    Options For International Mego Fans?

    I've not seen it discussed anywhere here, but has anyone outside of the U.S planning to collect the new Mego figures?

    I'm going to try a service our post office offers that gives you a faux U.S address to use and then ships them on to Australia from
    there for a small surcharge. I've registered on Target's website but not done and order yet.

    I want to avoid the inevitable eBay gouge if possible, was wondering if any other international collectors had things organised or a better option?

        Target's definition of 'international shipping' extends only to Mexico and Canada, unfortunately.

        Looks like I'm out of luck, my Shopmate address was rejected. After doing checkout and payment I then received an Order Cancelled email and since found others saying Target.com doesn't support ShopMate's forwarding address.

        I'm thinking I'm just going to avoid this line now, I love my mego toys but not at eBay gouge + harsh international shipping prices.

          yeah sadly doc was misinformed ,and in spite of this information

          Can Target deliver to the UK?
          US retailer Target has launched an international version of its website, making its products available to UK shoppers for the very first time. ... When international guests visit Target.com, they will be taken to the new portal, where they can designate the country they would like to ship to and also choose their currency.30 Oct 2015

            ^ That sucks.
            Yeah, it does not look like Target ships outside of US, Canada, and Mexico.
            I am in Canada and had to scramble friends and family in the US to help me.
            Hopefully someone Stateside can pick up an extra for you!

              One figure is $15 us or $20 cdn
              Shipping for one figure is $30 cdn
              Do the math.

              Hoping Mego strikes a deal with Walmart soon.
