I just found the Atom/Plastic Man @ Ross tonight. They said that was the only ONE pack they got in - and they got it very recently.

I found THREE of them at Wal-Mart and just picked up GL, Batman and the Orange Lantern. No sign of Plastic Man and Atom - but even better, the packs were only $4 each!

So they only had 3 packs, 1 of each and you picked em all up....on clearance even? Awesome! I checked Walmart too and they had em on clearance, but the Martian Manhunter wave only. I mentioned Ross only having one pack because I found it strange, yet I was assured thats how it arrived. And it seemed to be the case @ 2 different stores. Its not very optimistic sounding to know they could get one pack at a time.

They had eight packs on the shelves when I went on Friday - 2 GL, 2 OL, Bats & Sub, Akrillo & Sinestro, Deadman & Martian Manhunter, Bats & Bronze Tiger. I grabbed the three I didn't own for $4 each and left the others.
I might go back today to see if they found anymore, but it is a pretty terrible Wal-Mart.
So... I AM PUTTING A BOUNTY OUT ON ATOM & PLASTIC MAN! If you find an extra set, let me know! Atom is NOT escaping me again. He is the only whole in my AL collection.

Quick thoughts on the newest series..
GL & Cannon - The cannon is nice, but GL is yet ANOTHER repack. I think I own six of this guy (and like 9 counting variants). The green plastic used is different from the movie constructs.
Larfleeze & Globus - Larfleeze looks great, and his lantern is no removable. Has some balancing issues. Globus (I think) is a neat construct/character, but I have no idea how hes supposed to fit on Larfleeze's hand.
Batman with Aquabat - Batman is all new - and done in his first appearance colors, thanks purple gloves. I think his head got changed because it is way too small - his helmet just topples off. The claw-launcher is springloaded and looks great with Black Manta. Oh, and Batman CANNOT stand by himself.
Still haven't found Atom & Plastic Man...

Guess who can't stand on his own and doesn't come with a base? Batman. Full review: jestergoblin.com/?p=13811Final verdict: don't buy.
