            I wish my closest Toys R Us wasn't 45 minutes away and my wife wasn't at work with our car!!!

            Probably excited for nothing. Out here in BFE we never get anything until later. Hopefully they will have them in Clarksville off the military base this weekend.

                re: already damaged, yeah... I have a feeling everyone has already bought the minty ones.

                I wish the different characters had different color backing cards, but that's really my only complaint so far. My Lex could be a little stiffer, but he's pretty great looking.

                Thanks for commenting on my post, those of you that did. I wasn't sure I would come across that way I wanted: i was time-transported for a minute and it felt great!

                I can't wait to buy a Batman or an Aquaman.

                  Really not so sure you have been getting all the messages. Yes I have purchased all the figures and opened them up...which most happy posters have not. Unfortunately it is hard to create a positive review about a toy if it is not well made. So unfortunately the news is not good at all...despite members of this community being involved....I can't wait till others open up these figures or find them to get the intel for themselves. What will consumers who aren't your friends actually think about the product? Probably not as much as you were thinking or hoping for that matter!
                  Settle down there Eeyore. Many of us happy posters have the Green Arrow already. We know what to expect.

                  Going to check out TRU this weekend. Has anyone from the East coast had any sightings on the pegs?
                  Expectation is the death of discovery.

                    Well Kanga, Baby Roo wants to know how you feel about buying a defective new action figure. Make your though visible!

                      I checked the Christiana Delaware TRU on Sunday, no dice. I plan on calling around before heading out this time; there are several TRUs I can hit within a 45 minute radius hour or so's radius, but Delaware's got no sales tax.

                        I have my set already and am currently playing with it but still checking my local TRU every other day. I just kind of want to see them for myself.

                            I don't share your disparaging opinion because my figures look good, no quality control issues, I like them better off the card. My only problem is I've already misplaced Lex's Kryptonite.

                            There is room for adjustment/improvement IMO but I cannot be upset with what I have.

                                You've made your point already, over and over and over again. Give it a rest, will ya. Doc has already said wave 2 would have better and improved bodies, OK?
