Not enough to get all of them -- especially since a lot of them are repaints! -- but I did pick up one of those Wal-Mart exclusive War Machines a few weeks ago. He was the only figure they had! Ro: Ah yes, you mean <a href="http://www.dccomics.com/dcdirect/?dcd=5482" rel="nofollow">the DCD Re Activated Series 1 Superman</a>! I've seen tons of those with broken hands as well, which is a shame -- with his hands attached, he's my favorite Superman figure to date. I was able to return the broken Bats, but unfortunately TRU was sold out of them so I couldn't get a replacement. Oh well -- I'm sure I'll run into those figures again at some point. And if not, I can always put that money towards a <i>Chronicles of Narnia</i> Aslan figure! :D De: Yeah, I like the Iron Man figures.

I'm sure you will be able to return the figure but if you can't you could always make a new Batman. Maybe out of some spare parts from other broken figures. That would be pretty cool.

T.A.B and I were in a toy store a few weeks ago and we came across a bunch of Superman action figures that all had their right hands missing. Some of the hands were on the bottom of the box. I don't recall how much they were but I think they were fairly cheap. Anyhow I'm sure you will be able to ret if you can't return the figure, you can make a new Batman figure. That would be cool.

Had to go to Ikea to buy a bed. It's probably just as well; I would have likely bought a ton of the new Batman and Indiana Jones figures. I'm a weak weak man. On the bright side, the Iron Man figures are pretty darn cool. I didn't venture into any toy-selling retail shops over the weekend. Had to go to Ikea to buy a bed.
