                Looking forward to the pics. I've seen one pic so far, but I want more. Seeing how we don't have TRU here
                But even if we did, they wouldn't carry these

                    TRU is a pain to get to from Oakland. We used to have one but they turned it into a Babies R Us. I'd really like to go get these in a store, but that's a long drive unless I know they are there.

                    Does calling the store to find out if they are in stock do any good? I never quite trust those kids.

                      What I would is ask for the manager and they will tell you and can even hold them for you. I always do it and have great success.Hope this helps.

                        Just got off the phone with a manager from the TRU in Staten Island, according to him they are in the back on pallets with other items and will be put out March 1st. I will be there that Monday night with my camera.....

                            I was disappointed to find only Luthor and Sinestro at my local TRU, but Ryan at the game counter knew all about them, said that all the collectors swarmed in on Saturday.

                            Carrying my Luthor to the register, I literally felt 9 years old. I was at Toys R Us buying a Mego! I can't overstate how excited I was. Unbelievable.

                            There are still two Sinestros and one Lex Luthor at the Porter Ranch Toys R US, for you locals.

                            Incidentally, Ryan is concerned because the store won't order more DCU figures until the Captain Colds (that have been in since last year) sell. I hope that doesn't affect the ordering of the MattelMegos!
