IKEA sells them last time I checked... which was a year ago.

IKEA sells a line of lighting kits called Dioder, if you go this route, this is the one you want (if you like the cool white look and the option for other colors) - http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50192365/

The white only ones are a warm white, that some feel look too yellow, but they are $5 cheaper. Each one has four light strips, so they're basically made to go with Detolfs.

The lights I just received were from Samuel Fong, Sahmez Lighting on Facebook, and I went with these over the Dioders because each strip is longer so it runs nearly edge to edge on the shelf, and the wires are the same gray color as the Detolf metal frame, so it blends in perfectly. Also, the wiring harness is the perfect, exact length it needs to be from shelf to shelf. Here's a link - https://www.facebook.com/sahmezlightsndecals/?fref=ts

It's a little bit more than Ikea's, but mostly due to the shipping from Hong Kong. My order to light two Detolfs cost me $64 total and only took about a week to reach me here in Ohio after it was shipped.

I got a Joker 2.0!!

I need a second Detolf...

[DarkEco910]

My Joker 2.0 was sent via 2-day Priority Shipping. The detail on this figure...wow. I'm speechless.

My Dark Knight trilogy collection is complete, and I have a trip to IKEA planned for the end of the month to buy another Detolf. I can't wait to give Batman, the Joker, and Bane each their own shelf with their respective steelbooks and a small piece of memorabilia. I'm so effing stoked!!

I'm considering it, but not sure I want to. This particular Detolf will be one figure per shelf. Catwoman would have to go on Bane's shelf for TDKR.

And then that would prompt me to track down Two-Face for TDK and either Scarecrow or Gordon for Batman Begins.

Tracking down Scarecrow or Two-face won't be easy.

One figure per shelf will require more detolfs which is expensive.

I found both on eBay last night. A custom Scarecrow from Hong Kong for just over $100 (looks decent enough) and I saw a few Two-Face figures.

I'd double up sorted by film:

Shelf 1 for Begins - Batman and Scarecrow
Shelf 2 for TDK - Joker and Two-Face
Shelf 3 for Rises - Bane and Catwoman

I'm not sure I'm dedicated to that idea of two figures per film, but we shall see. If not Two-Face, then SWAT Lt. James Gordon w/ Joker to represent TDK IF the situation presents itself to buy more figures.

Shelf 4 for BvS

[DarkEco910]

After seeing Deadpool twice, I really want that figure now. I know exactly how I'd pose him, too: On the same shelf with my Avengers trio being a total goof amongst those three stone-faced, intimidating figures breaking the fourth-wall and studio licenses with style and flair.

[Petra_Kalbrain]

Just finished watching DEADPOOL!!! I want that Hot Toys figure!!!

[Show spoiler]I'm just worried that I would have to give in to this uncontrollable urge to treat it like... ummm... a stuffed unicorn plush?

[K1NG J0RDAN]

I'm definitely putting Deadpool next to Wolverine. It just seems right!!

[kryptonite1970]

I hope they do a Colossus.

Nice! Collecting HT is like trying drugs for the first time...you want more of it...

On the side note, I also want that Deadpool figure but I also want the armored Batman.

Do me a favour, if you decide to get the Deadpool figure, please wait until I've placed my order... ok?

I'm just waiting on a $5 Rewards Point code that I was promised from Sideshow recently. Then, I'll get $146 USD off on it! Don't get too excited by that number though. In the end, it will still cost me (in Canadian currency) around the same as the listed USD price. That's right. I'm redeeming $146 in rewards points to get it for $200+...

Me, I am just happy to use the $25 extra rewards points I got during the holiday.

Good thing there is flexpay...

I am afraid due to the hype generated by the movie, the Deadpool figure will sell out in a few days or so.

Yeah... I would be fine with that too if I could get it for $234.99 - $25. However, without my $146 in rewards points, that sucker would be $400, maybe a bit more by the time it got to me. It's just not worth THAT much in my opinion. Would you buy it if it was going to cost YOU $400 - $25?
