I just read a post about this over on Facebook. I wonder if this might be any type of precursor to finding out Walmart will be the initial and exclusive retailer for the new MEGO figures...sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon. -
They’re also advertising toys via commercial, on ABC, in June. So, anything is possible.

Would be great if Walmart ends up stocking the new mego figures and if they don't there's always Target or Best Buy who stock figures.Comment

I'd like 'em better if they were printing them on newsprint, but they'll likely be the same glossy stock that I despise with the garish colors. Ugh!sigpic Oh then, what's this?

As for me, I am excited about the initiative, not for me personally, but for the potential of a new generation of kids being able to find comics like we did, not knowing they want comics and seeking them out in a niche destination shop, but seeing them out in the wild, stumbling on them, and finding a window into another world. They're not for me and my generation, they're to help create a new generation of readers, and that's a good thing.
Products like this shouldn't be geared towards me. Things that excite me are not going to excite kids today, just like products geared towards my parents and my grandparents as kid didn't excite me then.

Of course these books meant to find new audiences at a reasonable price ($5 for 100 pages) have been snapped up by ebay resellers who are now selling them for $20-$25 each. WalMart doesn't care, they get their money, but any chance of these finding a new audience is killed by these resellers buying up all the copies. I refuse to buy these from any secondary retailer at any price. If I see them in an actual Wallyworld I would pick up a copy to check them out (and neither WalMart in town has had copies, one had the empty standee, the other nada), but I will not give a dime to someone trying to flip these at the expense of them actually reaching potential new readers, especially kids, as intended. I will also not buy anything else from sellers I see flipping these, this includes direct shops who buy up copies and resell them at a higher price.
