The Dark Knight Rises Movie Masters: Official Discussion - Part 5

[AdamJensen]

Finally got in Ras! Thinking of making a video review of the whole collection and how the signal is put together. I almost have my second set finished but I need Alfred and waiting to see when Ras will hit retail.

I need Alfred too. He's not at any Toys R Us, Wal-Mart or Target around here. I've checked them ALL.

The only place I've ever seen an Alfred was K-Mart. And just the one time. So glad I bought it when I did!

 

[Brita21]

What state!? I have a good feeling about this week!

Im in Modesto CA... Good luck!

 

[Brita21]

So how close are all of you guys to completing the set? And are you gonna open them?... I never open anything.. but i wanna build that bat signal! I don't know what to do, almost considering buying doubles

I've had the set for a few weeks now. I'm usually a MOC collector as well, so I bought doubles of each so I would have a set to open and build the bat signal. Glad I did.

 

[MovieMastersGuy]

Ha dude how could you not have batteries ready to light that bad boy up? I've been wanting a working Bat-Signal since I was a kid I'm looking forward to the moment I get Ra's to fulfill Ra's al Ghul's destiny...I mean my destiny!

HA! tell me about it

I remember drawing a bat symbol on a flashlight just so I could have a working bat signal.

 

[Mike Leos]

Ra's Al Ghul just came in this morning. It seemed pretty secure in the box it came in, but once I took it out it had been dented in the back in a concave like manner and was creased at the top. The box had been the perfect size, so I assume this is how the seller had the figure originally? I'm not sure. Good thing I'm opening this one. Here's a shot that I took of him to represent the Wayne Manor Inferno scene :

Nice pic, I don't like Ras' open mouth though

Yeah that definitely makes me want to start buying doubles.. I'm so picky about perfect packaging

 

[BatsnCats]

My collection was complete the weekend the movie came out

I was so up and down about collecting them I wish I didn't start so late... but I have 5 of them.. Im jealous of you haha.

These look great in the box unopened, but yeah the Bat signal must be built. I wasn't initially planning on buying these, but once I started, it became a mad frenzy to track them all down.

 

[AdamJensen]

Are there any Alfreds up there?!

 

[Brita21]

Are there any Alfreds up there?!

Unfortunately not any that I've seen but my local toys r us is supposed to be restocking overnight... and I'm gonna be there at opening tomorrow morning so I'm hoping to find one he's one of the ones I need and if there's more than one I'll probably buy em all and try to help out some people on here. I figure if I help someone they might be able to help me back

I am basically finished from this movie. Unless I get that TRU Bane/Batman pack.

I tell ya', I used to be so picky about getting two of everything - I have a touch of OCD, so I had to have one to open and one to *keep*. But after going back and researching some of the things I had from years ago that were still in the original packaging, they haven't increased in value. In fact, some of them have gone down. Not that I am planning on selling my stuff, but some people do and that's why they keep MOC.

Plus, money has been very tight these past few years for me. I just can't justify buying something that I already have that I am not going to get rid of anyway. So I just open all of my figs, and have fun arranging them around! t:

 

[TinkTonks]

Say, if anyone's Toys R Us ever puts that two pack on sale, could one of you let me know? There is not a TRU in my area, so if it ever gets marked down, I'll never know!

 

[Mike Leos]

Why is the Alfred figure always at a high price? At least Ras moves according to supply And demand, but the old man is always expensive.

 

[Metropolis_Man]

Stopped by Toys R Us on the way home looking for some Marvel stuff, and there were a ton of Batman movie masters with one Blake and one goggles up Catwoman. I checked them out to make sure there was no Ra's and moved further down the isle to see what else I could find. As I was looking at some Marvel 3 3/4 two packs an employee came up talking to someone on the phone and took the Catwoman and Blake into the back with him laughing about something. That sucks!

I will let you know for sure. At this rate, I've been visiting them weekly.

How well does amazon package stuff? I have two in the mail from them, and I'm picky about the condition of the boxes

That's strange almost makes me wonder if it's the employees that make these things so hard to find and ruin it for the collectors.

I bet the employee could care less about the figures, but has a friend who is a scalper or big into selling on Amazon/eBay. Could've been the guy on the phone and he was asking him what to grab. What can be done about it though, you know?

My DC Universe Classics Superman and Batman shipped perfectly in a flat medium box. My Ra's is coming in tomorrow, but Lex, Supergirl and Survival Suit Bruce will also be in the box.

well I talked to a worker at target about them who has the whole dark knight set and is working on this set who told me he has a friend in the stock room who gives him a heads up so that's what led me to say that.. but either way it's a little frustrating and you're right no one can do anything.

 

[Brita21]

Has anybody ever actually seen Gordon at Walmart?

I just love how they never even carry any of their exclusives, and the best part is if you ask about they have no idea what you're talking about I was on the phone with some guy that kept asking me if I'm looking for the bat pod and as I'm saying no I'm looking for action figures not any type of vehicle he says well do you want me to put the bat pod on hold for you.. I didn't even know what to say lol

 

[BatsnCats]

Got a batman dcuc from amazon shoved inside a box way to small for it...card was a mess
