Wow...that's cool to know! I was in TJ Maxx 2 Days ago...and I need a 2nd Aquaman for a Johnny Storm Custom.

That's what I'm using mine for..!!

SCORE! My Marshal's had at least two cases of wave 2, weird no Mantas though. Thanks for the heads-up, I only heard of one instance of wave 2 at any TRU here and I missed it.

We don't have TJ Max here but we have places like it. Winners and Giant Tiger. I think I might go to both today just to see what I can see. I know Winners was selling DCUC at $12 each (which is good for Canada) and Giant Tiger had the Infinite Heroes at like 3 bucks. Maybe I'll encounter a Christmas Miracle and find some Retro Heroes. I still need Sinestro and Black Manta...and I guess Superman. (I have 2 Mego Superman's so I've never been in a hurry for the Mattel one)

For those outside the Sacramento, CA area, I saw one Batman and one Superman at the TJ Maxx on Madison Ave in Fair Oaks. They were against the left wall hanging with a random assortment of toys. They were 9.99 each, and are still there until someone buys them.

I didn't see any at the Marshalls on Bidwell in Folsom.

It's damn stupid that I spent months driving to TRUs looking for Wave 2 only to drive to TJ Maxx once - today - to find a Batman for $9.99. Nothing at Marshall's but there's another TJM on the way home from work so I will be making another stop. Thanks for the heads up!

Hit both our TJMs and Ross' and nothing. No sign they were even ever there. Our Marshalls closed years ago. I just can't win.

Thanks for the info. I got Batman and Aquaman at the TJ Maxx by North Point Mall (Alpharetta, north of Atlanta, GA). I left two Superman, one Batman, and one Manta, in case you're in the area. All were $9.99.

Here in NY I checked 3 TJ Maxx today:

College Point Shopping Ctr
Carl Place/Parkview Plaza and
New Hyde Park Road

I came back with Zilch. Consider yourselves lucky guys.

No sign of them at the 2 TJM in and around Flint, mi.

I also hit a few around Atlanta today and found several Aquaman's and Two-Face figures, I only found 1 Batman and 1 Superman. I was hoping for a Manta so I could open him up, I'll have to hit the on in Alpharetta.

I also checked Marshalls and ROSS, but didn't find any figures, I did find the Marvel "Tumblers" at ROSS, so I picked up the Captain America glasses, but they also had Spiderman, Hulk and Iron Man. If anyone else is interested in Superhero glasses, you should check them out...only $5.99 for the set of two.

Boy, does Queens suck when it comes to this stuff, huh?

I have a Marshall's right next to TRU, so I'll check them Thursday. I might also check Tuesday Morning...it's another overstock place that was selling those "Sgt. Rock" GI Joes a few years back when no one else had them.

So...the TRU near me still has Luthor & Sinestro from wave 1, and they're not moving. They haven't gotten wave 2, which contains Batman (the most popular DC character, which should sell really well), Aquaman and some more Superman. Instead, wave 2 went straight to the liquidation stores, where it's selling for 1/2 price...while TRU struggles with peg warmers from wave 1.

Maybe I'm over-simplifying, but my only question is do I send my resume to Mattel or TRU?

[megalomaniac001]

Sweet!! Thanks for the tip. I went into TRU and all they have are Luthor and Sinestro. I go to TJ Max, and I find two Aquaman and Two Mantas! I picked up one of each. I will have to try again to see if I can score a Batman! $9.99 is a price that I can afford to pick some up for presents.
