...And of course, "not currently available"

 

😡 🤯 😤

Now there is apparently a John Stewart Green Lantern available. At least according to Facebook. I still don't have any in the stores near me -- I bought my set about 30 miles away. Not sure I want to try to make that trek again. The closest sightings on Facebook were over 100 miles away. 

Also my busted Batwing canopy is a problem for a lot of people. I've seen a bunch of posts about the hinge breaking.

He's part of the second wave, the other two are The Batman Who Laughs (*SIGH*...) and Rebirth Flash. Apparently there is an end-cap/half-pallet display that should be showing up soon with the first four and the vehicles.

My friend told me to stop quoting the Monkees. I thought she was joking. But then I saw her face.

Figures. I HATE The Batman Who Laughs. Worst concept ever. 

That said, if they make it in Super Powers style, I'll buy the stupid thing.

Again, this is just me being upset and impatient, but how in the hell do some areas/stores already have wave 2 available for purchase when I don't have any stores in a 50 mile radius that have even received stock of wave 1?

 

Yes, I agree the Batman Who Laughs is massively overplayed and un-interesting, but its a nice visual and I'll get the figure on an SP card. 🙄

Stewart is the only wave 2 that's currently available, as far as I know (I would bet that Stewart is only being found in stores that got that pallet display, earlier finds of the line never had him).  The other two names came from a foreign retailer and may not be correct (though McFarlane's love of The Batman Who Laughs makes it seem likely... *sigh*...).  The toy reset usually comes mid-August so that should start happening around the country from next week on, that's most likely the hold up for some stores.

Jim's right -- Stewart is only available from the pallet display. On the positive side, the pallet display seems to have everything, not just Stewart, so when that hits everything should be available. I've visited multiple Walmarts over the last week and found no displays, just a few figures and vehicles. Often scattered through the toy aisle. It looks like Walmart is s l o w l y resetting -- I've seen clearance aisles and tables. But around here they are taking their time.

Yeah, my local stores are a complete mess.  Hopefully the resets won't take too much longer

 

 

I was able to find a listing for Green Lantern on the Walmart site though for those that are ordering online

The store I used to work at is in mid-reset *but* they're also in the middle of a complete remodel so the entire store is a total mess.  Looks like it will be nice when done but it seems like it's taking forever to get there...

I'm late with posting but my local Walmart finally got the Super Powers display on Thursday of last week. My neighbor graciously texted me, and since I work from home now, I leaped into the car and rocketed over to get John Stewart. Finally.

The action figure aisle has been reset locally.  Still no product here but I checked the tags tonight and Super Powers figures and vehicles both have designated space with the other DC stuff.  Granted, not all stores will necessarily have the space set aside from them but if your store has a decent size toy department and/or has a lot of McFarlane Multiverse Super Powers should be there.

Apparently only 1 store of the 8 local are getting the full Super Powers display. The rest are going straight to pegs. At least now I know which store to focus my search in for a John Stewart.
