Anyone else planning to get it?

I've got one on pre-order at BBTS. Cannot wait!

Me too, but from EE. Wish it came out sooner than October....

I thought Alfred would be the most rare.

I got him by asking an employee a week before the 5/28 release date. TRU's was allowed to release figures before the street date.

Now I see two Alfred's warming the pegs at some of my Walmarts

>_>

How about snagging one for me

My problem is not being anywhere near a Forbidden Planet here in the UK. Nearest is London, about 3hrs away.

When I visited friends the other weekend, they had one in Bristol (4hrs away from me) and I found loads of Batman & Bane, then 2 Alfred and 4 GU Catwoman.

Managed to get a Blake from amazon US, and I've got Ra's on pre-order, but it says he's been delayed for like 5weeks

Hey guys. I was looking through the toy aisle at my local Walmart in Ohio (like I do whenever I go there ), and I noticed that they FINALLY restocked the movie masters.

They had:

7x Batman
2x Bane
2x Catwoman (GU)
and . . . 1x Ra's !!!

It was the first time I saw Ra's outside the internet.

I believe whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you…stranger.

I believe in Harvey Dent.

But I don't believe this....haha, J/k. Good for you though. Glad Ra's is finally showing up on pegs.

I have a spare Ra's that I paid $25 bucks for. I can check what shipping would be to you?

Hey Tim, thanks for the heads up. I've emailed them and they won't give me a refund as they'll definitely be getting the figure. Bit pi$$ed as when I ordered it, shipping was due for 27th August, now it's 8th October, and they didn't even tell me! I found out by checking their website!

I'll just have to wait it out I guess. However, if you find a Gordon...I'd definitely take that off your hands! I hate the original Gordon figure.

Mcfarlane makes absolute crap which is why I won't bite on buying the ward figure. It was one scene and they still didn't get the pose right. He wasn't receiving he was catching a kickoff.

I had a feeling they screwed up somehow

not to mention,anyone who thinks the Hines figure will fit in,scale-wise, with their MM's is dead wrong. the Sportspicks are more like 7" - 8", and having the figure already ( in non-Rogues Steelers colors), he'll look like Andre the Giant compared to the MM figures!

The Gotham Rogues Hines Ward is just a straight repaint of an earlier Hines Ward figure they released AND this one isn't even movie accurate uniform .. in the movie the jersey says 'Gotham' NOT 'Gotham City'... even Under Armour screwed up their jerseys .. the 'limited edition' ones they had say 'Gotham Rogues' on it!! Seriously, make it movie accurate or don't bother! I don't care if it's a rehash pose that isn't even in the movie, the not accurate uniform bugs me more .. that being said, I'll still buy one because I was never able to get ANY Gotham Rogues merchandise thanks to Under Armour NOT SHIPPING their 'exclusive limited edition' merch outside the States ...

Same here!! It's the only figure I need to complete my collection. I'm torn on if I even want him or not. I'm leaning toward no because he is so damn hard to find!

Me too! I figured maybe 2pack with him mightve been more worth it.. But thats broken signal piece looks awesome and so does the fact hes in a different, darker, suit with an axe ^.^

[ScarecrowMan666]

At least with that walmart set, people who couldn't get Alfred will be able to get him now...although it is hard to justify dropping that much cash for one figure. Perhaps the price on the single packed version will get driven down due to that.

At this point, I just want to walk into the store and find Alfred on the peg and know that my journey is complete.

And do you still feel responsible for never finding Alfred at retail yet? My anger outweighs my guilt.
