I found wave 1 without a problem. Wave 2 took me 3 stores. Wave 3, Mrs. Bear found 1 lone Green Lantern. Now wave 4 is out.
With in the last week I went to 2 Targets in MN, 3 in Iowa, and I just got back from a 5 store road trip tonight and I have not found a thing. I think If I want to continue the line I am just going to stick with pr-ordering.

Hey Bear - Actually....Wave 5 is out now, too.
I haven't really been collecting them, but I have seen them in a few stores (Target and Walmart). I recently started picking up JLU a bit, so I have seen them as I have been hunting.
It sounds like Bigbadtoystore is the way to go, once again. Talk to StrykerX2K about it - Jay collects that line and knows more about finding them than I do.
Have you checked any grocery stores? Those are some of the places that carry "hidden gems" where DCUC is concerned.

I should go the BBTS way if I want to continue the line. It does kind of kill the thrill of finding stuff on store shelves, but what can you do.

Ive been doing this since the remain of DC Superheroes (Clayface, catwoman, 2 faces) and followed the trend with the new DCU. Always end with an extra figure (Batman in Wave 1) but I think I won in Wave 2 with Red and Blue Superman. Now, wave 3 was a different story to me, where I picked the wave from ebay, just because I was too impatient to wait for BBTS to stock them. Im now preordering them. I still need a masked Deathstroke, (is it his name?) or Slade since I have the maskless one.

Basically if I do not preorder I cannot find the whole wave...so far of Wave 4 I have not seen any on the shelves, but I got the first part from BBTS, and the last part is coming in the second case assortment from them. I ordered the variant Capt. Atom from Amok tiem and paid $19.99 for it, but that is better than not finding it at all for now.
I just need all of Wave 5 and the unmasked Batman Beyond variant and I am finished with 4. None of which have I found at retail.
Wave 5 (The Wal-Mart wave) has not shown up anywhere around here or all the scalpers got the one case that came to the area.
