    Hey Jim! Yeah, I suppose if I bought and opened the WW I saw she would clearly look awesome after I fixed her. Trouble is I'm not opening mine (so I can't fix her) so they have to look good as they are inside the package. Most of the pics of carded Retro Wonder Woman figures I've seen look awesome, I think that one was just an isolated factory goof and probably the only reason she was still sitting there on the shelf to begin with; she was the only Wave 3 figure they had, the Flash and Captain Cold that I left there last week after I bought mine were gone. So that's a good thing!

      The nearest TRU NEVER got wave 2, but unloaded wave 3 off the warehouse truck today...Lots of WW, Flash & Cold, but NO CHEETAH?

          My wife found Captain cold, but no others. I had her go ask and she found out that someone had come in the night before and purchased 15 figures.

            My wave 3 sets arrived from EE today, and one of my Cheetahs came on a Captain Cold card...Either that or one of my Captains turned into a Cheetah...



            Also, one of my WW came with the bubble affixed completely askew and hanging off the card. Guess she's my opener...but had I ordered one set, these would all have been returned.

            Figures are great though, posture much improved!

              These finally hit Buffalo, well sort of. The TRU closest (Transit RD Clarence)to me had only 1 Flash and 1 Cheetah, no sign of Wonder Woman or Captian Cold. (Oddly enough they did have a lone Aquaman???) Made a mad dash to the 2 other TRU ( Sheridan Dr, and McKinley Rd) in the area but no luck at either location. All 3 did have Retor Action Ghost Busters though, at least 3 of the GB's. No store had Winston, but I could have picked up the other 3 no problem.
              Looking like I'll have to go internet route for WW and the Captian. Not sure TRU with get another shipment in..

                  I don't think any of the Toys R Us' got wave 2 here on Long Island. Maybe the express stores...but not the main "Big" stores. Just pathetic. Same goes for TJ Max's here on Long Island...Zilch...nothing...Nada. Hell, I haven't gotten my Wave 3 from my comic store yet and I know that Diamond has already been sending them to the stores...Guess my comic guy never ordered them for me. Let's just face it...Toys R Us is just PATHETIC.

                      Holbrook TRU DEFINITELY got wave 2 in. I saw them all except for Batman, but it was only one day a while back. They got wave 3, but those are gone too.....I saw them, but already owned them.

                        Thats one thing, just because we go to a toys r us and don't see them, doesn't mean they never got them in.

                        I think wave 2, at least in my area went to the toys r us express instead of toys r us, because the express stores were in malls for the christmas season. I think they got most of the new stuff. I never saw wave 2 at our regular store, but did see them at express. Wave 3 showed up at the regular store even with a couple luthors still on the pegs.

                          Found a complete set at the TRU in Bloomington Illinois. ONLY 1 and 1/2 hours from my house.

                          I left a Flash and Captain Cold on the pegs. They were in somewhat damaged condition.

                            Toys R Us Times Square

                            They have all of wave 3 except for the Flash in the Times Square Toys R Us in Manhattan. Still plenty of Lex's and Sinestro's too of course. Although strangely these have gone from being on sale at 11 bucks back to full price

                              Yes it does.... Our TRU never even had a spot for them until late last Nov.-Dec.

                                Toys R Us on Mid Rivers Drive St Peters, MO just got in quite a few. I think I counted maybe 5 or 6 of each; Flash, Wonder Woman, Captain Cold, but only one Cheetah.

                                It could be that places are starting to restock after the Christmas blowout.
