So far, I have seen Flash and Hal Jordan as the most popular wants based on thread discussions. I think it is Hal Jordan who will likely be most sought after, followed by flash. With a 1/10 chance per Brick of pulling, prices will eb hard to predict.

Myself, I want Hal Jordan, Superman and Flash

So, predictions on prices and demand?

Probably Hal and Superman because of popularity of the characters. Flash probably too, but at least Flash is ridiculously good.

Donna Troy and Flash are the best as far as playability goes.

Ice and Animal man are going to be the "damn I got that as my WL in my brick?!?!"(SAD FACE)

Prices for most of them are not going for chase prices, and that's even before the set is out, so that says that they are not going to be ridiculously hard to get, or pricey.

Hal/Supes probably settle at $30-$40
Flash $25-$30
Ice/Animal Man $15
The rest $20-$25

I never did think of surfing around for them. I may resign myself to buying hal if I don't pull him. I agree, Donna and flash are sick play wise/

Hey, I'm a JLI fanboy, and I actually hope I get WL Ice in my brick. :)

Looking forward to Ice and Supes. The rest, I'm rather meh, but I won't be upset.

Superman and Superboy are what I'm after. From initial look at the market they're at a total of $80 (SM 50 and SB 30).

I kinda like Ollie, and definitely Flash. I wanted Ice at first, but the regular one plus the LE of Ice Maiden makes me content to part with her. The rest will depend on just how nice the sculpt is. But, if I get Supes or Hal, I'll be able to recoup some of the cost of my case, plain and simple.

Looks like one of the cases out there at Supes and Hal in the same case. My judge and I both got exact identical cases, and both got Supes and Hal as our WL.

I might have undervalued the WL. I believe the 1 per brick rarity will also cause 75th boosters to keep their value/demand.

If you see a brick opened at the store, and someone buys 3 packs and don't get a WL or a SR, you know the rest of that brick has to have something good.

Have to agree with you there.

Also, I hope to get that case. It would pretty much pay for half of it right there.

i have seen Superman going for the most, as much as in the $50 range

Hal Jordan in second in the $40-45 range

Flash is up there too

unfortunately those are all the ones i want most, though i was lucky enough to pull Flash in my case :)

In my experience/research, Hal Jordan seems to be the highest in demand, followed closely by Superman and the Flash, who are both almost tied for second, but on average, Superman seems to take a slight lead over Flash Pricewise.

This is what I've seen
Hal Jordan $50-$55 (once seen as high as $69.99, and as low as $40)
Superman $40-$50 (usually closer to $45)
Flash $40-$45 (a few times breaking the $45-$50 mark)

The others are as follows (according to my most recent Ebay searches)

Wonder Woman ($35-$45) (seems to be hitting $45 pretty easily in the past few auctions)

Green Lantern $30-$35 (seems pretty solid and stabilized in this price range)

Bart Allen, Donna Troy $25-$30 (with some exceptions of both hitting higher prices on Buy it Now auctions)

SuperBoy $25 (pretty steady here, haven't seen many that are higher or lower)

Animal Man $20-$25

Ice $15-$20

That's pretty much what I've seen. So Ice and Animal are in the medium SR range, while the other moderate WL's are slightly better, probably in the same range as the more highly sought after SR's like Sinestro.

I can definitely back this up. Buddy of mine bought a case and those were his WLs. We were both pretty happy soon afterwards lol.

I bought 2 cases. One had WL Flash and WL Donna and I agree they're very playable. The other case had WL Supes and WL Flash. Not only that but Sinestro, Bane, Doomsday were some of the SR's. Out of my 2 cases I only doubled up on Batman and Doomsday. I got 3 Batman figs now. I bought 3 boosters when the set came out pulled WL Hal 1st booster and Batman.
I've seen Hal sell for $99.99 twice I believe and a few $60-70. Here's the official E-Bay sell averages. If you go to sell an item you can look up the average of what it's sold for.
W-1 Ice $20.91
W-2 Bart $23.26
W-3 Donna $29.50
w-4 Hal $54.10
w-5 Animal $24.58
w-6 Superman $46.86
w-7 Flash $44.56
w-8 Wonder Woman $35.82
w-9 Superboy $27.67
w-10 Green Arrow $33.94
These are averages from auctions not stores and I'm not sure if BIN are included. Hal's would be higher looking at his numbers. Even his auctions all ended in the $50's.

