If the Harvey Dent and Survival suit Bruce Wayne (to be followed soon by jail cell Joker, I'm sure) are sold out, how are they going to be available at TRU later this year?

Lol that is a great question. The logical answer is that Matty only set aside a certain amount to sell online and saved the rest for TRU. To sell a line at TRu, I'm sure the store has regulation of a certain amount that must be available to distribute evenly to their stores. I'm sure Matty would have rather sold them on their site and made more money by cutting out the middle man, but they probably had to keep it to a limited number online. Or maybe they're just creating a scare to make them more rare and popular? I'm not in the toy biz so who knows at this point. That is a valid question though.

probably they will just be on the pegs.

Good points, my friend. And that's just it - none of this makes sense from any perspective. Why scare us? We already know the production runs are limited. Why bring in a middleman if more profit is to be made on their own? That's not good business. When the official announcement was made that TRU would carry the line (and the cost was dropping from $20 to $15), "Matty" said that they had increased production numbers, but to what end, if they're still going to be so limited? I don't like having to struggle for something that's really nothing more than a hobby, but it's been just that for at least the last three years...

I THINK THE CHALLENGE IS FINDING THEM AT TOYS R US, I KNOW MINE IS NOT THAT RELIABLE, MY TRU RARELY STOCKS DCU FIGS AND WHEN THEY DO IT IS ONE CASE AND THEY ARE GONE (EXCEPT FOR THE SAME CAPT COLD THAT HAS BEEN THERE FOREVER, SOMEBODY BUY HIM WILL YA!?!?!?)

THEY STILL HAVE THE ORIG LINE ON THE PEGS MARKED DOWN TO $4.98, I AM SURE THAT IS TO CLEAR THE PEGS. SO I AM HOPING TO FIND THESE ON THE PEGS THIS SPRING. I CAN ONLY HOPE TO OBTAIN THEM THERE AS I TOO WAS SUPRISED HOW QUICKLY THEY WENT!

These are finding their way to Toysrus,not mine but I guess the made it.
