Wierd.
    Do you mean Alderwood, Northgate and Bellevue in that sequence?
    I hear SouthCenter had them but sold out fast.

      Not a sign in my neck of the woods - Birmingham. Only about 5 Sinestros and 1 Luthor - that's it. Oh well - I've already gotten what I wanted from Wave 3 AND 4 anyway. It would just be nice to see them on the pegs...someday.

        Alderwood = Lex/Sinstero; Bellevue = removed the pegs; Southcenter = had Wave 3, sold out, got Wave 2.

          I'm surprised. If Montgomery has them I would have bet money B'ham did as well.

                To my amazement I went in to a local TRU today and found a whole bunch of the Wave 3 sitting on the pegs ripe for the picking. For anyone close to the STL area this was the Sunset Hill's TRU located at the corner of South Lindbergh and Watson Rd.

                Hurry as they me be going fast in the next day or so. ???

                I thought about buying them all, but I already have them and I did not want to be greedy. They did look sooo tempting just sitting on the pegs though.

                As mentioned earlier I had already ordered and received mine back some time ago. I ordered two complete sets. However, I liked Cheetah so much that I just had to purchase another one at a TRU today. That and she was the only Cheetah on the pegs.

                This makes me three now. I am going to actually open the third one. I was really amazed that she was still there. Looks like maybe a shorter pack.

                There was a lot of Flash, Cap Cold's and Wonder Woman's on the pegs for once around here. It is great to see them actually in the store. Makes me want to buy more when I see them.

                      Saw wave 3 in NYC TRU times sq. I was on my way to a job interview and didnt wanna show up with a bag of toys so I passed. Checked back there 2 days later and All Gone! Checked back, yesterday and all they had was about 10 Captain Colds. So I got him. He is really nice looking in person. I like the material they used on his jump suit some sort of nylon. They also had Lex's and Sinestro's for 11.90, 50% off. Grabbed and extra Lex to open.

                      MY Local TRU in Watchung, NJ still only has wave 1, with Peg warmer lex and Sinestro.

                        I think the new Toys R Us by me is the Bizzaro Toys R Us when I read these posts! All they have is Wave 2 minus Batman. No Wave 1 on the pegs since Christmas and no Wave 3.

                            I actually found a Flash at the Bloomington TRU. Guess I missed the rest of wave 3 despite checking regularly.
                            It was like that when I got here.

                              The city of Janesville, Wisconsin is so far behind.
                              They finally got Wave 2 in today! I already have the whole wave through driving north and eBay but I can imagine how long before this backwoods town even sees Wave 3.

                              The manager of TRU had no clue when or why they arrived when I asked him.

                                I was at the Waterbury TRU in CT on sunday, and lo and behold 1 Captain Cold and the dozen lex and sinestro's. sad thing i didn't have funds to buy it. i hope it's there when i can get back. that's the first new figure i've seen in CT since wave 1.
