Andu is clearly not buying enough of them.

True, but space is a concern.
But given it's unloved status I feel I should own one of each.

Ah yes. Poor Tomar-Re was somewhat of a shelf-warmer - I bought the only one that appeared to shift in Falkirk back when they were in Toymaster. The rest I suspect were packed off to the warehouse that holds things until they appear in charity shops...

When we were in TRU on Sunday, there was a kid at the GL toys, in particular the Parallax thing and his mum said. "That's just pathetic.".
Made me laugh.

I can't believe the amount of Green Lantern stuff we've had delivered to TRU. We've got more of that now than we have Power Rangers or Ben 10, and people buy those lines! A lot of the stuff has "Only at Target" stickers on it. I can only assume the Target "Pish Toys Redistribution Manager" was able to catch a Toys'r'us rep just after a particularly nasty head injury with the offer. Either that or we got them for a quid a figure or something obscene like with our mountain of Puppy in my Pocket after Woolies folded.
That said, we do actually seem to have sold a few Parallaxes and a few figures. The other items are struggling to draw interest.

On checking two Lands of Pound I saw that they had:
Fallen Guardian
Tomar Re
G'hui
Galeus Zeo
Agh! I thought Andu had them all! I have failed! And both Poundlands had a lot less figures than last week. Will I prevail in picking up G'Hui and Tomer Re for Andu? This thread just got a lot more exciting, thrilling and tension-packed.

Will they fall into the crushing embrace of the Discount Black Hole? Can will alone (and a few pounds) save them from this terrible fate? Only time, and next issue, will tell! Karl |

He is one of the first alien Green Lantern's Hal encountered. Hails from the planet Xudar and became a friend of Hal's. He died around the time of CoIE and selected John Stewart to be his replacement. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomar-ReAndy Andy |

Nowhere near any Poundlands today. I did spy Sinestro and the 'Battle Shifters' today in Home Bargains, but I was distracted by another shiny thing and forgot them! I have failed! Failed!

Ralph has had a shot of GL figures and was unimpressed with their mid-80's style articulation.

Limited articulation appears to be coming back: several SW Multipacks have figures with not many joints.
