    Since the first sightings came in, I had been religiously checking our local Toys R Us every week with no luck. Then when I heard about this Toys R Us Express suggestion, I looked... and sure enough... the Toys R Us Express in the mall had them... pretty much two of every figure in Wave 2.

    The funny thing: the mall is *directly* across the street from Toys R Us.

    I don't claim to understand it.

    Yes, there is one yellow carded Superman in every case of Wave 2.

    I finally found mine! they were at a TRU express in Taunton MA. at the Silver City Galleria! I bought all four of wave 2 but my Batman doesn't have the painted eyebrows? One did but I noticed that one had a bat emblem that wasn't quite right so I got the one without the eyebrows as to me it looked perfect expect that and it also looks more megy without the eyebrows to me.

    There is a Toys R Us Express in the Broadway Mall in Hicksville Long Island.

    I visited there today and all they had left was two Aquamans, a Black
    Manta, and 2 Lex Luthors.

    They just opened one up near me so I had the funds to get two. I already had Aquaman from vacation, so I got a Bats and Two-Face and put Black Manta back hoping I can find him again, when the time comes.
    The store by me is not temporary. It has been there for a long time. The sign out in front is not temporary at all.

    Oh, sorry to hijack the thread a bit, but my kids were in total awe that Batman's cowl came off to reveal Bruce Wayne. My 5 year old had this huge grin. I have already had to re-glue the bat logo, but the head, neck and cowl seem to be going strong after multiple removals and replacement of the cowl. It was cool to see my kids opening a Batman on a magenta card. Two-Face not so welcomed. Right now he's on my desk and I may keep him

    Thanks. It will be awhile, but I'm sure these won't become scarce once they are out there. At least in my area I'm still finding lots of Wave 1.

    Toys R Us Express is a great store for us crazy collectors. For me they have proven to get in the stuff that we are looking for and manage to keep it in stock pretty well.
