      STILL haven't found wave two at TRU.
      I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

      If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

        Someone said Diamond was shipping these to comic stores today. Are there any sightings? My LCS is 45 minutes away and I'll head down on Friday.

        My guess is TRU will get this wave but not anytime soon. I don't think they're on their website which has been a good gauge of when they hit retail.

            Last I found at our TRU was some of wave 2.
            It was like that when I got here.

              I've never seen any Retro figures beyond wave 1 near me. And mostly just Lex and Sinestro.

                It'd be nice to know if they are getting wave 4 or should I just get them online. I've had great luck picking them up at the local store.

                  Ours got another case of Wave 3. There are now 2 WW, 1 Cheetah, 2 Flash and 1 Cold (plus the same Luthor and Sinestros). That's at least 2 cases of Wave 3 we've gotten and I have hope Wave 4 will make it as well.

                    Louisville TRU have gotten in some Wave 3. I saw a Capt Cold at one store, mixed in with some leftovers from Wave 1. That was all, which is a good thing. That means their getting bought up. I also saw a bunch of Ghostbuster Retro figures sitting out. Nice to see the eight inch figures fighting for shelf space again.

                      Our TRU got in a case or two of Wave 2... and that's been it. Nothing from wave 3. I'm there often enough to have seen at least a straggler or two if they had ever put any from wave 3 out. It's frustrating to see wave 4 showing up when our TRU still hasn't stocked wave 2 adequately. They do have enough Luthors and Sinestros to fully stock a couple of pegs, though.

                      I'm growing really tired of modern toy distribution... and it's not just Retro Heroes. Although, it does make it worse since it's basically a TRU exclusive.

                        Just saw Wave 4 at my local comic shop yesterday, along with the $5-$6 mark-up (which usually gets knocked down after a couple of months).

                        Last wave I saw at TRU was Wave 3 in Eatontown. As for toy distribution, I feel for all y'all, that's why I order the sets from Entertainment Earth, etc. so I make sure I get 'em.

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."

                            Save yourselves a lot of hassle, and just go online. TRU around Philly as far as I know NEVEr got past Wave 1.

                              At TRU in Charleston WV I have seen a little from wave 2-3 I bought Captain Cold there. I never saw a Batman. I ordered some wave 4 from Entertainment Earth and got them in just a few days.
