Wave two let the sightings begin...

[DocDrako]

I live in southern California, and my local TRU had nothing as of yesterday.

No sightings as of yet here in NY where are the west coasters?

I think she got her DC toy-lines, and brain cells, crossed. Without the item number she's really guessing at what your talking about. DCUC, or DCIH, or DC Batman Brave & the Bold, etc. More than likely she was looking at DC Universe Classics info.

I'm sure your right......the other question is...are retro ghost busters only being sold in TRU?

I called Mattel today, I was a bit inspired by the other thread, and a lady told me they would be in stores soon, and are in some stores now. She also told me they are being sold at Target and Walmart? I don't think she was giving me the correct information. But she was adamant and absolutely positive they were being sold at Walmart and Target. I asked her twice, the Retro Acton figures with fabric costumes? She said yes.....

I was at Toys R us last weekend and saw no wave 2's. However I did see 1 superman , 2 green lanterns and a ton of Lex and Sinestro.

There won't be any changes. The only possible change is that he may ship on the pink card, but even that hasn't been confirmed.

The idea is to keep the most popular figures in the reservoir so that new fans can always find them. If someone thinks they missed out on their favorite figure, they might skip the line entirely. This technique makes the line more accessible to all fans.

Well then it was sheer genius to put arrow on the wave 1 card!

^Possibly, but I can't say I'm excited about seeing Supes again, unless they tweak the costume colors.

How do you know this? And why would they do that?

I visit many sites.

This is in response to too many Sinestros and Luthors hanging around after the popular Heroes sell. Not an unexpected move, and a good one ultimately.

^^ Aha, thanks

[Zemo]

I think it's on EE's web site, they are selling them by the case and give the pack list.

[jimsmegos]

How do you know this? And why would they do that?

my guess would be that since the bad guys seem to be the lowest sellers so pack 'em light... Batman is always the strong seller and everybody loves Superman. Or at least should

Every figure was 2 per case for wave 1.

That's changed for wave 2, wave 1 Superman will actually be in wave 2 cases too..

Case assortment = (3 Batman, 1 two-face, 1 manta, 2 Aquaman, 1 Superman).

Was Superman a short run ? ... or is he just popular that he's always sold out ?
