DCIH 3 packs

[4lott]

So the powers that be among Walmart's toy buyers gave us DCIH singles. Does anyone know if we'll also be getting the 3 packs. I really hope this won't be a repeat of DCUC from last year. We get all psyched that we're getting a great line in Canada then.....nothing. I am being cautiously optimistic however. While I'd prefer DCUC, I'm happy with any mass market DC product at this point.

I've haven't come across any at mass retail yet, but I've been buying mine at a couple different comic shops. These figures are awesome. I just ordered myself some DCIH stands so I'll be able to finally display them with much love. :cool:

edit: oh, forgot to say I've seen pretty much all the three packs at various comic shops in Vancouver. Problem is, they're usually really expensive ($30). I'm sure Walmart or some other store would have them for cheaper.

I saw them at the comic shop this weekend, but have never seen any IH at retail. :(

I really feel that Mattel has crapped the bed with this and the Universe line. So much potential.

Yeah, distribution is brutal. Both lines should be all over the majors, but I've only ever seen em in comic shops. Just brutal.

Mattel just announced that NYCC will be where they are showcasing the new DCUC and DCIH products for this year. More will be shown there than at NY toy fair.

If Mattel can improve the articulation to even what Hasbro has for 25th joe/Star Wars and fixes those massive hands. I'll be all over this line.

Cool. Only a couple weeks away. Can't wait!

More articulation would definitely be a plus. Though I found they have a charm as they are, and I think the quality of the build is excellent. I particularly love the molded soft plastic parts, like the capes and Green Arrow's hoodie.

I'd be happy with a ball jointed head and articulated hands.

Yeah, it would be nice if Superman could look where he's flying. ;)

found the 3 packs at TRU.

they had:
Bizzaro/WonderGirl/Supergirl
Hawkman/2 Hawkmen Guards
Weather Wizard/Jay Garrick/Mirror Master
Black Canary/GL/GA

steep price, 19.99 but its pretty sweet that these packs are here

Zellers has 'em for $19.99 also.

Actually that is a pretty good price. The 3 packs are anywhere from $16-$20 in the US depending on the store and the singles here at TRU are $10.99. So you are getting 3 figures for less than the price of 2 singles.

I saw them at a comic shop for $19.99 too. Still no biting though.

I just wished the 3 packs had the character data like the US. cards do.

That's pretty good. Usually LCS around my area have them for $29.99

[lars573]

Well that comic shop is an odd beast. Like most comic shops what diamond charges them for regular retail stuff means they gotta add like $5 over MSRP. But for Infinite heroes that doesn't seem to be the case. They're $9.99 for the single packs (and they were having a BOGO to try and clear some out). And $19.99 for the 3 packs.

actually in the states they are priced at like 12.99 (TRU and Walmart) As for the singles, they are like 4.99 (Target)

So IMHO they seem steep to me.
