I found commander steel at target today.

I entered for Effigy and Question. I already gave in an payed twice retail on ebay for Shining Knight, which arrived today. That was my most wanted of the 3, but I want all 3.
Good luck, Everyone! I know that this didn't go too well for most of us for the similar wave with the Manhunters, Reverse Flash and Sportsmaster.
Best of luck to everyone entering. I have zero interest in those three. Just saw Effigy + Shining Knight at Gamestop. I only want that Plat Deathstroke which has somehow eluded me still.
I was able to catch up on some stuff today. I got the Rookie/Mr. Bloom set at Target, I got in Clock King from Amazon, and Red Hood will be here Saturday from Amazon, and I was able to get Sportsmaster from Ebay for $35 shipped.
To those on here entering for the EQL drawings for Chase figures, I wish you the best of luck. I hope some Fwooshers can get some of these harder to get figures.
I was lucky, as I just didn't need any of those. But we've all been in that spot before with this line. So, I hope you guys can get some stuff you want.
Took a shot on my first EQL entry for Shining Knight. I figured I might as well try - but now I'm kind of hoping I don't win as I'd rather not pay the shipping and just find it a Gamestop eventually.
Drove 26 miles to a Gamestop where I previously randomly found Manhunter + Red Superman and...
I really only came for a plat Deathstroke. 2 regs + 1 Robin. Notice the plat behind Clock King...
I had purchased a Pro account last weekend through the site, but apparently it was glitched. Customer support refunded me. Told me to buy in-store. Told this store they were my favorite and purchased the Pro with them (they were thrilled, store gets performance bonuses for Pro signups) + The Question + plat Lantern!! 2 Lanterns from Best Buy currently in a package on a flight!
I had ordered Red Hood and Clock King Collector Editions from Amazon when they went back in stock. I really just wanted the regular versions of both. And I got the regular version of Clock King, but I got the Platinum Red Hood.
I have to say though, having this Platinum Red Hood in hand, I actually really like it. The purple tint on the suit, and the way it's kind of shiny, it just looks cool. I'll probably just stick with this.

Yeah, baby! Whiplash!
Target has their exclusive Parallax Sinestro and others from the wave up on their site now. The added sale ($20 off $75 and $10 off $40) applies.
Also I saw at target app the metallo and fire are down to $16 bucks each fyi.
I got Commander Steel and Sinestro for under $40 shipped with the coupon.
Lots of interesting things in this new product listing. I can't say, "I'm absolutely getting all of these" because you never know when Todd will whiff on something, but I'm very interested to see how these turn out:
I have an appreciation for the Snyder movies, so I'm looking forward to Superman (BvS), Wonder Woman (BvS), armored Batman, and armored Darkseid with throne. (Absolutely insane that BvS Superman--the title character---is a chase, but that's what happens when the guy in charge is a head case. You're the only one who thinks this is cool, Todd.)
Gold Label Hal Jordan -- I'm still waiting on a Hal that checks all my boxes....will this be it?
Action Comics 1000 Superman---how will this be different than the first Superman in the line? WILL it be different at all?
Superman '78---likely based on the art from the comic that's based on Reeve, we'll have to see how this turns out.
Superman the movie 1978---What I said above. One of these two has to be a winner, right?
Breyfoggle Batman---Could possibly retire my "Knightfall" Batman which, while it is a good figure, doesn't look like any artist that was involved in Knightfall.
I went wild back in 2016 buying a ton of merch for the BvS hype. It's strange, the more I watch that film, the least I like it, but the aesthetics of that universe I like very much so I'm prob in for most or all (again, Mattel)...especially that Batmobile!
Interesting that Christopher Reeve is now no longer a Collector Edition but just a reg Multiverse release? Page Puncher version definitely from a comic. Looks like it's imminent.

There are creative decisions and casting choices that I am definitely not a fan of. That said, I admire those three DC Snyder films for its unique vision and for that fact that is was not trying to be Marvel (which ultimately is the reason WB, in all their wisdom and in all their focus groups, butchered JL into the bastardized Josstice League version...a movie I don't plan to watch again). I'm glad the Snyder version of JL was released, I think it was my favorite of the three. I'm fine with the 4 hour run time.
If that's not a typo and Movie Reeve Superman is available for anyone to buy anywhere, that would be half way to the goal. Then they just have to execute it properly.
I'm curious to see which comic design the Shazam figure is inspired by. Hopefully it'll be a relatively classic looking Captain Marvel. Only other figure that sounds interesting to me is the Breyfogle Batman. Accurately sculpted, that's got potential to make a really cool looking action figure.
