Sorry, what I meant was there were no MMs online to use the promotion with. Sold out.

Lost power here so a little behind on the 'Hype

What is the case packout that includes Blake and Ra's? If I see 6-7 Batman that are new (in the last week) at my store, is that wave 1, wave 2?

I have an extra Batman vs. Bane 2-pack. PM me if interested. Would like 2 figures: Gordon and Alfred.

I have an extra Ra's on non-mint card. One corner is missing the colored paper, but the corner is still there. All other corners are good, figure looks great.

[The Gigs]

Called around Toledo today and nada. One Target is resetting so they haven't worked anything and every other Target and K-Mart store doesn't have Ra's or Blake.

Hopefully my Blake pre-order at BBTS is filled soon so I can quit calling around; I sense some of the employees are getting irritated that I call every day. Not that I give a s---. lol

[CatwomanFan1]

I would be willing to trade you for the bane out of that two pack. Would you split it up?

Hey I want to do a suited Bruce Wayne custom, and was wondering what kind of paint I should use, and what's the best way to go about actually painting it.

[MovieMasterJohn]

I have a Two Face Dark Knight Movie Masters & a DKR Alfred for trade.

I'm also doing a suited Bruce custom, I was going to use an extra Alfred but since I'm making a Black Mask out of one I didn't want to have 3 figures of the same suit so I'm making him out of a Harvey Dent (which was also cheaper too), I think I'm just painting the tie though as the suit can prove difficult with the joints and all but it can be done.

I use Testors Model Masters Acryl paint (not enamel), I buy it at a shop called Hobby Town USA but Hobby Lobby, Michaels and other craft stores are known to carry a decent selection of it as well. They're fairly cheap at about $3 for a little jar of it (lasts you a while though). I recommend most of their flat colors and be careful on what glossy paints to use on a figure. Also here's a color catalog of their paints http://www.testors.com/category/136645/Acryl_Paints

As for going about painting it, it's pretty self explanatory and simple with that stuff. Buy a couple cheap synthetic brushes (student grade packs work perfectly fine). Most of the Model Masters Acryl paint does not need to be thinned and I never seal them (I've heard of people sealing them with other stuff but also having problems with it as well so I just stay away from it since the paint does a pretty good job of sealing itself).

Anyone have anything they would want to trade for a Mint SDCC Bruce to Batman? I have all of the TDKR MM but kind of want to get some TDK ones.

[TheBlackMask]

I have an extra GD Catwoman MOC for trade, I'm looking for GU Catwoman.

[Scarface5]

Just got notification that my John Blake is in at BBTS. All done with the bat signal figs. Just need a TRU 2 pack now.

I have a goggles up I would send you for the goggles down. PM me if you're interested.

[Hatebreed]

OK everyone I've got some news. I just got off the phone with Dan from forbidden planet. The deal with the orders is the only figures ment to be online were Batman and Bane. Someone messed up and put the others online. The others were for instore use only. I was told they only had 8 of each figure. Dan said he got over 100 orders for movie masters compared to around 5 orders in a normal day. People were trying to buy 10 at a time aka ebay vultures. They refunded peoples money because they wont get any more. It was an honest mistake and they are very sorry. They just now got to the orders because of the move. Dan was very nice and feels awful for this mess.

[Jokesonuhahaha6]

Just hit k-mart, walmart, target, barnes and noble, and khols (for the heck of it), and going to another barnes and noble now. All i can say is unbelievable. Walmart had batmans and barnes and noble same and some banes. I can't take this anymore!

[MovieMasterJohn]

I would rather have waited for the figures to have come out after the movie so that they could have put out 1 case with all 6 figures.

Thanks, I'm going out "hunting" later so I'll get back to you, most likely I'll still need it. - are you a moc collector or loose? I just noticed that the card has a little wear on part of the ridged side, the rest of the card looks good but just want to let you know incase your a mint card collector.

Also, has anyone had any luck with Sears carrying them? everyone now and then they carry a few surprises but I havn't checked them out yet for these.
Gonna check out an FYE, TRU, Meijer, and possibly Target, Sears and TJ Maxx (saw some people have had luck there right?).

[MovieMasterJohn]

I hit 3 kmarts, 3 walmart & a couple of Targets between Friday & Sunday. All I found was one Alfred that I'm trading for a Ra's. There IS something seriously wrong with this. People want to blame the Green Lantern MM (which I'm slowly finishing the collection of. Didn't hate the movie and think all that metallic green together looks cool), but Dark Knight Rises really had no risk of failing anyway. I'm getting tired of seeing the cheap 4" figures as there are 10 Batman color variants and 2 Bane color variants. I bought the Target 5 pack, but aside from that they're an eyesore in the aisles.

[joshinwithyaa]

im interested in a blake if anybody wants to sell me or trade me one please pm me

[MovieMasterJohn]

I have seen the 4" Batman figures at TJ Maxx, but I always check there anyway as I've found some Green Lantern movie masters there for 3.99. Ones I needed too.

[joshinwithyaa]

nvm got one on a website for 17.99 $ !!!!! i got 2 if anybody wants one offer me a pm

I went to Boscovs, which is kind of like Sears, and they had nothing. Their toy section is a pathetic excuse for one. Try Barnes & Noble if you have one by you. I heard multiple findings of Catwoman there.

[Jokesonuhahaha6]

Nothing in the other barnes and noble. Im done trying but i dont want to spen $50 on a blake im going to use for a custom. Also im looking for an alfred.

[Thedarkknight95]

I've only seen Alfred once. I kind of regret not picking him up. I wouldn't have kept it, but I would've sold it and made a profit. I've seen some going for upwards of $40 dlvd!

[MovieMasterJohn]

Do you guys know how to put pictures in without using an external website link?
