Wal-Mart Exclusive DCUC Crime Syndicate of America 5-Pack Found At Retail For $80


The Wire

Recommended Posts

Found at bought the box-set yesterday at WalMart.

 

Despite my misgivings about the price, it's a GREAT set! OWL-MAN, in particular, may be the best DCUC figure ever made.

 

Mine has the ULTRA-MAN with the unpainted, blue neck - no big deal, really.

 

One other thing...SUPER-WOMAN's left arm is frozen, and has no tricep swivel. I've heard this in 1-2 other cases, so be on the lookout. Her should rotates, so not a deal-breaker.

I really want this pack bad, I can't wait....ugghhhhh, so close, so very close.

 

Since this has hit I have been watching the Crisis on Two Earths movie everyday for the past 5 days. After watching it this time around I really like the voices of both Owlman and Batman in the film, I think originally I didn't like them. I really dig Batman's voice now. I really hope they make some decent DC movies soon, the All Star Superman and recent GL film were ok, not bad but not great or as good as they were awhile ago.

 

Ultraman vs Bizarro.........who would win?

No contest, Ultra-Man. He's evil not stupid. He'd probably have Bizarro fooled into working for him, then they'd both jump Superman.

 

In my book, Crisis goes right up there as one of the best of the DCA Movies. I thought Harmon did an awesome job as Superman, and Black Canary's "Wanna here a secret?" bit is still my favorite scene. And Gina Torres? As hot is she is in live action, her sultry little voice is just... wow. Great choice for a bad-girl like Super Woman.

 

As for good movies... Batman Year One (featuring the one of a kind vocal stylings of Eliza Dushku... as CATWOMAN no less), Justice League: Doom (featuring the Legion of Doom), and Superman vs, the Elite? I'm not to worried about it.

 

Oh yeah, aren't they also doing a little show with the initials "DKR?"

 

I knew of Batman Year One but I did not know of the Doom and Elite movies coming out, this sound promising. Gina Torres did a fantastic job as Superwoman, I love this movie, it does rank as one of their best, can't wait to watch it again tonight, only bad thing is if I can't get my box set tonight......stupid reset is taking forever. They should just like me pallet dive and call it a day.

 

Got me thinking with the end of DCUC, how the frak did we not get a Justice Lords box set, could you guys imagine a Justice Lords vs Crime Syndicate. The JL aren't evil like the Syndicate but the JL do kill so how would that work in a fight. We already know Superman is smarter than Ultraman but was mentioned that Ultraman has the rage thing, now imagine a Supes who doesn't hold back and kills..........that is a serious fight.

I freaked out about the Gotham 5-pack. And I freaked out about the GL 5-pack and actually ordered it from the WM website and had it shipped to the store. Both of those I later saw in abundance on clearance after the holidays.

 

I've learned my lesson. I'm not worried about finding this set.

I've already passed on this set at two of my Walmarts. A.) I just don't have the money right now. Still recovering from SDCC exclusives and Thundercats. B.) I only really want Owlman and Ultraman which makes the price even less tantalizing.

 

Truth be told, I've seen these packs in abundance everywhere. Yes, this will be the Gotham and GL pack all over again.

See, some of you guys are very lucky. In my area the Gotham pack and the GL pack both sold out quickly and was never restocked. I live in a collector/scalper heavy area so these items don't peg warm. I wish I had that luxury of finding these and they could sit without a problem. I have never let an item sit and returned to find it there again, not in Philadelphia.

Better one for ya. Ultra-Man vs. Superman. Nobody else, no interference, no good Luthor, no other Leaguer's/Crime Syndicate members, no civilians. Just the two most powerful guys on the planet, going at it for their lives.

 

Ultra-Man faces the one guy he can't intimidate into submission. Superman vs. the one guy he not only dosen't have to hold back with, but the one guy he can't afford to hold back with.

 

Like so many other Superman fights, its one that's never been allowed to reach its full potential.

 

 

That would be awesome, one writer wrote that Superman is more powerful and stronger than Ultraman because Ultraman kills all his guys right away, while Supes had to develop each and everytime with them. Ultraman though would not hold back, while Supes would still have to muster that up. It would be an amazing fight.

I found this set at a walmart near by me. They only had three but they were only charging 74.88 for'm. So its actually cheaper than buying 5 seperate figures. The price made me want to get it even more but with all the other sales that have been going on ive bought more then i should have already. But man i was seriously considering it. Its an awesome set. I really hope they stick around long enough to go on clearance like the last two box sets did in my area.

I've seen this set around a few different Wal-Marts before they did their resets. I'm really looking to get Owl-Man, so the price is a little too extreme for me to jump on just yet. Hopefully they will be around long enough to hit clearance an I'll be able to pick up the set. Otherwise, I may have to pass.

Anyone needing this set, keep your eyes on Walmart.com. They have this listed as out of stock right now, but that could change anyday now.

 

Also, on their website, you check stores in the area for availability, it's better than going from store to store looking. I did that and turns out one store near my parent's place had them, went and got me a set this morning! :D

$80 is very steep...especially in these tough times...i know everything is going up...but if these prices dont drop then these retailers will not carry these lines because they cannot sell them. I saw a bunch of DCU and GLC on clearance at my local Wallyworld today.

Ok so I found the 5pk sittin on the shelf at wally world, 3 of them for 21.88. The item was misstocked, so I went to the check out and had them go thru the price check process, me playing the ignorant merchant arguing over the situation, the assistant manger said he couldn't do a $50 difference, so after negotians I got it for $40. Not a bad deal not the 21.88 bu def not the 74.88 so I'm happy. What's funny is the tag was for the young justice figs, who were sitting on shelf on a tag that said 15.96 lol, so 2x now I've gotten good deals because of wallys mistakes
