Was just checking ebay listings, and saw that there are a couple wave 5 sets and singles showing up - based out of the US.  Also see some of the TRU 2-packs.
I haven't heard any reports of these surfacing previously.  Have these started to show up?

I posted this a while back, but haven't heard anything.  So, here's another desperate attempt:   :'(

Thanks to JohnH and a local shop, I'm caught up with DCUC - I ended up getting series 3 friday, and series 4 on saturday.
I have a bit of a problem though that I'm hoping someone can help out with. 

The right arm for Despero (that came with Cyborg) has some sort of a manufacturing defect.  The joint on the shoulder socket has some excess plastic, so it can't move.  Because of this, the only way I can put the arm in is to have it sticking straight out.  This issue is compounded by the fact that the pin that goes into the body is also messed up, so the arm just falls out.  I just got off the phone with Mattels customer support, and they don't have replacement parts for these guys.  So although they are going to send me out a voucher for the value of the figure, that doesn't do me much good for replacing the arm.  If the figures were available on shelves it wouldn't be a big deal - I could just go buy another one with the voucher.  But I had to get series 4 through a collector shop, and it was the only one.

So if there is anyone who has picked up Cyborg (who's completely awesome btw) and has no interest on building Despero, please let me know.  Hopefully we can arrange some sort of appropriate cost for the arm.

Not that interesting a character, but I'm still happy to have it.  Any pics surface yet?

As a big DC fan, that's another great wave.  The only real head scratcher is Gentleman Ghost.  Kind of cool that they are doing a figure of him, but I'll admit that's one I never expected to see.  What I'm most excited about is the variants of the parademons.  Nice to see the Super Powers era represented again.  I normally don't care about variants, but would like to get both of them this time around.

With all the new gods figures in this series and the size of the C&C figures, the Darkseid from the old line is starting to look a bit tiny.  I wonder if they will ever revisit him.  The old one is awesome, but his scale seems a bit small now.

Nice looking figures.  But they really don't look anything like George Perez's stuff.

Pics have been shown of some upcoming 2-packs.  Has there been any word on when these are supposed to be released?  Also, are they Target exclusives, or are they supposed to have a wider release?

I would just like to see this line.  I have waves 1&2, and haven't seen anything else.  This line is really frustrating me, because I'm more interested in these figures then any other line right now.  But I can't find them anywhere.  I'm tempted to get them online, but am concerned about buying cases.  From wave 4, I want the regular wonder woman and the silver Capt. Atom.  I wouldn't want to order a case and risk getting stuck with the others (and still not have the ones I want).

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they are all going to be sold individually.
That way a year later they can make a box set with one new figure that you can only get in the box set. ;D

Not really my thing, but it is kind of cool (in a goofy way).

Has there been any announcement of a 4-LOM bust?  I haven't seen anything, but after putting out Dengar and Zuckuss last year I though 4-LOM would be appearing sooner rather then later.
I'm also hoping for a new Boba, cause there's no way I'll ever be able to get the current one.

I heard/read that it (Lobo) utilizes the upcoming Despero BAF body, so that's why he's larger in scale.  I'm sure they were looking for way to cut costs for a limited run exclusive like this, so that may be why.  He is a bit on the large side, that's for sure, but it is a pretty nice figure.
Just got my Lobo today, and man you guys weren't kidding.  He's freaking HUGE.  I haven't seen Grundy yet, but Lobo dwarfs Grodd.  It's a shame too, cause he's a fantastic figure other then that.  I suppose it bodes well for Despero that he will be that large - but if the C&C figures are going to be that big, it really messes up the scale of some of the other figures.  I know he's technically not part of the same line, but my Darkseid looks pretty tiny now.

I'm somewhat interested.  My main concern is obviously cost.  $20 a fig once a month doesn't seem too bad - until you add shipping into the mix.  Then I think you're looking at closer to $30 a month for a single figure.

And seeing Ambush Bug added to the DCUC line is a bizarrely fantastic choice.
Does anyone here remember "Mazing Man" (think that was his name).  I doubt we would see him - but I would buy it.
