    Still none in Wichita, KS

    I have yet to find Wave 2 in my hometown. I will wait until the end of September and if they are still not to be found, I will buy them from Dr. Mego's shop. I just hope he will still have some for sell.

      It looks like Toys R Us Express is getting wave 1 and wave 2 out on the
      shelves.

        I just wish our TRU would get them period.
        I'm not bothering to ask them because I have mine already, but come on.

            The Toys R Us Express in Woodbury NY (Long Island) has wave 1 and 2 fully
            stocked. It was all I could do to not buy the 3 Batmans on the pegs for
            $19.99 each.

            Toys R Us is opening a lot of temporary Express stores for the holidays
            (which now begins Sept. 1st) so search the store location at TRU.com
            for locations near you.

              TRU in Daytona got them in last week. Haven't been to the Express that opened recently in the Volusia Mall, as it had very little the first time I stopped.

                  My nearby Toys R Us (Tigard, OR) has two full pegs of Lex and Sinestros and no sign of wave 2. However, I finally managed to find wave 2 at a nearby Toys R Us Express (Beaverton, OR).

                    It is kind of funny because a store that I mentioned earlier that had all of the Lex and Sinestro's for so long suddenly has absolutely none at all now.

                    I don't know whether or not TRU sold them suddenly or maybe Mattel tooked them back for store credit. ???? Definitely bizarre that many would be sold in that short of time when they have been in the store for months.

                      Colorado is a big negative. We received one shipment of the wave one figures.....then nothing....then they eliminated the pegs (2) for the figures.....went out today, and still nothing, no pegs, no wave ones, no wave twos, nuthin!!! Talked to an employee and they didn't have a clue what I was talking about. If I was Mattel I would be a little bent out of shape, that Toys R Us is their exclusive outlet for this line, and they are not putting the product on the shelf. I'm Irrate!!

                      My wife bought me Batman from Amazon a moth ago, I thanked her but told her not to buy anymore because our Toys R Us would have them soon.....I want to get one to my buddies 5 year old, but Toys R Us seem to be boycotting the line. I understand that this line has problems, but Darn it, whats the freakin hold up.....Advertisements for wave three are out and I haven't seen wave 2 yet......lets get these figures in Target and Walmart, where kids are likely to get their hands on them.....and me too.

                        When I asked at TRU in Darthmouth someone who works in the store told me he didn't have any idea what I was talking about and doubts his store has had any at all? and since I have not seen any there at all I beleive he's right and he looked it up on the computer and they didn't show at all. I asked him to check the 1st wave too and nothing and this guy tells me he likes super hero figures so he would remember if they got the retro line there at all so he's almost sure his store isn't ordering them for some reason. He was shocked when I told him they were exclusive to TRU. He said that makes it odder that his store isn't ordering them. I wonder if this is the problem with people not finding them in certain area's? The store isn't ordering them maybe???

                          Finally found Wave 2 at the TRU by me . The pegs were still pretty full of Wave 1 so i'm glad they went ahead and ordered more. There were 3 Batman, 2 Aquaman, and 1 each of Black Manta and Two Face. Picked up Bats and Aquaman. At $20 a pop, i'm trying to be selective for now. Wonder how long that will last LOL.

                                Picked up a second Two Face, but have yet to see a Black Manta. Patience..patience....
