    That's one of the reasons I wore my "Kneel before Zod" shirt to the Mego Meet panel.
    We couldn't say anything but I knew the panel would be recorded.

        Some Targets will hold items for you, for up to 24-hours.
        I called mine yesterday, looking for AJ, and they still don't have Megos yet.
        Hopefully they will stock AJ and Drac, I am ready to spend my money- all of it.

          Maybe a bit off track, but we have all heard the phrase "Christmas in July." This Saturday night July 28th, will be like Christmas Eve! So hard to sleep with anticipation for what comes in the morning! Our July Christmas!

            That's how the goyim will do it. Me, I'm going to hit target for eight days straight at sundown and buy one Mego a night (except for a couple nights where I'll get a six pack of socks that I will split between myself and my brother).

              Update.
              Just hit store #3, didn’t see them, guy looked up DCPI number on Chekov and says they won’t be carrying them. So apparently not all stores will have them.

              All the stores I’ve been to are likely within 5 miles of each other.

                This reminds me why I quit collecting action figures at retail, running from store to store
                from 1990's to early 2000 got old. I would much rather order online from Figures or
                BBTS .Now having second thoughts about buying any of these at retail and dealing with scalpers and disappointment that Target is part of

                      Yep - Lonnie, I went around to 3 stores in the Portland area (one of them twice in a couple of days), and found no sign of anything. Yesterday I had a stock guy check for me and he said that not only do they not have them, but that it looked like it was going to be online-only for all the stores in the area, meaning no one in Portland will be stocking them at all. I'm not sure I believe that since Portland is a pretty toy-heavy town, but I wish I knew for sure. I guess if I don't see any on Sunday I'm going to have to order them all online.

                        Not off track. Dead on.

                        I advise ordering online at midnight then go to store with $16 to pick up anything you want right then. Then go home and order it if you weren’t shopping for a duplicate.

                        It is cool to see and handle them in the store.

                          Checked the link and my local target will have 14 figures available on the 29th, and they will have Action Jackson
                          which makes me happy because he will be the first one I get that day, but unfortunately I did not see Dracula pictured,
                          which is a bummer, so I'll have to go to the target website if I want him.

                            I have. 3 targets by me but I’m going to the online route come Sunday.I doubt if I’d see everything on shelf at once plus I’ll buy in one swoop.definitely for the romulan commander when he comes out also hope it’s a new head sculpt.

                              I think people should at least wait until the street date before they start complaining about stores not carrying them.

                              Likewise, I wouldn't trust ANYTHING that a Target employee tells you. They know nothing.

                                It's awesome that Mego figures are back!

                                But I can't help but sigh a little...the hope for Nurse Chapel will rise again, & as usual is probably just a dream.

                                I have the Classic TV Toys Married with Children figures, so don't think I'd need Mego versions that look far less like the actors. Still great to see the Bundy's included!