I had 2 of my 4 cases have Supes and Hal. The Super Rares were different though. I actually would have preferred they were identical since I already had all the Super Rares, I pulled all the Super Rares in my 1st 3 cases, didn't have to trade to acquire them actuallly pulled them all. My 1st Hal/Kal case had Sinestro, Ares, Doomsday, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern(Allan) I believe. My 2nd Hal/Kal case didn't have Sinestro or Ares. I was pleased don't get me wrong.
Today my bro and I pulled Green Arrow and Flash. I'm thinking I should sell them. At least Flash since it's my 3rd. Does anybody think holding onto the White Lanterns is a good idea or sell now while they're "hot"? I have extra of the following:
Superman, Flashx2, Animal Man, Donna, Green Arrow
I still need Bart and Donna. Was considering working on a second set even while I'm finishing up set number 1.

Jarimy123
01/03/2011, 16:52
I can't figure out if people should hold onto them or sell them. I didn't think they would go up this far in value, and from all indications (number of ones for sale on ebay at any given time, and also amount being dealt on here) I don't think they are going down in price any time soon - and it almost seems like could go up. At the same time they are selling for good amounts of $ right now, and if you don't want them, it's probably less of a gamble to sell them now rather then hold onto them.

Who knows, they have baffled the most experienced traders on here, I was way off.

I just got another case for my B-Day. Now I'm torn on whether I want to open it. I still need Bart and WW. The last case I wasn't gonna open had Hal and Supes. I wonder if White Lanterns were made like chases for prize support and such. For instance will there be a future event where a set of WLs is the prize? Or will they be available like other chases in individual packaging. Like when chases were given out with cases during the time inbetween Topps and Wizkids. I have quite a few extras now.

One thing is for certain: Wl's have devalued the SR's. I offered a Bane for a WL Ice and was told no, even though he needed Bane,

ON top of that, the High end SR's are wort what the middle WL's are worth

I agree,... I NEVER see such low prices on SR's this early. I assumed that all SR's started at 20 dollars with the higher end going up to 30 (Ares, Doomsday, Sinestro) and the lowest would be 10 (wonder twins)

but looking at ebay every SR is at 10-15 with a few exceptions Doomsday, Sinestro which can be purchased at 20 or higher if people go for the buy it now price.

I talked to Ignatz and he had a valid point. everyone over bought DC75 to get the WL's and now have too many SR's. :ermm:

Yup. I traded a lot of my dupe SRs and selected dupe WLs for chases and colossals that I needed. Dupes are useful to have anyway....

01/04/2011, 09:42
The WLs are killing the SRs and CUR. Unlike the real chase figures that come 1 out of 4 or more bricks, you would have second thoughts of busting the whole brick. With the 1 per brick, people are prone to go for the brick knowing that they will get a WL. And since you need at least 10 bricks to complete the WLs, you tend to end up with a lot of SRs and CURs. The market is now flooded with them which explains the low prices. We did clamor for lower chase odds and this is what we get.

01/04/2011, 09:53
Just checked ebay and was surprised that on Dec 30, 4 WL Hal ended above $90 with one hitting $100. As for WL Superman, the last two completed transactions had him at $65. WOW!

01/04/2011, 10:19
Well this is all disheartening news. As a huge GL collector, I will eventually get the 10. I only have 3 now and was saving my 3 extra BL Chases to trade for them all when the prices leveled out.

Yep. Good God, WK/NECA should just adopt the Pokemon maxim and be done with it.

Still, the de-valued SRs worked out for me! Wanted three, and am now sitting pretty on ten! And many of those I traded older stuff for. Not too shabby!

Well, as someone who's been spending time on the other side of the bar, I cannot wait to complete my set of WLs or, more likely, learn to get along with something less than that.

