Curses Michael! You found them, lucky man!
If the set of 3 3 packs ever shows again, keep me in mind. I'll love you forever, and line your pockets with gold!
Gold, I tells ya!!!

These things are a pain to find in Ohio...

---

I'll let you know. I still haven't found the pack with Cheetah in it. And I've never found the Batman Beyond pack locally. Only was able to find it while visiting friends upstate.

I kinda want a Lady Blackhawk in the JLU style, even though only her costume has appeared on-screen.

Michael- I go to 3 of our Targets at least once every week. I've found 1 Batman Beyond 3-pack. It seemed like a mirage when I saw it. Just floored me.
...and that's it.

got my Cheetah 3-pack from ebay. Didn't feel as bad, cuz I got the Batman Beyond pack before the prices went up, so I guess it balances out. My brother looks for me in Conneticut at his Target. He's found nothin.

sigh.
Maybe I'll get lucky one day, but it's at the point where I think I need to network more.

and don't get me started on the Walmart Dc Universe figures!
Aargh!
What a pain!

If you're talking about the Crisis figures that are about 3 1/2" tall(tiny) you might want to check out 99 Cents Only stores.  I don't really collect them but for .99  each I picked up Wildcat, Batman, Power Girl, Sapphire, Guy Gardner & Captain Marvel.

I also saw Reverse Flash, the Question, the Atom, some pink skinned villain and some other villain from Crisis that I can't remember.

aww man.. 99 cents? I'd so buy those for my kid. Even though they really really stink. But for a dollar, that's about right.

No, these are the larger figures. Walmart has wave 10, with Joker, Robot man, Beast boy, Forager, Power Girl, Man Bat, and Batman.
One day, they will be mine. DAMN YOU, WALMART!!!!!!!!!!

sigh.
I'm getting to old for this s**t.

I would certainly never argue that they compare to the wide variety of 7" figures being put out right now and generally speaking I don't actually care for the small figures but somehow these little guys just work. 

I will say that they are much nicer out of the package.  They are well articulated(neck, shoulder, elbow, waist, hip, knee) and pretty accurate/well sculpted.  Obviously for .99 it was a no-brainer especially since I really can't afford to buy any of the other cool stuff that's out there.  But I would have no problem with these at $3.99.  I'm sure they go for $6.99 or more at Toys R Us or wherever but they are a nice modern representation of my old Mego pocket heroes(which are all gone<sigh>).

Dave, at least there is some slim chance that you might happen upon some Wave 10 figures in the course of your travels. Here in Canada I was politely given the finger by Wal Mart customer service when I sent them an e-mail to inquire as to their availability here in the Great White.

LOVE that Spider-Man, but I've never been a fan of Iron Man w/ six-pack abs on his armor.
