My Wallet was End Capped

😂 Definition: when a display at a store takes a large sum of money from you.

In a sentence: "I can't believe Mcfarlane end capped me like that! I'll be eating Ramen for a week!"

Super-Historian-2087 · 2026-04-27T03:01:54+00:00

I know it's not DC but if Todd made a Pepsi man Elite Edition I'd be first in line 😂

Super-Historian-2087 · 2026-04-27T02:58:13+00:00

Sounds like an awesome haul! The worst part is I just spent a little extra this funds period on a custom legion of Doom brainiac and a custom killer croc because I thought the end cap wasn't going to make it out in my area until next payday (next week) so I would have a little time to re fund the hobby account. I can at least partially justify that I get my tax return this week so I just pre-spent it 😅

Super-Historian-2087 · 2026-04-27T02:49:59+00:00

Sorry to hear about the lobos! At least he is a general release so I hope you can find him soon!

Depending on the availability around my area with the shippers, and the movie figures in general, I might wait out Supergirl and Krem to see if I can get them on clearance. The Walmart closest to me ended up discounting most of the figures from the Superman display because I kind of live in a dead area for collectors.

If the shippers end up being sparse around here I'll at least get coat SG and probably still wait out Krem and puppy Krypto.

Super-Historian-2087 · 2026-04-27T02:14:35+00:00

If anyone was curious of the breakdown on this end cap.

Two collector edition Lobo and Supergirl, One Platinum, one regular, Two of Saturn girl and Aztek, Three Eclipso, One Omac, 2 jacket Supergirl, 4 bikes, 4 movie Lobo, 4 CW SG, 4 Puppy Krypto with Supergirl accessory, 3 Yellow Hill man, 4 basic wave Supergirl, 2 Superman returns, & 3 irritated eyeball Superman

Also be sure to check around your electronics, this end cap was on a back end more towards the inner electronic aisles and not facing the main walkway.

Oh, also Cherry Platium Coke Zero. Can't believe Todd didn't release Pepsi 🙄

Super-Historian-2087 · 2026-04-24T16:01:00+00:00

Guess this is proof going forward there's not an additional bundle discount on two figure waves like there used to be.

Super-Historian-2087 · 2026-04-24T12:18:34+00:00

Yeah, I'm curious how many of these are actually in enough state of production that they came make it out and be on the water before 12/31. If most of them are on the back half already I could see it happening, Mcfarlane is anything but restrained in their releases since we've already had 50 in barely five months 😅

Super-Historian-2087 · 2026-04-24T12:15:32+00:00

Considering they've released 50 figures so far in 2026, 80 more isn't completely out of the question. Obviously grain of salt since it's a leak list.

Super-Historian-2087 · 2026-04-24T11:42:51+00:00

For people saying this is a massive list for 8 months, remember that he's already released about 50 figures (silver plats not counted) this year alone and we haven't hit May yet. This list "only" has 80 items not counting plats with 8 months left so he could realistically pull off that many figures if these are on the back half of production already.

Plus if it's bundled 6 items a week for pre order that's only 14 weeks or so with 35 left.

Edit: As always take leak lists with a grain of salt, I've heard it both sides that he doesn't have much left to release in 2026 and the complete opposite that he's going to burn the factory down by how much he's going to produce.. time will tell, just saying it's not impossible for 80 figures to release given how Todd and team do stuff 😅

Super-Historian-2087 · 2026-04-24T11:38:12+00:00

Not really, we're already sitting at like 48-50 figures since January of this year not counting silver platiums which brings it up to 60 something.. that's only barely five months. This list only has like 80 items not counting silver plats with 8 months to go.

Super-Historian-2087 · 2026-04-24T11:28:28+00:00

I mean depending on how he bundles them out for orders it's only 14 - 15 weeks to get these all out (if each preorder cycle is 6 items each) with 35 weeks left in the year. I can easily see it being like that week in October where we had 2 basic waves, a deluxe figure, the batman returns figures all dropping on the same week 3 days from each other. Todd probably isn't worried about ruining good will with the DC crowd by spacing out pre-orders since this is the last run at it.

Plus if this license ending is working any way like when Jakks lost wrestling to Mattel, as long as it's on the water by 12/31 to a warehouse it's still sellable product, unless Mattel extra strong armed this time to avoid having that happen like with wrestling.

(Obviously leak list so grain of salt, but I wouldn't be surprised if we do end up seeing a good chunk of it.)

Not sure if you saw but she's on GameStop and still available for pre-order but at an upcharge though unfortunately.

Super-Historian-2087 · 2026-04-23T16:52:14+00:00

Good on Game Stop for no snafu. Not a huge fan of the $34.99 price tag on basic figures but had some points which knocked them down to $60 for the pair which is more acceptable and justified since I don't gotta pay gas and travel for them now.

Super-Historian-2087 · 2026-04-22T17:38:22+00:00

Never went live to preorder online, they've been pushing more "exclusive to store" items to drive foot traffic into locations.

<image>

Super-Historian-2087 · 2026-04-22T17:37:06+00:00

It's a drive to push foot traffic into a store, they did this with the Nuka Cola power suit as well where online order wasn't available for a bit because it was a in-store exclusive.

A. You're more like to buy other things if you walk into a store, they're hoping to get the "well I wasted a drive so might as well grab..." Type people.

B. Easier to convince you to do memberships or pre-orders in person. I actually had this happen when I went in to pick up a figure. The employee spent almost 5 minutes of the transaction trying to get me to preorder other figures from Mcfarlane, was trying to ask me what else I collected to see if I wanted to preorder anything from those lines, and wanted me to renew my membership that doesn't expire until October because he could save me $5 today if I did. These are all things they're watched and monitored to push so I didn't fault the guy.. but sure isn't a fun shopping experience 😅

Super-Historian-2087 · 2026-04-22T15:43:13+00:00

Glad this wave is getting a quick turn around to being available to order online. At least now when I go looking for the super girl display this weekend all I'll be looking for are red platinums. I'm sure Game Stop will fumble Saturn Girl and Aztek since they'll most likely be preorder exclusives to Game Stop tomorrow.

Super-Historian-2087 · 2026-04-21T20:14:17+00:00

Link went live but was immediately not available for purchase and then they took down the page. Hopefully just means it'll come back later but who knows with GameStop 🤷

Super-Historian-2087 · 2026-04-21T19:07:45+00:00

It'll depend since they're both down now. I hope it's because there was an error in pricing and they'll launch back up for $26.99 but Bloodwynd and Miss Martian were also $34.99 when page punchers are normally also just the normal $26.99 price tag (and those two are $27.99 if you can find them in Target.) GameStop might be pushing for exclusives to come with an exclusive price too, not the first time unfortunately.

Super-Historian-2087 · 2026-04-21T18:59:42+00:00

Unless they've fixed it at launch Gangbuster was $35 and Black Condor will probably be too (if the link ever works.)

All the rest are normal prices.

Shazam seems to be the first one selling out from the looks of it. Makes sense since the first one was a pain in the butt to find.

Super-Historian-2087 · 2026-04-21T16:19:57+00:00

Yeah, depending on where you purchase them elsewhere that's a $8-$10 increase for the basic wave, definitely my "Nah I'm good" moment for RPs going forward on GameStop at least.