I've made trades for WLs. The first was with a good friend here on the Realms and no sooner had he accepted my offer than suddenly, it seemed that the WL frenzy really kicked in, so the prices began a rapid climb. Seeing this, I felt compelled to add some things to the deal before sending the stuff out to show my appreciation and because, really, I felt that was the right thing to do.

More than getting a good deal, it's about the karma; I don't want anyone, here or at the venue where I play, ever to regret trading with me --- especially someone I consider a friend.

But besides that, there's the trouble I now find in the formulating of an offer for a WL. Holy crow...I'll sit here, quickly check my inventory against someone's wants and then, just when I think I've arrived at an offer that's in the other person's favor to motivate them to accept -- yet something I can live with -- I find myself dealing with the nagging feeling that it's still not enough, that someone else is going to top me...so I'd better go back and add more things. And so it goes...

I understand that the heart -- or habit -- ignores what the head comprehends. But there comes a point where no matter how much you think you want a figure -- a WL or The Next Big Thing (and rest assured that with each new set, there will be one), you have to be willing to say "This is fair, generous and enough."

If it's not enough for the other person, well...good luck with that. No hard feelings.:cool:

Hey Everyone,

I just noticed a strange trend in the tremendous demand for WL Hal Jordan. I know it's insane that he's been going for $90-$100, but if you do an Ebay search for Completed Listings, you'll see about half a dozen or so that went for $50-$65 in the past few days (then returned to $100 range most recently). I wonder why this drastic low spike. Do you think he'll drop again or maintain high prices??

Anyways, I initially traded my WL Hal Jordan for WL Flash and Superman SR + John Stewart R. That seemed to be a decent deal at first, but that was 2 weeks ago before Hal sky-rocketed up to $65-$100 range, while Flash remained in the $45-$60 range. Anyways, I finally got Hal Jordan back by trading away Superman WL and Guy Gardner R last night. So I'm happy to have WL Hal Jordan back. I'm also tempted to sell him to get some desperately needed cash.

Idk, do you guys see him dropping, rising or maintaining the same value?

Rahe Stone
01/04/2011, 12:58
I honestly think it is the lantern craze.

His trait makes him fit lantern teams, +1

He is a very popular green lantern +1

He has a playable dial, cracking his first click is nasty. +1

He is a 1/100 boosters piece, so he is gonna be costly and the chasers out there will want him +1

Demand for the set is high, and there might be a fear that prices will spike even further if the set sells out. +1

These and likely more factors have combined to form the demand, and the other white lanterns are getting similar treatment.

Still, in all honesty, I think WL flash is the best of them all for sheer power/cost ratio. If the set is sold out, it may be he will settle into a chase price category like the BL and all chases before.

Thrumble Funk
01/04/2011, 13:27
Idk, do you guys see him dropping, rising or maintaining the same value?

If you're going to sell him, I'd sell him now. Sure, he might rise SLIGHTLY in price, but every other chase (or chase-ish piece for you semanticicians) we've seen to this point seems to gradually fall in price.

If you're keeping him, keep him. Me? I'd toss him up for sale for $65 and see what happens.

01/04/2011, 13:30
Hal Jordan is getting a bit ridiculous, especially now that I'm even considering trading an E-2 Superman to get him. I'll hold out for a while (while supplies last), but he's definitely one to get for the Lantern fans.

I'd say that Superman and Flash are the next two White Lanterns that are in demand, followed by Donna Troy (Probability Control). After that, it's personal preferences: Superboy and Bart Allen (Teen Titans), Ice (JLI), Wonder Woman (Amazon), and Green Arrow (sharpshooter).

Animal Man seems to be the least desirable, and that's coming from a fan of Buddy Baker. The rare version actually looks to be more playable than the WL version. It's the cheapest WL piece, BUT his :m-boot: SP requires to copy powers/abilities from friendlies with a lower point value.

Jarimy123
01/04/2011, 14:41
Yea but Animal Man can copy from his rare version. I think they are both extremely playable, especially on the same team. Flash is by far the best. Like any Flash, or figure for that matter, you want to keep him towards the top - but man he is beastly. Everything you want in a piece. He's HSS/Super Strength brick figure-lite. Bullseye is his major enemy, but flash is probably getting first strike on him. I honestly thought I'd see him start to trend up higher then Hal just for the sheer playability. But yea they both are beastly.

