    7/22/1018: only Joe Namath was missing from shelves at Target in Lubbock, TX

    They are here, and I could not be happier- it's a huge thrill to be able to buy Megos, let alone Mego Megos, in stores again!
    As the title implies, the only thing I could not find was Big Joe- everyone else was sprinkled throughout the toy section (Jeannie and Tony Nelson are in the 'pink' aisle)!

    Lastly, I just saw some of the asking prices on the 'bay... some people ought to be ashamed of themselves...

      How exciting! Did you take any pictures? So did you buy any? What do they look better or worse in person? I'll have to swing by my Target tomorrow to see if they put them out early.

        No pics yet, but I'll put some up later, if people want - I may have to go back and get one or two more!
        They're gorgeous - I got a 14" Wonder Woman, and the Mirror Kirk/Spock set. FYI, the Mirror set has extra cardboard viewscreens in the back, along with an application card to join the new Mego Club - now THAT'S exciting!

          Fresh, not from concentrate.

            Yes, I would love to see pics of the way they have them set up in the aisle. It's great in this day and age, that we have our camera phones to just snap a pic of the toy aisle. I wish I had that convenient ability in the 1970s. Now I just have to rely on my memory of what it looked like.

              Cool! That ups the chances of me finding them in my Target on Friday the 27th!

              Namath won't be in stores, of course. Limited edition only for now and was SDCC only. More Namath "later" according to Paul in "that" Youtube interview video.

                        Downtown Portland Target, nothing. Their toy section is super tiny and they might not even get them.

                          Yes, and they look great! I saw at least four!
