Yeah - the single figure orders have been going out for a few days now. The orders for sets are in the process of getting organized for shipping later this week and into next.

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to go unscathed through the credit card hack problem. The card I used to order Wave 7 has been charged by CSC, and seems to be just fine. However, the card I used to order Wave 8 has a bunch of pending fraudulent charges. Called the CC company today, and had to close the account and get a new card sent out, along with all the charge dispute affidavits I need to fill out.

That's a pain; sorry to hear that. I had something like that happen to me a few years ago, but was fortunate in that the CC company caught it right away and froze the card until they confirmed with me that there was something wrong, so I didn't to do too much.

Picked up the variant Booster Gold along with Blue Beetle and redeco Aquaman. I need to get Flash, Kid Flash, and variant Barda. No wonder I'm so broke.

**Zodac101** · March 10, 2009, 09:20pm

That is a pain Skullface. Glad it was cuaght before it got out of hand though.

The Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, and Aquaman still elude me!! GRRRRR

**Kevenn** · March 10, 2009, 10:17pm

I also got hit with fraudulent charges this past week. I got my new card in the mail today and had to forward the new number to CSC. I hope they catch the person(s) that did that. Granted, my card called me about it coz they noticed weird activity on my card, and their insurance covers the charges made, and I won't be penalized, but it is WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!

I mean, they even bought an AARP membership on my card. I certainly don't need one of those those! And the Netflix movies that they ordered actually ended up coming to my house.

Just to be safe, I contacted Experian and had them put a fraud alert on my credit report.

*sigh* I am getting tired of paying twice as much going on ebay to get the NEW figures. But I was lucky in finding Mr. Miracle at a Target. Not a figure that I wanted to spend $20+ on online. He is better than I thought he would be, and goes nicely with Big Barda.

Just my two cents.

Yeah, I became suspicious when Darkseid seemed to be slightly taller than Clark Kent on one of the other TPB covers

yes, those images above are wrong. They fly in the face of Kirby's drawings, they fly in the face of the Who's Who entry. They're wrong.

we have two sources that say 6' 2", that seems pretty conclusive, especially when the only people disputing it are current artists.

As was said earlier, I always thought she was at least taller than Wonder Woman but not like the height on the tpb cover. I'm surprised DC doesn't provide their artists with the accurate info. Then again, it is DC Comics we're speaking of here.

**Orko's Hat** · March 12, 2009, 05:04am

I honestly did not care for wave 6 "Killer Moth". What a stupid looking character. But I needed him for Kalibak. Didn't want to play $20+ online for him either. Today I found one at a Target, and I bought him. Now that I have him in person, I REALLY like this guy. He's actually pretty cool!

One thing that I like about him is that he literally IS a failure. I totally LOL'ed at his bio, really. Killer Moth is a total failure in the comics. Heroes and villains alike laugh at him. He's basically DC's villain punching bag.

He's also nicely done, striped day-glo green and orange tights and all. This is a fun one to have around. So glad I got him. Probably one of the most under-appreciated figures in the whole line.

**He-Ro 666** · March 13, 2009, 02:26pm

I went looking for Marvel Universe figures (price quoting) at the Target near the job and stumbled upon Firestorm II. WW and Cyborg were there as well as a Supes Red with (unpainted or paint missing) swiss cheese spots in the white of his costume.

**Zodac101** · March 14, 2009, 01:45pm

That seems to be the problem I'm seeing with that wave too. The Blue/Red Sups. Both seem to have issues with the white paint. I didn't find any issues with any of the other figures from that wave...so that is a step in the right direction.

**Sean79** · March 14, 2009, 09:33pm

Recieved wave 7 today that I got from e-bay. Included everyone but long hair Barda variant. But the only problem is that the Barda I got came with the wrong arm to build Atom Smasher, it was the same arm that came with Kid Flash. Has anyone had this happen, if so have you contacted Mattel, if so did the problem get fixed?

I managed to snag Scarecrow and Nightwing Infinite Heroes figs on Thursday. I so need to get a checklist going on these things. I forget who I buy and then can never remember who is out for these. The way these things keep coming out I swear they are trying to make me lose what little bit of my mind is left. Stupid horrible memory.

and in a nice twist, i made a stop at the graham crackers in lincoln park and snagged a classic firestorm that was being sold open item style (package was taped at the top of the bubble and the grodd piece was still in there). much better price than i was expecting to pay for the fig and i'm still kinda shocked at seeing open item pricing in a comic book store.

**illicitjedi** · March 17, 2009, 03:00pm

The scarecrow is a pretty cool figure! I've seen him once, I just don't feel the need to start another line of characters!

I might have to pick him up anyway...

**Zodac101** · March 17, 2009, 03:11pm

I'm not into the Infinites line. I like the detial in the DCUC figures..when done right. lOL

The only figure I want from the IH line is the Atom...to put him with the wave 5 DCUC figure.

**capitalzero** · March 17, 2009, 04:07pm

Anybody seen wave 7.5 in or around Pittsburgh?

checked the Century III TRU, and they're still rocking wave 4, haven't checked the Wal-Marts in and around South Hills, and I haven't been to Robinson or Washington in weeks.

There have been lots of sightings that Wave 7B is hitting Wal-Marts, with many stores setting up endcap displays for them. Haven't seen it myself though.....

7.5 has Aquaman, Blue Beetle, and Booster Gold, right? I picked them up last week in Monaca at Wal-Mart.

**capitalzero** · March 17, 2009, 07:45pm

Yeah, Beetle, Booster, and Aquaman.

Endcaps you say?, that'd be awesome!

I just wanna get Atom Smasher done, and get the Blue/Gold team rockin' out.

Aquaman will be an easy find, methinks. Since it's not a common/popular costume.

**Zodac101** · March 18, 2009, 01:54pm

Anyone know what the differnce in the two Different Booster Gold figures are. I know one has the ship that opens up...but I don't see any thing different with the figures. Just curious, as I'd like to get the one with the open ship.

**capitalzero** · March 18, 2009, 03:40pm

One has a 'popped collar' and the other one has no collar.

I think they're 50/50.

the popped collar is 'classic' the no-collar is current. the no-collar one has the opening Skeets.

**Orko's Hat** · March 19, 2009, 01:25am

They both should open. The Classic collar one has Skeets, the modern BG has Mr. Mind inside.

Scored me a Blue Beetle today. Nice figure. Also got Wave 2 Aquaman, but he has 2 right arms. Fudge.

BB is perfect though.

**MegaGearMax** · March 19, 2009, 12:57pm

I've just finished Wave 7 today. I got 7a from TRU and today I found 7b at a couple of different Wal-Marts.

I got both Boosters.

It's about time they've hit South Jersey.

**illicitjedi** · March 19, 2009, 02:04pm

I was out yesterday and saw some remnants of wave 6 at one walmart. Targets in my area all keep restocking the WW wave. There are 500 WW in my area!

i see a ton of her as well... but never artemis

**illicitjedi** · March 19, 2009, 02:18pm

I've found a few artemis. Is BB not shipping in that wave any longer. I have found sooo many of everyone except Batman Beyond. I have one, I just find it very odd.
