Stopped by TRU this morning east of Atlanta and it was stock day,all the aisle were full of boxes and they had a few wave 2 on the shelf and a brand new case on the floor that was still full. Two Face was the single figure with superman at 2 and 3 each of the others.

Hey Man, I live in East Marietta. Which store did you find them on the east side? Thanks in advance!
Check again, dude. Work's been keeping me away from TRU this week, and I finally got to stop by the one in Sunset Hills on my way home this evening, and on the shelf I found a bunch of Wave 1's and three Wave 2's -- two Batman and one Aquaman, with nary a Two-face or Black Manta to be found (of course, out of the two I'm really after!). The girl at the counter told me that's all they had, but that two more trucks would be coming next week (standard answer for everything there, I think).
Which TRUs have you checked?
I went and checked the one on South Lindburgh in South County.
Thanks for the heads up on that. I know exactly where the location is that you speak of. I just had not been by there in quite a while.
Still no wave 2 here in St. Louis, MO. Just a bunch of Lex and Sinestro figures warming the pegs here. They have not even marked them down to $14.99 each here either.

Just spot Aquaman at TRU in Alanta earlier this evening. Look's like they may have had the others (peg looks kinda empty.)
On the wave 1 side, on the other peg: 1 Supes, 1 Lantern, 2 Lexs (both with stitching on the straps) and a BOATLOAD of Sinestros.
Also, I priced Aquaman: $19.99.

Reason: wrong price quoted
Local comic shop (Kingdom Comics) here in Birmingham has Wave 2 ---no Batman though--- guy at the counter told me they were $14.99 each (hopefully he wasn't mistaken).
As far as I know the local TRU still only has Wave 1.

I am beginning to think that this particular TRU sucks. I am not totally sure, but I want to think that these were the same Lex and Sinestro figures that was here the last time I checked a while back.
I am in the St Louis area as well, the TRU I have been going to seems to have gotten in wave 1 about 3 or 4 times ..but still no wave 2.
I bought the last Aquaman in Sterling Heights, Mi tonight. They had two Batmen, 1 Superman, 1 Sinestro and 1 Luthor. Aquaman's eyes are uneven, Batman's left eye is huge and the right is small. The othe Batman had black crap on the costume. Aquaman's thread is loos on the inseam of his right leg. It's a shame the terrible quality of most of these figures. Paul has been working so hard to get these made and this happens. Mattel really needs to step up and fix these issues. If it does not get fixed I can't see the longevity of this line. I look across the isle and see other figures mattel puts out and the paint apps are great, and they do not have the choke and puke syndrom either. One can only support a line for so long with these types of problems.
Rivergate? You a fellow Nashvillian?

runaround when I went to Cool Springs after reading your post. Won a Black Manta on Ebay yesterday for about what it would cost at TRU. I'm just wanting the ones that Mego didn't make I have the originals carded, but I am interested in a yellow Superman card. That one will probably have a better value like the red riddler card...I hope.
I don't know if they are waiting until wave 1 is gone, but they have had only Lex and Sinestro figures for a while now.

Still no wave 2 in Orland Park, IL.
There was a Superman that wasn't there last time.

They've made it to Toledo T-R-U. I was just in the one here at Monroe St. Must have came this past Tuesday. Still had 1 Supes, 2 Bats, & 1 BM. Two Face, & Aquaman were gone.
I cleaned out the Nashville Toys R Us. They had the retro action figures pretty well hidden. I got 3 Batman 1 Superman 2 Aquaman 1 Black Mantis and 1 Two Face.
What a feeling holding new Megos at the check out line waiting to buy them
