DC Comics Classic TV Series Batman and Robin 2-Pack Available Now on Amazon

If you’ve been waiting for Mattel’s Batman Classic TV Series line to become available, Amazon now has the Batman and Robin 2-pack in stock for $29.99. That’s a bit early, since they had been showing with an August 1 availability date during pre-orders.

Maybe it’s just semantics, because while the 2-pack shows in stock, the listing says it may take one or two days extra to process. As Robin would say, “Holy six of one, half dozen of the other, Batman!” You’re right. Robin would never say that.

Snikt! 99-Cent Wolverine Comics Sale this Weekend

I remember when comics cost a buck, but now that’s the sales price! [/Old Man Logan rant]

Marvel.com has 75 digital issues of the Wolverine comic book series up for sale this weekend, to celebrate the release of The Wolverine to theaters. This includes the much lauded Old Man Logan arc, including the Giant-Sized Old-Man Logan one-shot, in case you want some real Old Man Logan ranting.

And if you happen to be going to the movies this weekend, if you order your tickets to The Wolverine through Fandango, they’ve posted a promo for a digital download for the comic book.

Hasbro Star Wars Black Series Wave 2 Pre-Orders Are Up

I wasn’t lucky enough to find the first wave of the Star Wars Black Series, but while these aren’t the figures I’m (currently) looking for, you can pre-order the second wave of figures now. Cases of Star Wars Black Series Wave 2 are up for pre-order at Entertainment Earth and BigBadToyStore for $79.99.

Since there’s no army-builder like the Sandtrooper in this wave, cases (which are evenly packed with one of each figure) may be the way to go. But if you want to order them individually, then BBTS has listings for Han, Leia, Greedo, and Boba Fett (although he is already pre-sold out.) Both venues list wave 2 as coming in November this year.

Hasbro Star Wars Black Series Buy One Get One Half Off at ToysRUs.com

Update: Looks like the Star Wars Black Series figures are now out of stock or have been removed from the TRU system.

I guess with the launch of Hasbro’s Star Wars Black Series being imminent, more of the online retailers are starting to promote them. I was talking to Sandman last night about Amazon reducing its price on Star Wars Black Series figures to $19.99, when he pointed out that TRU is running a Buy One Get 50% Off deal on Star Wars. Like Amazon, each figure is $19.99.

One catch is that is that each of the 6-inch figures is limited to one per order – so if you are looking to army-build Sandtroopers, you need to split up your orders. For example, you could get 3 Sandtroopers by placing separate orders for Luke, Darth Maul, and R2-D2, getting the 50% off deal on each order but adding a bit extra on the shipping side. I went through the exercise and I still saved about $15 even with the extra shipping vs. Amazon. Sandman also did a comparison with Star Wars Black Series at HasbroToyShop – there’s a 10% off coupon there, but if you’re buying a set of four this TRU deal still wins.

Another downside is that pre-orders at TRU are now moving out on ship date. Mine showed as 9/3, so I’m still toying with going back to Amazon if they’ll ship sooner. First world problems!
