Hey everyone, so my mail just came in and I got what I thought was going to be the Legion of Doom from Classic Superstars Series 23. When you look at them from first glance, you would think nothing out of the ordinary but upon turning the box around and looking at the bottom of the package, it appears the figures that I received today are samples. Does anyone have any info on these and how they differ, if anyway, from ones that were released. I'm not quite sure what samples exactly are or what they were used for. I have included some pictures below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had thought that it may be that. Perhaps they were shown at Toyfair or something along those lines. Do you or does anyone know if these are more rare/valuable than the ones that were released?

Samples are always sought after. While it's hard to place a real value on them, I would assume you could ask double-triple what they usually sell for. I haven't seen anyone post these sample cardings over the years of being here. You should be pleased!
