsday 6-pack were also quite good, so hopefully the quality control is indeed improving and my sets weren't a fluke. Haven't opened up any of my packs yet though...so I can't vouch for how well their backsides are painted or if they stand. :)

Huh. Interesting you should say that. This week at Target, I picked up the last Huntress and Etrigan 3-pack but found no Shayera/Ray. Since they're normally packed 2 per case, I figured someone else just bought 2 of the Shayera packs along along with the others. I also noticed a few older...

Thanks for the info Peter. I'm most disappointed about the Brain. That little figure looked awesome.

Whoa, Captain Atom looks spot-on Dusty. You found (or mixed) the perfect paint for his suit. What paints did you use for that? Nice update to Red Tornado too.

That's one fine-looking custom, Dusty :eek: . I thought Mattel's Deadshot looked good, but yours blows it away. I think it's the gun barrels & straps...they look a tad too big on the Mattel version.

My place looked about the same when I moved, Casimir. I even have those exact same Mainstreet File boxes--great for storing older carded Star Wars figures & a decent size for moving JLU 3-packs!

I'm interested in seeing how they handle the Death of Superman DTV. Ending it simply with Superman's death seems a little odd for a stand-alone DVD in the market. But tacking on a fat "TO BE CONTNUED" note just wouldn't have the same dramatic weight. This is assuming that the sales of the DTV...

Yup. Totally agree with you there. Poor Martian Manhunter's odds aren't good for making it onto a spine. He barely made it onto the cover of JLU.

I really love that Batman Beyond cover. Not sure about the JLU cover...some of the poses look a bit awkward to me, all lumped together like that. It's good to see that JLU isn't being released under the "Kids" banner, since that probably means better features. Seems like it'd make a little...

Thanks for the info Peter. Very cool JLU news. Although I'm pretty bummed out about Grundy, since this the first year in a while I can't make it out to WW Chicago.

Huh. Didn't notice that. I'm actually more annoyed that they altered the logo size on the spine of STAS v.3 so it doesn't match the previous releases. It still looks fine, but it's juuuust significant enough to bug me when I look at my DVD shelf.

What do the 2 cels that came with S:TAS & JL look like? I believe the cel that came with the Krypto dvd is the same one shown in the weekly ad. If they're not randomly packed, I'm thinking we can sort out which cels come with what sets and avoid getting doubles. Now we just gotta find someone on...

Anybody know if the Circuit City animation cels are packed inside the DVD boxes or are they given to you separately? I called a Circuit City to make sure they had the cels in stock but they were clueless.

When JL season 1 first aired, I remember thinking the shift from businessman to costume-wearing mad scientist was a result of Lex losing his mind a bit from his life spiraling downwards. But I also like the idea that it was actually Brainiac the whole time that was influencing Luthor on a...

I hate to say it, but I'm starting to wonder if the JLU lag is because Target's having second thoughts on whether they should carry the line. At my Targets, the JLU 3-packs and the new DC 6 inch line seem to be competing for the same shelf space. And now that the show's ending, I can see how the...
