    Found em and random thoughts

    Found a pretty nice setup at a Target. None of the others have them but this was nicely packed. Oddly the rarest figure in this setup was Norm. Not because he had sold out but because he was the only one there. Didn’t look like more than one or two figures had been sold, if that. I bought a bunch but haven’t gotten to mess around with them yet. Cards are nice. Dracula is my favorite but several look good. Norm has charm.

    I really worry about certain things though. This store had a fair amount of Alice and Tootie. I really doubt those are going to move. And since the cases seem to be randomly filled, I fear as the Draculas and Star Trek figures sell these could be potentially restocked with even more Tooties and Alices. Could be an issue down the line since the ratios are so wonky.

    A couple older people walked by and looked at them. One held up the 2 pack of I Dream of Jeannie and the laughed. She put it back down.

    A little girl walked by and pointed at Alice and said “Oh Alice” like it was something cool. She didn’t buy it though. I kinda think she thought it was from Alice in Wonderland.





    Anywho it’s awesome to see them out in the wild. I hope sales go well. Looking forward to more monsters and hopefully AJ variants! Happy hunting all!

        I went to the local Target in my area, they were not in stock but the person who checked his hand held inventory device said they will be out by June 29 or 30th. But most interesting is when I looked over his shoulder, the device listed characters coming out in the next waves. I won't give anything away but OMG. This could have all been a dream...

          Why won't you mention what is coming in the next wave, just out of curiosity? It's not like it would change anything. Speculating and talking about future waves/releases is a normal part of collecting. It's not like Target or Mego would suddenly scrap everything because someone on a message board mentioned a release in advance.

            Kinda like peeking behind the wrapping paper weeks before Xmas so there's no fun or surprise on Xmas morning. Sure, it doesn't change anything, it might just kill the surprise in the long term however.
            Expectation is the death of discovery.

              I won't say anything. It is up to the wonderful folks who worked so hard to get these Mego's out to make announcements. Besides just go to Target and have an associate look them up.

                    The kid at Target I talked to today said come back on the sixth and mentioned Superman when he was reading off some of the names. Doc already mentioned Supes in the SDCC video coming in the second wave. So it didnt surprise me. I wonder if they will just stock the other waves as soon as they get them? If Superman does arrive I guess they will put him out with the wave one figures. I will be living at Target.

                      Superman is a 14 incher if he’s coming.

                            I hope that is the list for wave 2 definitely wan't Gorn, Uhura,Wolfman and Frankenstein.
                            The end cap looks good and there a lot of Alice figures to sell before I can get a Gorn.
                            Is there more 14 '' DC coming out because I no longer trust pics of these and have to see them in hand . I do wish Cliff Clavin in a mailman uniform gets added to wave 2

                              The waves appear to be coming out close together, I need to work some OT. Thankfully these are more affordable than FTC
