    I'm sure that when the King of Prussia TRU reopens in November, they'll have them. But by that time I'll have ordered my doubles from TRU.com. I'm just dying to take a picture with multiple card colors on the pegs.

      Is it me or do you find it bizarre anyone wants to buy these for prices over and above what they can get by simply ordering them online at TRU with free shipping? It boggles the mind.

        My problem about ordering online is: As a picky Collector...I like to inspect the Figure up close before I buy it. I look for flaws-Paint imperfections(half missing Eyebrows, etc...). Runs in the Costume, and that sort of thing.
        Ordering online...you take your chances.

          I'm with ya, but there's no sales tax in Delaware, and Christiana from my work takes about the same as hitting Exton from my home. The only way I can match 19.99 per figure is to buy five of them from TRU.com to get the free shipping, and I don't always have the $100 to spend all at once.

            Speaking of Christiana, DE TRU....that's like 15 minutes from my house and were I work....been there every other day since sightings of Wave 2 started. I really don't thnk they're gonna get Wave 2 until they move the 3 full pegs of Wave 1 that they still have!!

            So on Sunday I packed the family up and we drove down to Dover, DE about a good 40 minutes or so from my house...this is after I had already been to Exton, Media, and King Of Prussia the previous weekends....nothing at the Dover TRU except 2 full pegs of Wave 1. Then we stopped at the Dover Mall and guess what!?! A TRU EXPRESS STORE!!! Hit paydirt finally!!! I picked up all four... there were still like 5 Batrman, 3 Aquaman, and 1 Black Manta left on the pegs. I felt kinda bad leaving them just hanging there!!

            To say I'm meticulous when it comes to the condition of the card and the figure positioning in the bubble is an understatement...so I took about 15-20 minutes or so just trying to pick out what I deemed as the "best" of the bunch. So we drove back home and when I got home I was checking out the figures again and noticed that my Black Manta has 2 friggin' left hands!!!

            After all the waiting and driving....my Black Manta has 2 friggin' left hands!!!! I didn't even notice it while I was in the store......anybody wany to buy a "Rare Factory Error" Black Manta!??! jk....lol. I'll just wait until my local TRU gets them in and exchange him.

              I was in my local TRU this afternoon and they had just put cases to the floor in the comic section.

              They got in restock of wave one, not new stock of wave 2. Huh? There were again Sinestros and Luthors galore and a few GL's and Supes. Hard to imagine a store getting in old merchandise ahead of the new wave, but it's TRU and it's CIncinnati, so anything is possible.

                That makes perfectly good sense to me.

                    I went to one of the TRU's on Swansea Ma that didn't have any of these figures and I noticed they put up 4 pegs as it say's what will be going there so they should be getting some soon or they have them in the back and are putting up now so it seems they are getting them in now. All the express TRU's I've been to have them so I think the express stores are the best bets if you want to get them in person like I do.

                      FINALLY got mine yesterday at the TRU express that just opened in the Long Beach Town Center mall. Had a few Batman and a couple Aquamans to choose from and only 1 Twoface and 1 Manta..along with 1 Superman. The Toysrus in Cerritos still has only Sinestro and Luthors warming the pegs.

                        I was in the Niagara Falls TRU yesterday and the only one they had was a single Aquaman.

                            Went to TRU on Sunday and they had the remnants of wave 2 hitting earlier last week. All that was left on the peg was a black manta.

                                Finally! Went to a TRU Express in Huntington,NY. Picked up Batman and Aquaman. Wanted to get Black Manta, but at $20 a pop, I had to hold back. Maybe in a few weeks I can get him.
