Jon, I got mine on eBay.
Action figures were selling strong. I picked up a Giles figure (with book and axe as accessories) for $12. Most of the figures were $20. A "wolfy" Oz (still with guitar accessory) was $30. Anya in a bunny suit has now shot up to $60. Two more series of figures are due to be released; beyond that, the dealer didn't know what was going to happen.
I'll have to check the MAC site, but AtS season 2 figures (Wesley, Darla, and the Host) are due to be released this month. Shit. I have to preorder my case of Wesleys.
Closest thing we have to a comic thread...
Reality TV veteran Bruce Nash ("Meet My Folks") has teamed with comic book king Stan Lee to search for the next big superhero.
The mild-mannered duo will swing through town next week, pitching a fantasy-meets-reality show to the networks.
The project will begin with an open call, a la "American Idol," for contestants who have created their own idea for a superhero. Dressed as their creation, participants will be judged by a panel of celebrities who have played heroes in the past (think Lynda Carter ).

On that note, who reads Lucifer? I glanced through the first TPB and it looked well-written.
Ms Havisham reads it, I'll see if I can lure her here.

It was, once, but it's gotten dull. I don't know why I cling to it.
I'm wondering if the writing is intentionally mirroring the motif of the Fall, going from glorious brilliance (the miniseries that preceded the regular book) to pointless misery (the current storyline).
Jon, sorry it took me so long to get back to you about the Spike action figure. None were available from my source, though if you're in the market for Little Nicky figurines I can set you up.

I don't know, I just picked up on the thing and am going back through the back issues. There seems to be a lot being set up for the coming storylines. But maybe that's just because I'm catching on. I was happy to fill in a missing spot in the run by picking up #24 at MegaCon for a buck.
In fact, I just read an enthusiastic review over at Sequential Tart in their review of Vertigo's 10th anniversary, Read This or Die. The reviewer said that this was the first time she was reading the new issues while she was catching up with the trades, before she even caught up.

Thanks for looking! Much appreciated.
Oh, no! I really liked the first few Lucifer TPBs...
Like its protagonist, the series just keeps getting worse and worse as time goes on.
