    Sounds like TRU is killing this line all on their own

      I want to put this into perspective.

      As far as I can tell, Lonnie was the first to have Wave 1 in hand on Feb. 10th.
      retro hero arrival - Mego Talk

      I am looking at my bank statement (and as far as I can tell I was the first one to get them by walking into a TRU and purchasing them) and it shows I bought them on February 25th (a Thursday, not Tuesday as I originally thought). That was the very day they showed up on the website.

      15 days difference.

      Now, nearest I can tell on this Wave, the first arrival was on July 10th.

      We haven't quite hit 15 days, yet.

      All I am saying, is the lag from the first arrival to the figures hitting TRU hasn't crossed the threshold of the Wave 1 precedent, at this point. I am guessing we will see them show up on the website by next Thursday.

        Nice detective work. Providing of course that history repeats itself. And lets hope for the sake of wave 2 that it does.

            Thanks, Dude. It remains to be seen if it will pan out, but we aren't behind schedule at this point. If they hit next week, all will be as it should have been.

            My main thing here is I wanted to keep people from fretting for no reason and to save you all from wasting gas and time. Just check the TRU website. I'm betting they won't hit stores before they are listed on the site.

                I still like Saildog's logic of thinking as it seem to make sense thus far anyway.

                I just cannot help but wonder to know if TRU will place them on their web site first and fill those orders first before putting them on the pegs?

                      If the TRU stores down there are anything like here and they still have wave 1 stock on the pegs, even if they have wave 2, it may not get put out for days or weeks afterwards.

                          Got my set of Wave 2 earlier this week...just got around to opening them and removing for display purposes Unbelievably excited for the rest of the line!

                          1.Batman - simply awesome. No body issues at all...even if he fell over every five minutes he'd still be awesome. Love the removeable cowl. Can't wait until they hit TRU and I can buy more!

                          2.Two-Face - I was actually very dubious on this one as I've never been a big fan. He had the most solid body and I was very impressed once I removed him.

                          3.BM - very cool although he does have a loose torso. Dig the figure - to me he looks most like a Mego.

                          4.Aquaman - Meh. My least favorite of the Waves so far. A SEVERE case of the flops...and he looks like a wussy.

                          I'm buying more of these as soon as they hit TRU!
