          HEYYYYYYYYYYYYY.......I got a Supes....AM...and Manta today due to this thread.....Looks like TRU is bailing on the concept...if it's exclusive why are discounters getting it? Love the DMPC but someone knows more than they are talking bout!! Why would a secoundary retail chain get the wave that most people are missing out on? And at 1/2 price?......If it walks like a duck...etc etc...Whose gonna tell the realllllllllllllllll truth?
          Paul wassssssssssssssssupppppppppppppppppppppppp? believe it or not we can handle it...just because we play with toys doesn't mean we can't handle the truth like adults!!

            Actually Joe, I had a friend who told me of a few guys who used to hit every TRU in the area and buy up the rare and collectible figures. Mainly these guys were Spawn-addicts but they were known to gobble up Star Wars rare figures. One guy actually snagged the Boba Fett palm paint error figure and sold it on eBay for $800.00.

            2 guys worked it from the outside but there was also a guy on the inside who actually worked for Hasbro in the 1990's. So if he still works it from the inside that would explain why I can't find certain SW toys. Not sure if these guys are still doing it or if the torch has been passed down. In general tho, I am under the impression collectors/hoarders are buying up a lot of stuff here in Queens.

                Got a Batman at TJMAXX for 9.99. It's unbelievable that I've yet to see this wave at TRU and now it shows up at discount.

                  Well, heck. There's a TJ a few miles from my house, and a quick Google search showed they're open till 9:30 so I took a little excursion and found one Aquaman. I hesitated, as I'm really only interested in Bats. But hell, I had AM as a kid, and at that price it was definitely worth. He's already out of the shell, and yes, wobbly as all get out. But he stands, and if my daughter shows any interest (maybe as a mate for her Barbie) then he's all hers. Will check the other one across town sometime this week for Bats. And my initial reaction was, "Man, he's light!"

                    $9.99 I'll have to check it out. That is if the other Atlanta area members have not found them all!
                    Too many toys. Not enough space!

                        AMAZING! The TJ MAXX near us here happens to be the VERY LOCATION where I bought Megos as a kid! Same plaza, same walls, same store location, same doorway...just decades later! I would love to find the Retros on the very ground where I bought Megos so long ago! How cool is that?!!! Thanks for the head's up!

                          Yo all, I wouldn't be TOO happy that these are being found there... these stores are structured as dumping grounds for overstock, and canceled brands. I hope the DC Retro-figs are not in the latter... and is just Mattel dealing with some canceled orders. (But wave 2?)

                          At any rate, I'll be hitting all stores around me to get what I can find for $9.99.

                          regards,

                          g

                            ^ Yeah, this is kind of strange news.

                            I'm happy for everyone who's getting a good deal on 'em (I'll be looking at my local TJ Maxx as well), but... I dunno. Spider-sense tingling.

                              I thought Marshal's was a clothing store? Is there another store named Marshalls?

                                Marshall's sells a lot of home goods and toys too.
