        I haven't found them in stores yet, but I remember zooming in on someone's pictures and seeing that price on the shelf.

          I paid $14.99 in store and that’s what they’re being sold at. I know online has been a fluke for that figure but people didn’t have an issue price matching.

            In store $14.99

            Online $17.99

            People are buying them at that price, so Target has no issue continuing to charge that much for them online. Dracula seems to sell the best, why not make a few extra bucks for him.

            That said, his MSRP has to be the same as everyone else. So this is just Target taking advantage, whether intentional or not. It's stupid.

              I found two Dracs yesterday at TARGET and they rang up at $14.99 each. My advice; check your stores regularly and develop a good relationship with at least one crew member in the toy department. The guy I talk to all the time is very cool about letting me know what they have in backstock and keeps me informed on other cool stuff beyond MEGOS that he knows I’m interested in.

                My hope is Mego realizes that low price point is as relevant as the product they make. Part of Mego's legacy is affordability and I believe the new team knows that. Mego is now back on the shelves for everyone to enjoy and not just collectors. It's a new day.

                  I got my Bela last night at the store and he was $14.99. I was actually surprised.

                      Is it wrong to hope that the Price goes down a bit when they are true Mass retail. I swear i heard that was a possibility when they are mass market (as in selling everywhere in mass qty)
                      since it would lower the cost.

                        Weird, I bought my Bela on-line Sunday and it was listed at $14.99.
