    At last I hit paydirt! Picked up Black Manta and Two-Face at a TJ in the Fort Worth area! Already had Aquaman, so I'm hunting the Batman now!! (Plenty of Aquamen tonight at TJ Maxx).

          I haven't seen anything in the Maryland area, yet. The stores here are beginning to get that heavily ransacked look, too.
          It's all good!

            Went to the Mattel Outlet store today. They had 12 figures!! Sadly, they were all Aquaman and they wanted 20 bucks each!

              Hit 2 TJ Maxx today. Picked up Two Face, Black Manta and Aquaman for $9.99 each. Could not find a Batman and only left one Twoface and Black Manta at 2 different stores. Opened a new account and saved an additional 10%!.
              Too many toys. Not enough space!

                  I've seen Batman every time I've gone to TJ Maxx...but even at $9.99 I can't bring my self to buy one. I see Garcia Lopez's Art on the Card...and it just bums me out thinking what could have been.

                      Stopped in the one here near Rochester, NY in Webster last week and they had none. The closest they had was a Large Wolverine Figure.
                      Stopped in today, and along with the Wolverine figures, I saw 2) Batman and 2) Aquaman figures.
                      I picked up one of each, even though I have them. This way I can actually open them up.

                      And I did. The arm/leg joints were really stiff, but eased up after a while.
                      I see what you guys mean about the pelvis "flop".

                      Still....nice figures!

                          Found Batman and Two Face in Cresthill, Ill. and a Batman in DeKalb, Ill.

                          Went back to Cresthill today and the girl who helped me last week found a Black Manta and saved him for me. Now that's customer service. The old Austin charm works again.

                            You are the man, A.

                            Still need to find a Manta.

                              You know Scott, in many ways it's almost better to be missing one than to grab them all in one shot. The thrill of the hunt is present but you're still only seeking out one figure. Finding them all at once is kind of anticlimactic. I found mine in A.J. Wright so perhaps you should check there too.

                                AJ Wright had Superman and Manta. Picked them up tonight. Waves 1 and 2 complete. Now on to Wave 3.
                                I have to say, I am less than impressed with the bodies and the way they were produced.
                                I'll take my Famous Covers any day. But I digress...
