    DC Universe Classics FINALLY at Wal-Mart

    I went to Lexington, KY on business today and made a quick pit-stop into a Wal-Mart there. I was pleased to find all of DCUC wave 2, minus Aquaman (both versions). I snatched them up of course, but it was great to see these at Wal-Mart since it is hard for me to get to any other retailer on any regular basis.

    Of course my local Wal-mart here still doesn't have any peg space for them. They have Marvel Transformers, but not the DCUC. Do those things EVER sell?

    One of our Wal-marts has them (found Harley there) but the other 3 do not. I've managed to find everyone except classic Aquaman with gloves and black shorts. I also see on ebay that wave 3 is now out.

      I've hit several Wal-Marts across the state since I found those, and I've yet to see even a placeholder for them. Looks like the distribution of these is STILL going to be an issue, at least for now.

        All 3 Walmarts in my area have been dry wells for the DC Universe Classics waves.

          When I found those they were wedged between Transformers and GI Joe. Weird.

          Something has to happen if Wal-mart is going to be the exclusive distributor of wave 4.

            I thought it was wave 5 Walmart was exclusive too. & I don't personally think Wave 5 has that many great figures,.. & with the build a figure some sorta Trap jaw / Terminator Metallo ,.. not sure how many of those figures I want.

              Maybe it is BK. I thought it was next (Riddler and all) and then the Wonder Woman/Cyborg wave. I could have them backwards.

                I've found Firestorm, Black Manta, Superman Red and Blue at Wal-Mart within the last week...only one each on the peg though.

                    I want the Shazam one too. Does anybody know when that one is supposed to come out?

                      I think Shazam is in wave 6. But it might be wave 7.

                        I went to 3 Walmarts today,.. just messing off.
                        I guess someone forgot to tell the Washington Stores in Pirece County that they are suppost to be carring this line now.

                          I don't normally shop at Wal-Mart but I was near one today and ventured in for some stuff that I needed like acrylic paints and snacks. I passed by the toy section and went into the action figure aisle. Other than "The Dark Knight" they had no DC action figures whatsoever. Tons of Iron Man, Marvel, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Speed Racer, some Japanese anime figures, Transformers, and WWE & TNA action figures.

                          I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. I was at my local Target about 3 weeks ago and they had the Mattel DC figures but no JLU. Makes me glad that I stopped collecting the JLU figures even with all the new ones coming out.

                            I went to 4 different Targets over the last week and had no luck finding any of the DCUC figures. Toys R US had a few wave 1 characters, but nothing else. I'm officially putting out the request for help in findings waves 2-4.

                              Today I found a Silver Captain Atom. I guess they put them out last night and I just missed them. Oh Well.
