^ Thank you very much! I look forward to posting here, it's an awesome board! Just a little background on me... I've been collection for a little over 12 years now and I collect other brands but DC has always been my number one passion. I believe I have the most complete DCUC collection but I'd love to see what other member here have. All my action figures are MOC and I don't collect customs.

Thank you! Well, without revealing his name (as asked by the daughter of this Mattel ex-employee), the "professor" as I like to refer to him (because now he works @ Harvard) worked for Mattel for 10 plus years and he was "directly" involved in the making of the most wonderful toyline, the DCUC figures. His daughter tells me that he kept one of each figure he ever made (and it's true folks, I saw pictures of everything he has). She tell me that he quit after wave 20 was complete and he moved away and left all this stuff behind. The professor told his daughter to sell everything (crazy if you ask me) and for her to keep the profit. She was well aware of what she had as the professor told her what each piece would go for. So, without revealing prices I did spend a fortune on it but I'm am glad she decided to sell it to me. She saw how complete my collection was and that's why she says that she went with my offer!
