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

[Fire Marshal Bill]

It's the same card as wave 1 - the standard case assortment for wave 2
is 3 Batmans, 2 Two-Face, 1 Aquaman, 1 Black Manta, and 1 Superman.

Or maybe it's 1 Two-Face and 2 Aquamans - I can't remember exactly,
but the gist was that since Batman and Superman are what kids want,
they should continue to be available.

When i picked Wave 2 up the other day, they had just put out the case.... and i think it was 3 Batman, 1 Two-Face, 2 Aquaman, 1 Black Manta, and 1 Superman.

That makes sense - even though Aquaman is not as popular as
he was in 1972, heroes usually sell better than the villians.

At least among kids.

On second thought - Aquaman may have a better Q rating
these days, thanks to his prominent appearances on Batman:
the Brave and the Bold cartoon.

So Doc it's not a yellow card just the 1st wave orange card?

All Superman wave 1's were on a yellow card not an orange card, The Supes in the wave 2 cases is not different then wave 1 Supes.

Still no Wave 2 in Christiana Delaware or Exton, Pa.

Still no Wave 2 in my neck of the woods, but somebody did yank the whole rack of Wave 1 to the floor.

That is about the same story here in STL. There has been like one case in the last two months. Unreal!

I just do not understand what Mattel is thinking when it comes to marketing strategy with these figures. If they are even thinking at all.

It just really bothers me when I know that they could be selling so many more if they would just get the product to the stores.

Considering Christiana, DE TRU has three full pegs of wave 1, I'm pretty sure it's TRU that's not ordering rather than Mattel's fault on this one.

[JimCem99]

None by me in central FL

[Tothiro]

Strange - the TRU Express in Jupiter Florida has the full wave... a family member called me and I had them pick up Bats and Two-face. I already had a Manta (which would have been my first pick), and an Aquaman was on the way.

[bizzaro megomauler]

none here in NY yet strange....

[rche]

Was at the north TrU in Austin, TX today and they had a few stragglers from wave one, but no sign of wave two. The clerk I spoke with had no idea what I was talking about.

I would agree that it is probably TrU not putting in orders as they still have unsold product on the shelves rather than Matty not getting them to the stores. Matty needs a new sales strategy for brick and mortar or perhaps just go straight to online only sales. I would love to see them in more brick and mortar stores, thus having more exposure to kids who might not have folks shop at online specialty stores tho.

[The Bat]

I have still have not seen them at Toys R' Us, and I go every week on shipment day. All I want is Aquaman & Twoface...but no luck.

Newberry Comics has had them for 5 weeks...but I won't pay $29.99, for a Figure that I have to replace the Body on.

[bizzaro megomauler]

Funny thing is i see an abundance of WWE product everywhere, with new shipments arriving bi-weekly, even 1 day promos with exclusive figs at K-marts and the like. Is the DC license getting the shaft?
