      Nothing yet at the lone TRU in Madison, WI. (But, I may give it another try this afternoon...)

      Looks like you can get Wave 3, other than Wonder Woman, at TRU online.

      Captain Cold - DC Universe World Us

      "Chetah" [sic] - DC Universe World Us

      Flash - DC Universe World Us
      My Updated Want List:

      1970s Hulk or Spider-man metal garbage can

      Have lots of comics and Marvel Legends figures for trades. Thanks!

        I gave the local TRU a call. He said that he would expect them "in the next month" because there isn't much product to ship right now. That is good news for the line!

          I got them tonight in NEPA.

          I got Flash, Cheeta, and WW. I could have gotten Captain Cold, but I could not stand him when I saw him on the net. Now that I have seen him in person he doesn't look like such a pin head and I will have to rethink about getting him.

          They had two of each except for the girls and a Flash and Captain Cold had nose rubs, so I picked the ones that didn't.

          I love them all, except my Cheeta looks like she is lactating..

          She has two wet spots on the front bubble, when I squeeze the bubble it goes away, I let it go back to normal there are two wet spots where her boobs rest against the bubble.

            My TRU just filled the pegs with more DCUC 13 and 14 and the new DCUC GL subline where Retro Heroes used to be.

            Real Ghost Busters showed up though.

                  Went to a big TRU/Babies R Us today in Columbia, MD for some shopping for a friend who just had a kid. I had already ordered and got them online, but I wanted to see if they had wave three and they did. 4 Flash, 2 Cpt. Cold, 1 Cheetah, and 1 WW; however, her arms were put on backward so that her elbows faced front. One Flash had a big brown smudge on his emblem, but the rest looked OK.
                  It's all good!

                    Saw the Ghostbusters and Wave 3 at the Record Store in Howell. About $25 a piece - more expensive than the ones I ordered online.

No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

                        I called our TRU today and all they had was one Captain Cold and one Sinestro. This is GOOD because there were 3 Luthors and 2 Sinestros last time I was there! So they must be selling! I am still going to stop in in person though not only to grab the chilly captain, but also to look around the action figure aisle a little better because many times I find stuff in the wrong spot at our TRU. There's a chance also that someone hid them as I often find goodies stashed elsewhere. Wish me luck as I'm headed out the door to go check now. Hopefully Cold will still be there when I arrive...I probably should have had her hold it for me

                          Found wave 3 in Douglasville GA, finally making it to the Atlanta area!

                          They had 3 Flash, 2 WW and 1 Captain Cold when I left.

                            Well I went to TRU to grab the Captain Cold the girl said they had and as usual I had a salad vegetable on the phone when I called. I got there and there was not just one Cold! There were two of him and two of Flash. The 3 Sinestros and 3 Luthors were still there even though the girl on the phone said there was only one of each. I have no idea what display she was looking at only an hour previous to my arrival...but I digress.
                            There was no trace of the ladies though, which was a good thing as I only went to buy one figure, not four. Of course I had to get Flash too so I bought him as well. I'll have fun trying to find Wonder Woman and Cheetah next week so I was almost happy two were missing from the pegs. I really couldn't have bought all 4 in one shot anyway so it's for the best that I didn't have to stand in the aisle for an hour deciding which 2 to buy and which to leave behind. They look sweet though... Flash and Cold are just awesome!

                                I know. They aren't the fastest in the world. No wave 2 or 3. And last I checked no Ghostbusters either.
