First the variant or error

Some of the first flash 3 packs have a set 1 and others say it is set 2

Now for the RANT:

I completely understand releasing some of the 3 pack figures as singles (like green arrow and superman)

But what I don't understand is releasing the same figure twice as a single carded figure. Batman was released as #11 and now again #26 hte exact same figure. So for carded collectors they have to buy the same figure twice or you have a hole in the set. What a joke.

And NOT releasing the gotham 6 pack is a joke.

I really like the figures but if I can't find the gotham patrol set soon I'm going to sell all of mine off.

Personally I'd be happy if I could find any Infinite Heroes other than friggin Adam Strange and Guy Gardner.

It does kinda suck though that it will leave a hole in the numbering for people who are doing that.

So true. I've seen the Battle for Metropolis set but it's about 30 dollars too much.

Looks like they are doing it again,
I found an Atom figure on a higher numbered card. So we get him twice ( exactly the same) with different numbers.

I also spoke with a Mattel rep today on the phone and she said that there is no mention anymore of the killer croc gathom patrol 6 pack.
She did mention that there will be at least 2 exclusive 6 packs and 1 will be a walmart exclusive latter this year. (she did not say what or who was in the pack)

Yeah the spacing on the release of these figures is pretty ridiculous. You can get a Guy Gardner as a single, in a two pack, and in a three pack all at the same time. Given the price on these I would have waited for the two pack to get Captain Marvel so that I wouldn't have had to hunt so much for Black Adam. And now I'll have to rebuy CM and Black Adam just to get a Mary Marvel. What a joke!

How is it that the JLU multi and single packs are handled so much better than DCIH?

Really? I thought the first release was supposed to be the Ryan Choi Atom, with the second being Ray Palmer.

No you won't have to. She is coming out as a single too.

From what I've seen they look exactly the same, I'll have side by side pics soon.

I spoke with a manager at TRU today and he has been told by higher managers that the TRU exclusive gotham 6 pack is only being sold at higher volumn stores. The closest to me is Rockford IL. about a 4 or 5 hour drive.

I really think is going to be the diamond of any infinite heroes collection.
Good luck and pick me up one if any of you find them : )
