Toys R Us Update.....Any Wave 2 sightings yet?

[CrimsonGhost]

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.

Will future Retro waves be mostly sold from TRU online?

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

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.

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.

I looked just across the river from you in Fairview Heights, IL today. They still have 4 Sinestro and 3 Luthors on the pegs (it's been that way for about a month). The guy I talked to couldn't even find the second series figures in their computer system.

neighbor! That sucks to hear about no second series yet. This is so odd that some TRU's have them while others don't even seem like they are going to even get them in. ???

If all else fails PM with what you are looking for and if and when I find them I can send them your way at cost if you wish.

I know they can be ordered from the website, but that kind of sucks all the fun out of it. I like standing in the store and holding them in my hand. Something about finding them that feels nostalgic still. I like a lot of others here still enjoy the thrill of the hunt.

Good luck with the hunt!

I keep checking my TRU's in Seattle, including the Northgate store (worst TRU on Earth) that was mentioned earlier, but have had no luck. ALL I WANT IS A BATMAN!

Oh well, I'll keep hunting.

[starsky]

havent seen them personally, but my friend grabbed a couple for me so i know they already hit.

As of today all comic shops and pop culture shops (i.e. Newbury comics etc) have them at elevated prices , yet Concord , Manchester , and Nashua N.H. T.R.U. have yet to receive wave 2

[spamn]

Three full pegs of wave 1 in Christiana, DE, mostly Lex and Sinestro. I'll bet they don't get wave 2 until they unload those, and I swear none have been sold since I was there last Sunday.

Still no luck in Orange County, Southern California!!!

Thanks! I enjoy posting and seeing the pictures of different places as well.

I just got off the phone with a fairly knowledgeable clerk at the store listed below. As least he knew what they were when I called and described them to him.

TOYS"R"US - CHESTERFIELD [9515]

1781 CLARKSON ROAD CHESTERFIELD MO US 63017 P: (636)532-6668

He told me that all they have is two Sinestro's hanging and they have had them for like a month now. He said that he had no idea as to when any new shipments will arrive at this location. They have not received any in quite some time.

It sounds as if this is a bad location to stake out based on the info given at this time. Then again who knows maybe they might get wave 3 in in the near future??? It doesn't hurt to check.

The best way that I have found is to call the store and ask them if they have any and what they have. This saves time and gas.

Kingdom Comics in Birmingham, AL has Aquaman and Two-Face available.

That's a very good practice I learned when I was 10. I did this for the Star Wars action figures and have my mom drive me to the store where they were holding them, be it TRU or the local toy shops.
Now waiting for the Wave 3s.
