    If you went to the one I frequent, you might think they never even got them in, but they just were sold out over last weekend, leaving the same couple of Lexs and Sinestros that have been there a while. Maybe that's why it seems like they aren't getting wave 2.

    Or maybe they actually DIDN'T get wave 2. It certainly could be that too.
    Expectation is the death of discovery.

      The store in Jefferson Valley in Westchester NY had a couple of Aquaman (Aquamen?) this afternoon. They did have a Black Manta too but I bagged it. They had nothing apart from the obligatory Sinestro's and Lex's last Saturday so I guess they must have restocked during the week and that was all that was left. Still nothing in the Times Square store, well apart from the Sinestro's and Lex's of course.

        TRU in Birmingham, AL has two pegs full of Wave 1 Luthor and Sinestro, and a lone GL.

          Will future Retro waves be mostly sold from TRU online?

          This seems to be a reasonable question right now. Wave 2 figures are in comic book stores and most online outlets (including TRU). Yet it seems abundantly clear that individual TRU outlets are not jumping on additional waves. With wave 3 supposedly due in October, isn't it probable that many TRU stores will be sporadic in stocking future waves? In fact, wouldn't it be more likely that TRU converts additional waves to online exclusives?

            Fairly sure wave 3 won't be for October, it seems it's been moved to January. I think it's way to early to tell what the stores are ordering since it seems to be the same as the release of wave 1, where each store gets a case or two, they sell right away, then it's 2 or 3 weeks before they have more.

              I went to our TRU last night and still no Retro Action figures of any kind.....
              I've already got mine, so I don't need to ask why they aren't getting any, but I just don't get it.

                  Ive been to the TRU in Fresno at least four times in the last four weeks and still no wave 2. They did have another shipment of wave 1 figures and all the pegs were full. Beginning to think that they wont carry wave 2 for a long time or the scalpers have already hit the stores more than once.

                        That was cool of your Bro.

                        From the last I read from Craig he is out of Zica bodies now.
