In a move that's going to make many a DC Universe Classics collector happy (and many a scalper sad), Mattel has announced that the elusive (and long ago reviewed) Wal-Mart exclusive Wave 5 will be rereleased on MattyCollector.com on May 17th.
You can find all the details straight from Mattel after the jump.
Matty:
DCU Fans,
Back in 2008, we released Wave 5, which was an instant success and subsequently pretty hard to find. If you missed your chance, mark May 17th on your calendar, because Wave 5 is coming back!
This release is identical to the one in 2008 − same package, same decos, not a single change to the figures. Like all our boxed sets, these are individually carded figures packed into a single box. The set has the five figures you need to build a 9” Collect and Connect™ Metallo figure. Take a look inside and you’ll find these classic characters ready to rock your collection:
Eradicator, Black Lightning, Amazo, The Riddler, & The Atom
It actually seems like Mattel is listening and doing something that's actually nice for fans. I just hope that for those of you trying to obtain this set, there isn't an absolute collapse of MattyCollector.com.
