    The Lake Wales TRU had them, somehow I've missed Cold twice. They have definitely gotten multiple cases.

        I saw Captain Cold, Flash, Cheetah and Wonder Woman, but when I went back all they had was Captain Cold so I grabbed him.

        Lots of Lexs and Sinestros, though.

          Got two of each one from EE a little while back. Definitely a great wave. IMO

          I know it is cheating a bit. I just got sick of playing the Mat(shell) game trying to find which TRU might or might not have them. In all of my ventures to several local stores I was only ever able to find Sinestro's and Lex's warming the pegs.

          Best of luck and best wishes to those that wish to round them up locally.

            I have been looking for wave 2, and they just showed up within the last 2-3 weeks in Medford, OR. I was too late and they only had 1 aquaman left. I saw all 4 figures of wave 3 in Tulsa, OK on the week of Jan 23-29. The cheeta looked really good, the bare arms of wonder woman were not so good. The elbow joints were really wacked out, hopefully it was just a bad casting on that figure.

              Finally got a Captain Cold. It really looks like Flash is overpacked and turning into a pegwarmer. 6 or 7 Flashes, two Wonder Women, no Cheetahs and one Cold.

                Wave 3 is selling much quicker than Wave 1 ever did at our TRU....There is STILL one Luthor on the peg....And there were 3 Flash...But everything else is gone...

                Bring on Wave 4

                  At the TRU in Rockaway NJ, there were two case put out sometime this week, as there were none last Friday. They were selling already, as there were about 5 Flash, 3 or 4 Cap. Cold, 2 WW, 1Cheetah.

                  Now there's only 1 WW however, as I bought one.

                    I found it hard to imagine that Flash and WW would hang around for too long on the pegs. All four of Wave 3 turned out pretty nice. IMO

                      I was in Stockton, CA recently and they had Cheetah, Flash, and Captain Cold. My son wanted them all, but had to settle for only one. He chose Captain Cold. The boy loves his villains.

                        To my shock and amazement I saw wave 3 at our TRU yesterday. 1 Cheetah, 1 WW, 3 Flash, 2 Colds. Very nicely done figures and look really good on the cards. Never saw Wave 2 here at all. Still 2 Sinestros and 3 Lex as well.

                          Toys R Us in Eatontown, NJ (next to Borders) on Route 35 has them - plenty of Flash, Captain Cold, at least 2 Cheetahs, and 1 Wonder Woman (there were 2, but I picked one up for a friend). Also a Lex Luthor just chillin' out, as well as a bunch of Venture Bros. on clearance.

                          All of the above are in pristine condition, no dings or problems with the packaging I could see. Retro Heroes were running $19.99, Venture Bros. were $14.99.

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 was in Portland over the weekend and hit up two TRU. The one at Lloyd Center and the one at Jentzen Beach. NADA! I ended up going to Things from Another Planet comic book store and all they had were a Capt Cold. Asked if they were getting more and if the other stores had Wonder Woman and Cheetah. No luck.
                              Looks like I'm going to be getting these two online. Rather see them hanging at TRU but that won't happen anytime soon. Too many Lex and Sinestro filling up ALL the peg space.

                                I have hit up three recently in the Seattle area...we are having a baby in May so we have been spending a lot of time at the Babys-R-Us/TRU combo stores lately. One TRU still has the same group of Lex/Sinestro from a year ago; one TRU has completely removed the pegs from the store; one TRU now only has Wave 2 after seeing only Wave 3 there about a month ago where I bought a Flash. Wierd.