I was lucky enough to get a WL Hal for relatively cheap considering what some people are asking for him now. I'm down to 4 White Lanterns with the Hardest one to get being WL Superman, then it goes down to Wonder woman, Bart and animal man. I'm trying to get a trade going my E2 that contains at least WL Superman and one or two others of those if anyone is interested. I know I'll play the WL Superman more than I play the E2, plus I'm waiting for a actual New Earth or Earth 1 (All post crisis earths) to be made with a GOOD Sculpt and dial.

If you look at the math we made out waaaay better with WL.
If you pull a white lantern worth $50 and 3 SRs worth an Average of $15 you got all your C,UnC,and R for free. This is a avarage brick since there's only 1 "bad" WL and more higher end you have a better chance of coming out ahead. i was always dissappointed with 75% of my cases/bricks before this set. If you bought a brick of WoS and got only 3 SR's then you didn't come close to get value for your dollar in my opinion. If you buy a brick for $100 and pull WW, Supes, Flash, GA, or Hal you come out way ahead. If you pull Supes Jr.,Animal,Donna, or Bart you come out ahead. If you pull Ice then you come out better than an average brick of WoS, AA, SI, or any other set.
This set sold out because if you think about you can't go wrong buying a case. I pulled Supes and Hal out of 2 cases. I paid $150 and $175. If I choose I can sell Hal and Supes for $150 easily.
Here's some deals I mailed out today.
I gave Barry Allen(no arm), Batman, Wonder Woman, 5 generic common for Animal Man WL
I gave M&M WolvZombie,T-Rex,Batman,Bane for WL Flash
I gave Allan Scott,Ragdoll,and Capt. Comet for WL Ice
I feel like every deal was well worth it.
I hope evry set has a similar dynamic. I'd rather show up knowing if there's 5-10 players someone's getting something great. With HoT I got 2 cases with 5 SR's waste of money, I don't understand why someone would gamble on a Godpack.

I wouldn't mind seeing something like "white lanterns" in every set either but as long as the Lantern fans get a little bit of a break. After BatB came out it took me a while to get the Black Lanterns and then the next DC set they go and make 11 of the Rares Lanterns, 2 of the Sr's Lanterns and a Sub-set of 10 Semi chase White lanterns and 4 of those being really popular characters. I like hunting and trading between sets but man, if the next DC set is Lantern Related like alot of people are speculating I really hope the "Chases" or sub sets are something like Legion characters or something non lantern related to keep others buying that set cause I might need a small break from this hard collecting...

Jarosa
01/04/2011, 17:01
I'm not hating on Lantern fans. I am one as well. I'm just saying this guaranteed chase in a brick is very cool. We're definitely getting our money's worth. Maybe if the chases weren't Lanterns they wouldn't have hit the value they did. I think that 10 Legion figures would have fetched a good amount as well. It was an excellent marketing idea all the way down to the white bases.

See, those who hold on to their WLs are gonna be in for a rude wake up call, I think. Once the demand dies down, people are still gonna be turning down offers like Legacy Ares and KC Flash. Then will come the day when they try to trade and people will give them and SR, maybe 2. And they'll sit there and lament not trading them sooner.

Peak demand pricing, people! You have it now, and now is the time of highest demand. If there was ever a time to sell...

It's the age old question though, to sell now or try and risk the price going up even more. I honestly can't figure these things out, so I'm just keeping mine. I have the ones I want, I'll wait out the other 4 to see if they go down (and they are 4 of the lower ones), so I'm fine without them for now. Logic says they will settle and go down, but it sure doesnt seem like it.

They'll go down for sure: everything does. Even the Supermans went down after starting out at like...200 bucks. Its all a question of how much they go down. Eventually the market will settle, though.

Yea but the supermen were down to as low as $40 at one point, because they were around when clix died and everything started to plummet. So while they have gone down, they went back up almost double.

