    7/29 and no luck yet.

    None of the figures have shown up online as of 12:03 A.M. I'll keep refreshing for just a bit longer, and then I'll have to hit the sack (gotta get up early for work.) I wish Target/Mego had made things a little easier. Saying they will release on the 29th, and a bunch of stores release early. 29th hits, and nothing on target.com

      What time zone is Target hq in? If it's not in the eastern time zone it probably won't be available until midnight local for the hq.

      -M

      Edit to add-just looked to see Target hq is in Minneapolis which is Central Time zone, so I would expect the website to use that time zone for when 7/29 hits, not Eastern.

                Yes, but Targets headquarters is in Minneapolis

                  I think the internet is on Silicone Valley time, so maybe that's when the website will activate the product?

                      They still don't even have all the figures listed in the "mego" search.

                        Maybe the internet is going to wait for the stores to open in the morning?
                        I was told on the phone when I mentioned I might want more than one of each, that they might limit how many you can buy. I was asking if I could get a shipping case because I planned to buy twenty figures. I seemed to offend them somehow, by wanting a box.

                          Lonnie, stop trying to buy all the Mego. Buying too much product is bad, possibly. It might hurt both Target and Mego, maybe.

                            Yeah, I'd hate to make their display look half empty...
