Peg Report

*DC Direct's new Alex Ross Justice League series has shipped from Diamond. Check your local comic shops.

*Marvel Select's Zombie Spider-Man and Colonel America have hit nationwide. Prices look to be around $17.99-$19.99 at local comic shops and $17.99 at Hot Topic

*NECA's new 18" Michael Myers has started to hit retail. $39.99 at Hot Topic but get there quick or call and reserve them because reports indicate that they're only getting from 1-4 of this item at a time. The 7" version of this figure should easily be found at Spencer's or you local Transworld location. (FYE, Suncoast, etc.)

*There are also a new confirmed casepack for Cult Classics 6 hitting stores. Solid cases (12 figs to a case) of David are hitting Hot Topics in addition to the Ash, Michael/David and mix cases. NECA states via MySpace differently.

Re: CC Assortments
I have seen a lot of questions or comments on the case assortments for this line. We changed it up this year for a few good reasons. Some retailers dont want all the figures offered in what would be the "assortment" or in some cases certain retailers want a lot more of The Lost Boys vs. Krishna Zombie or Ash so we allowed orders to be placed for individual figures in solid case packs. The Lost Boys are packed assorted since they are from the same film and go together but the case packs are weighted heavier with David as you can imagine. Basically we tailor made the case assortments so stores can order as much or as little of any of the figures from this set.

We did the same with HOF this year as well. The SAW figures are sold in an assortment and then Leatherface and Zombie Ed are sold in their own solid case packs. It also helped us that we have the figures and tools at many different factories so we can keep the production schedules effecient and constantly have new figures shipping each week. Believe it or not the figures in CC6 and CC HOF are being manufactured at 3 different factories yet they are all hitting stores around the same time and all have the same packaging style and format. It's the first time we have attempted this and if the retail response continues to be this strong we will probably continue this method for the CC line at least.
