I wandered into a Gamestop yesterday simply because it was right next to where I parked to run into Target. I was surprised to find they had the Peacemaker 3-pack in there.
My friend told me to stop quoting the Monkees. I thought she was joking. But then I saw her face.
Brainiac ship has been found in the US at Walmart (I think it was AZ...)

I reached out to Dan via his Instagram account and he says this will not be Walmart exclusive but I haven't found it on Amazon or McFarlane's own site yet. When I do I will post links.
And I spoke to soon.
Pre-orders for the full wave are up on Amazon, Entertainment Earth, and McFarlane toys. If you pre-order the full wave you will get an exclusive Sinestro Corp Sinestro (not available to order individually as the moment). Also, there is a "Gold Label" variant of Brainiac's skull ship (Purple, Gold, and Green) that includes a Variant Brainiac figure as well.
The wave is Kilowog, Blue Beetle (Ted Kord), Manga Batman, and Brainiac, with 2 variants for the Brainiac skull ship and Blue Beetle's Bug ship, plus the variant Sinestro and Gold Superman.
I gotta say, seeing the figures in package, I am so excited to get these. Places my order last night and now just need to patiently wait for April for them to ship. I am so happy that McFarlane Toys is selling them direct and making it so easy to ensure I don't miss out on the figures I want (unlike the Walmart exclusive Black Manta and Reverse Flash that still haven't made it out to any stores in my area)
I've given up on this line. I love the figures, but I just don't have the drive in me for the action figure hunt that I had 10+ years ago. I've probably visited 50+ Walmarts in Indiana (I drive all over the state for work) and I've only even seen the wave with Batman/Robin/Aquaman in one walmart. Every other walmart is still sitting on the GL/Nightwing/Deathstroke wave. I've never seen Reverse Flash or Black Manta. Normally by now these things trickle, but nothing yet. Gamestop has some of the newer...but bleh.
If anyone is interested, I'm getting rid of what I have. I have 2X sets of the first 3 waves (less RV and BM) and 2X of the Peacemaker 3 pack. I also have one of the display toppers from the first wave.
Found this on a Facebook group for this line
Wave 8:
Booster Gold
Metamorpho
Guy Gardner
Batman (Dark Knight Returns)
Black Manta (Black suit variant)
Superman (Fleischer variant)
Such a great wave. Both the Superman and Batman variants make sense and will be appreciated in the collection. Also happy to be getting another chance at Manta (albeit a variant) as I have given up on ever getting a chance at one in my local store at this point.
**there is also new wave announcements for Multiverse and New Batman Adventures which I'll add in those threads**
The Fleischer Superman has my interest, hopefully it turns out looking good. I just got the Mego variant of that and it's amazing how much of a difference that "S" makes along with the red belt.
