I wouldn't say they are peg warming. That's a term for toys that aren't selling.
Super Powers are new toys that are just showing up. And also these are well stocked. But with McFarlane's efficiency compared to say... Hasbro with their slow production, we got wave 1 and 2 around the same time and maybe gave the illusion that these are moving slow.

There is a certain charm to retro style figures. If they have more articulation or larger size then they won't be Super Powers. Plus it's been done before by Mattel with their DC Universe Classics line.

Walmart hwy27 and langstaff has one superpowers Darkseid. There are two pegs dedicated to this line but only one figure. I'm guessing scalper got here first.

It's been over a month and I still haven't seen these at my Walmarts. Distribution is going to suck for this line it seems.

Sounds standard for Walmart. I have 4 walmarts in my area and only 1 got them. And for other lines (like Transformers) only one of those 4 got the new exclusives.

It would definitely help if these exclusives were available online.

Found the Batman, Superman, Darkseid bat plane and supermobile at GameStop in pointe Claire Quebec. Figures were $16.99. At least we have option other than Walmart for these.

Found the Batwing and Supermobile at Bayshore GS on Thursday. Man the box for the Batwing is tiny!!!!


Left them because I can wait and see if they end up cheaper. Batwing was $30 and Supermobile was $45 (I think).

Found both vehicles, the Batwing and Supermobile, at a Gamestop at Erin Mills Town Centre in Mississauga. They also had two copies each of Superman, Batman and Darkseid.

Love that these are not Walmart exclusives now. Here's hoping that is the way things work going forward.

Gamestop colossus has all super power figs about $16 each which ever so slightly more than Walmart $15. One batwing here too for $30.
