    I Found 2 Retro Action Figures in TJ Maxx

    I was in TJ Maxx this afternoon and found an Aquaman and a Black Manta in their toy section. I wasn't even looking at toys, but I recognized them from a distance and made a beeline straight for them.

    I looked around for more, especially Batman, but never found any others.

    Don't know how they wound up in TJ Maxx, but I suppose they were overstocks from a TRU.The best part was that they had them priced at $9.99 each.

    I have made several trips to TRU since Wave 2 came out and have never seen anything but the same Wave 1 figures over and over. Just yesterday, I was in TRU Express and saw plenty of Lex, Green Lantern, and Sinestro.

              Was your price $9.99 too?
              It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                    Yeah Ross, TJ Maxx, DD's Discounts, & Marshalls are all the same store it seems. Ive actually bought items at the seedy DD's discounts and removed the tag to find a Ross tag under it.

                        It only the first and second waves. The third wave is not at TJ Maxx.

                          Awesome!!!

                          I went into the store to buy some O-State gear for the Bowl Game (and dang! did they have awesome ball caps, hoodies, and jerseys for cheap...I sacked up on those, as well) and never did I expect to find these two figures. I was floored!! AND for that price!

                          I'm going to check Ross tomorrow. I remember them having butt-loads of GI Joe stuff in the late 90s.

                          I had a spare Cast-A-Way body in my parts box, so I did a boil-and-pop on the hands and the "torso crush" to free the head. Took about 15 minutes total to transfer it all. Now, I have an awesome Aquaman that I am seriously thinking about taking to the Office for display.

                            I'm talking about wave 2. Hasn't showed here as of yet.
