Finding them all at once is kind of anticlimactic. I found mine in A.J. Wright so perhaps you should check there too.
    Not a store we have here in Alabama I'm afraid Lou. But yea, the search continues. Although finding that last one would make my year end on a good note.

      I have found that North East Distributing on Amazon sells many DC Retro-Action figures at reasonable prices and usually they ship in a huge bubble-wrapped envelope.

        Found a Two Face today that completes my second set of Wave 2. Also found a Batman for a friend's son but it took me three pass-thru's before I finally spotted him on a peg behind a few other non-descript toys. Ah, the thrill of the hunt!

          I went back today to try and find Manta and instead found nothing at all. I wonder if they will be getting any more in now that Christmas is over.

            I hope they start getting Wave 3 so I can complete set two of that Wave

              Found Black Manta!

              The T.J. Maxx in Tinley Park, IL had 2 Black Mantas!
              I bought only one though. Low on cash.

              It was interesting though, the Black Mantas were all the way in the back of other toys on the peg, against the peg board, as if they were hidden.
              The same was true of the Two-Face that I found in Crestwood, IL
              The pink card makes it easier to spot though.

              Anyone else have that experience?

                Yup - the Bats I found yesterday was "hidden"...

                  Still looking for a 2 Face, Superman, and Black Manta.

                  Hit up a Ross and TJM today in the hopes that anyone returning unwanted or duplicated Christmas gifts might have had a chance to do so. Over time I got conflicting statements from workers at TJM. One said there wouldn't be any new toys until 2011 and another had said no new toys would be put out before Christmas so needless to say I was not surprised there wasn't anything on the shelves to buy.

                  Stopped off at a TRU in hopes that things might clearance out. And all that was left were dozens of Lex Luthor and Sinestro. I'd have bought them if they were $10 each.

                    Finally saw some of these at TJ Max. They only had 3 Aquaman so I left empty handed. Fun to see these locally though. The TRU next door has never gotten wave 2. Loads of Lex or Sinestro clogging the pegs there.

                      Still hunting for Batman. Have not seen any of the first wave. All their toys are on after season clearance so you may find them for less than $9.99. I may go look at another store this weekend.
                      Too many toys. Not enough space!

                          There is a TJ Maxx a block away from me, and I found a Black Manta and Two-Face for $9.99. They were all the way in the back corner of the store on the bottom peg. I grabbed the Manta.

                            The toy department at our TJ Maxx has been decimated and the AJ Wright just posted a sign "store closing" Needless to say I think the inventory ar ound where I live has been depleted. Glad I was able to find what I found before Christmas.

                              Here's a dumb question alot of people were looking for these because either they don't have a TJ Maxx by them or the TJ Maxx by them does not have them I asked along with a bunch of others to keep a look out but i doesn't seem like anyone is listening.I have bought stuff for others in the past and sold them at cost and it seems like no one else is doing that here.I see alot of "I got 3 Batman or 3 Superman etc." and they were going to re-sell them at some point here's something new why not post them here..Oh happy new year...

                                For the record, if these figures are $9.99 at TJ Maxx + state sales tax + shipping, you're going to end up paying $20+ to get these to your door, so why not just eBay them. You might even get a better deal. You might not be seeing these in your Toys R Us, but these are by no means hard to find. If you want a hard to find Retro figure, try Green Lantern. Getting him for $20 at this point would still be a good deal. Or Green Arrow for $30 would be great.
