@ninjak I added the bundle + extra Robin and my shipping was $13 for usps ground. Sweet spot seems to be 2 figs, then the shipping drops to $7, but I'm just one state over.
Saw the Bullseye Batman at GameStop yesterday - had no idea this existed and almost bought it because it looked so fun. But the bullseye breaking at the ab crunch if at all articulated kinda killed it.
Did this guy come outta nowhere or did I just miss it?

I went and logged out of my MTS account and then logged back in, and the shipping went down, but it was sill over $20 for USPS, so I dropped the extra Robin and just ordered the bundle and the shipping went down to $11.39. So I just did that. Then I forgot I already have that Robin pre-ordered on Amazon. So, that actually works out. I'll just keep my Amazon order as well for a second Robin.
Don't know what was going on with those insane shipping prices. I checked my saved addresses and my address was on there twice, so I deleted one of them. Maybe that had something to do with it.
It would seem Walmart has/had Question and Shining Knight up on the site. Hopefully this is just a place holder until the next Walmart Con. I saw no listing for Effigy.
Here is the Effigy link:

Yeah the McFarlane store shipping is insane. I refuse to believe I can ship goods cheaper than a company that manufactures and sells thousands of products.
Also - thank you for the link to Question…that’s probably my best chance at getting the figure without paying EBay prices.
@krpytonian I love that Designer series figure. Currently have the headsculpt on a customized McFarlane page punchers. Nice paint work despite the poor articulation in the upper body.
Opened up a few figures that I've had sitting in a stack for a while, including First Appearance Batman. Good grief. I don't know what this figure is supposed to scale with, but it's ridiculous.
I missed Batman Day by one day, picked up Dick Grayson Batman at Gamestop today. All the praise I've heard about this guy is accurate, he came out really clean. He looks specific to the the story he is supposed to be from (which can be hit or miss with Todd), the head looks just like Quitley's art and the buck used for him is as on-point as you could hope for with this line. I'm really looking forward to the Damian to pair with this guy. The equally good Quitley head and the uniformity with their belts and gauntlets is going to make this a really nice Batman and Robin pair.
The YouTuber I posted the video from making minor upgrades to the lights on the Forever Batmobile has now posted a more involved updated customization.

That guy is an expert level customizer. Been subscribed to his channel for awhile. 👍
Got a haul in from the McFarlane store…every figure I had on preorder hit all at once. 7 figures in 4 boxes, they really need to figure out how to combine shipping. Despite my earlier comments about the shipping price, I did pool with my dad a few months back on the Platinum Collector Club. The 10% off that you can stack with MTS10 or other coupon codes, plus the extra points from the original promo and cards in my orders, have been really worth it. I’ve been pounding $20 off codes when I want a single figure like Damian ($9.17 shipped) or the Agent Liberties ($48 shipped for regular and Chase).
My dad orders Super Powers cases every few months which also contributes but it’s been a great value after 3-4 months. Outside of the $20 off codes I haven’t found the other rewards to be any good. If you consider the added price compared to other retailers a $20 off code is really saving you $15-$17.
Got Red Hood, a regular GL, Cyborg, DKR Batman, Jonah Hex, and Damian all sitting on my porch when I got home. There’s not a bad figure in the bunch. Have to wait until I’m done with meetings to sit down and open them but just looking at them in hand…..I really have nothing negative to say.
I do wish that Cyborg fit Dawn of DC but he’s an excellent Rebirth figure for the other display….now a Sodam Yat away from completion. Great combo of new sculpt and re-use on all of the figures. Good accessories and head sculpts with the collector editions.
It seemed like the worst value for my money when I bought it but man, this Jonah Hex figure is something else. Insanely cool. Hard to pick a favorite between him and Damian.
So there's a case packout posted on IG by one of the regular McF scoopers (Alex Chen). He says the case will include chase platinums for Batman Beyond & Silver Age Bats (no other details, but i don't think anyone is surprised).
What's interesting is he says it will also include a chase platinum for the long-rumored single release Bats from the Spawn-Batman crossover. My guess is it's the same figure from the 2-pack, but in a different color scheme (Blue? Battle damaged?) or maybe a different head sculpt.
I finally picked up Dick Greyson Batman and the new Tim Drake Robin. I really like both of these figures a lot. And I am loving these fabric capes with the poseable wire. Tim's cape though just feels extra quality. it's a bit thicker or something.
But, once again, Todd knocked out two more great Bat related figures. He's crushing it on the Bat front.
Just watched @Dhunter333 excellent review for the new Deathstroke. He's the only one that mentioned the missing knife on this release probably due to incompetence. 🤣 He's right.
I'm tracking the Plats too. They're showing up at Walmarts and also currently being dispersed across the country by Gamestop.

Where did you get Robin? Amazon says Oct 29th 🙁
I received Deathstroke and the Platinum Grayson Batman today from GameStop. My daughter wanted a Grayson Batman but she was expecting the black and grey and was quite happy when it was the blue and grey. I placed an order in for Robin since the site listed in stock. She said she saw Robin on the pegs at GameStop today on her lunch break.
