    Next wave,shopping online or retail?

    With the question of availability with the first wave, many people including me went the online route. Now that we've seen that product is readily available at target are you going to do online shopping or retail this time around? If the Romulan Commander is in the next wave I'll most likely order him asap online because he's a must have, but whatever others, the thrill is in the hunt, so retail..

    Retail. Finding them on the pegs is to much fun and you can pick the best one hanging there to buy.

      Probably a mix of both like i did with the first wave. I might order a couple of must haves online and then browse the rest to see what I might want to pick up after seeing it.

        I'm definitely in for a Romulan Commander, if I can actually find him in the stores, my local Target is not carrying the new mego's, I'll have to search around at other Target locations not so close to me, just because I rather pick and choose in
        person instead of taking a chance ordering online.

          Definitely retail, just like the first wave, for me. It is fun to compare which one to get in-person based upon paint application, clothing, etc. I purchased my 14" General Zod that way; Target had 4, so I compared and purchased the one with the "thickest" red turtleneck that I thought look best...

          Now that seemingly most Targets have the Mego figures, I think wave 2 will roll out much more smoothly in about 6 weeks or so (just a guess).

                I totally with ya on that! If he looks good(and I'm assuming he will)I'll not take chances with the Romulan Commander...I'll place an order online immediately!!!

                  There is a magic in the experience of finding Mego at retail. I feel like that's sort of the whole point. That said, if I can't find a certain figure, it's nice to fall back on online.

                      I did and will do both since the one Target that carries them is an hour away.

                            Nothing so far at my Targets, so it's been online for me. Which is not my preference.

                              Series one was all retail, except Batman.

                              I expect to do all retail on series 2.
