Those trucks aren’t much more helpful in real life.
And you’re right about the dual Captains Cold…
It seems the 2 Colds are a common TRU feature.
Oh good, I need Killer Moth and Captain Marvel. Nice try with the sarcasm, though.
LOL. If you really need those, I can hook you up.
Those trucks mock me….
Do you ever see them on the road and feel the same way?
EVERY TIME!!!
Me too. KT makes fun of me.
seriously, the truck humor hurts. if ONLY they could talk!! we need a spy. that’s what we need, we need a distributor for walmart who’s an action figure and actively guerilla reporting on shipping manifests and destinations and quantities. and ordering procedure, if there be such a beast. someone not afraid to take on the retail juggernaut.
If someone could just tell me where the distro lines are, I’d be happy. Like which Walmarts are served by which centers? It’d save me lots of driving!
This might be an odd question…but you photoshopped the Target and TRU logos, right?
Great cartoon BTW!
Thanks!
And, yes, that’s just my Wally Hauler three time over with some Photoshop. But! I’d happily buy real versions of a Target or TRU truck in that style.
I think it harkens back to the big toy trucks you could get as a kid. Like the Wonder Bread truck or the WalMart truck.
That is so… Damn… Funny!! cause it’s true! thus the aptly named website.
And before you other posters organize a lynch-mob against me, bear in mind that I’m
not mocking your frustration, I collect too, and I feel your pain. But at some point you have to sit back and laugh at just how worked up we collectors get when it comes to (dare I say it) a chunk of articulated plastic.
Hiya Chris!
That’s exactly how we look at it. We try, but don’t always succeed, to keep it light and fun in here. 😀
Well, except Mr. Rant. He’s always serious. Deadly serious.
Oh believe I was laughing at myself yesterday, that I’m a grown man and I was irritated I couldn’t find something.
I was in a KB Toys a few years back, holding a Grifter figure just looking at the back of the card when another collector approached me and offered me twenty bucks not to buy the figure. I told him I wasn’t going to and handed it over to him but he slipped me the $20 anyway saying, “I was totally serious, here ya go.” I guess he really liked Grifter….
I don’t think I could pay extra right there like that, but I buy stuff on eBay so it’s not that different.
Seriously, why are there 2 Captain Colds at every TRU?
I don’t know, but it makes me wonder about the future of the other Rogues.
Hahaha… it’s funny ‘cuz it’s true. I find the Capt at my local Target & Wal-mart. TRU usually has one DCUC on the shelf, last week it was Shazam. But, I did find the Gotham City 5 at my local Wal-mart. Legion of Doom Luthor, yeah baby! Happy hunting!
I’m the glad the 5pk turned out to be easy, now if Wave 9 would do the same…
Tee-Hee.
How come all of the Targets suddenly all received a full set of Wave 7? And here I am walking in getting all excited because I am still missing 4 characters from wave 8 and I am not even going to mention wave 9. Grrr!

Ours did that too. Very frustrating.