I disagree with this, I mean most set CURs can be picked up for 50 dollars, I don't think this is different here,.... besides as a person that only picked up one brick, and wanted to get the remaining Rares, I ended up picking them up for about 5 bucks each. sure I could have waited, but my experience you get one Rare that would cost 10 bucks,... but the rest would bring in around 2 dollars at the most.

SR's took a hit, Rares are still up there.

SR prices are no different then any other set either, it's just the prices have settled faster because the set sold out. People act like all the SRs in sets are going to be worth $25-$30 when in reality that has never, ever been the case. Highest price SRs has either been HoT or Crisis, and that's because the sets were so limited.

Out of curiosity how does this set compare to Crisis and HoT when it comes to production. I know that the SRs for HoT have gone up dramatically. When the set hit they were average priced as well now they're some $50 SRs and Cap pulls $20. I gave away so many Caps when I saw that I was sick. I immediately went to my boosters and pulled out 2 extras and sold them to T&T for $18 each. I have boxes of boosters with everything but the SRs/chases in them from every set from Avengers up. I even sold an entire lot of 20 rares and Cap was one of them for $25 not even $2 apiece. I could have gotten around $100 from T&T for them. You live and you learn. I have been thinking anout selling my 2 extra Flashes and Green Arrow or Supes if I could get $180 and buy another case. Guaranteed at least 2 more White Lanterns, 6 Super Rares, and C/UnC/R galore.

I don't have exact numbers, but just from stuff I've read on here, the production/availability of both of those sets was pretty limited. That's why most of the set is worth good money. It's just hard to find.

HOT and Crisis were in the 10,000-11,000 case range i think. I want to say DC 75 was like 22,000 but i could be off on that.

Pretty sure I just got word that 2 out of the 3 venues in my area are sold out. More then likely the third will be shortly. Amazing considering there are still boosters of JL, Avengers, BATB, and WoS littering the shelves. I remember the days when those sets sold like hotcakes and CD and Sinister lined the shelves though. But never sold this quick.

To sell or not to sell? Since the set has sold out will people have multiple White Lanterns they haven't sold yet. Or are people collecting all 10? I personally have 9 extras now but I'm missing 2. So I have a total of 17. Plus a case I'll be opening later. I've traded my extra SRs for White Lanterns though, even when I already had them I agreed to trade for more. I think it's the neat bases.

I think a lot of people are *trying* to collect all 10. I think some of these people will end up selling/trading their white lanterns once they figure out they 1) won't get the whole set or 2)the white lanterns aren't playable theme-team wise.

I think when Giant-Sized X-men comes out, we may see some people trying to barter some of their white lanterns away for the "new stuff". Of course, the attention will be on the new set and people may not pay top dollar for last set's stuff.

It all depends whether you think the prices will go up. Personally, I'd sell right now. I did, in effect. I traded WL Hal and SR Wonder Twins for KC Crisis Superman. That puts Hal in the $80-90 range, enough to get a brick of the next set.

The set is sold out from the manufacturer, and my local venue has already raised prices on the remaining boosters because of the huge sales they've had on the set. I think they still even have HoT and Crisis boosters for $15-20. Personally, I have yet to see a useless piece from DC75th. It's an excellent set. And that statement is coming from a Marvel fan.

Its a gamble. If the set sells out, it may be a spike for prices. It may also be a sign of death as everyone gives up on certain pieces.

I'd also look to dump the White Lanterns while they're hot. I just traded Hal for Black Lantern Kal-L, Powerman and Iron Fist, and Gamora on the realms trading threads. If you're patient, you can get a great deal.

Legacy/Crisis flashbacks.

I'm just aiming to get the WLs I want, and not worry about the rest. Though I know that the local store that gets Clix does have some cases coming in this week.

Yea all 3 venues in my area are completely sold out. Honestly that is absolutely amazing. There was a massive amount of over speculation on how much of this set was produced. I'd love to see exact numbers, but it has to be way less then everyone thought.

I've got an extra Flash and Green Arrow now... can't decide whether to put them up on eBay or just hold on to them and trade them for whatever ridiculously hard to get piece in GSX I'll want.

Well, if you were looking for a home for the Flash, we could talk. That's actually the only one I'm still seeking.
