Will you be buying the DC All Star Wave figures?

Okay, here is the new poll. Come April 1st, we'll have another one up as well.

We've now seen images and selection for the first two waves of the DC All Stars, which is replacing DCUC in retail, with DCUC figures ending up in the
sub line at Matty.

Here is the question then.

Are you buying any of the new DC All Star figures at retail?

I may pick up one or two if I can find them in person or work out a trade. I wont be buying a case or complete set online though.

Not good. Out of the three waves I plan on getting 3 figures--Larfleeze and Superboy Prime, maybe Red Robin but now I hear he's not in wave 3 anymore. With no CnC there's no need for me to buy the DCnU costumes.

Yeah without the CnC I don't need or want all of the figures.

They're killing the line for sure with this. Eliminating the CnC is making it unnecessary to buy the whole set...thus peg warming galore and the line doesn't move forward. I think we've seen the end of the line - if this goes past Wave 2 I'll be pretty surprised. Then again in my area they're three waves behind at this point, so who knows?

Not really interested in anything I've seen. If I happen to see one I want in person on the pegs I may bite, otherwise I'm pretty much done.

I've no idea why they're returning to this Batman-Superman-centric thinking when DCSH barely made it to six waves and DCUC went 20! The variety was what made DCUC so successful. Mattel is trying to fix what wasn't broken. Shame. That's why I've been building up my DCUC fodder for customs, because I don't see a good future for the retail line.
