      Target really dropped the ball on this one, so I won't be able to get any Mego Trek figures...

        I wonder if some of these that are not available online were never put online. Did anyone get either one of the (2) packs last night?

          I noticed these weren't shown in Target's weekly print ad (or online ad). "Back in the day", all the Target exclusives seemed to be advertised that way.

            Target and their online ordering really isn't very good at all for collectibles, as I am sure the Funko crowd can attest too. I missed the Flocked Bugs Bunny Pop! And the one I really wanted, the Black Panther T-Shirt and Pop! Set, which showed up at my Target weeks later (despite being in the Ad two weeks prior) and I only saw one set that was the wrong shirt size (I wanted the shirt more than the Pop!).

            I'm still confident these will be in enough stores though, although some will sell out quickly. I just hope we don't see a glut of these magically "reappear" on the shelves 90 days from now.

              I'd like to know as well. There is no way that I Dream of Jeannie was selling out faster than Chekov and Sulu. I just don't believe it. I can't see how Action Jackson out-sold them either.

                  Both of my closest stores have nothing, but one is scheduled to receive them. I'm fearing I'll have to rely on members here for product.
                  WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

                      I don't think any of them are sold out. It's not like people were lined up around the block to buy the new Megos, and 10,000 figures sold out overnight. I think it's more of a really bad rollout by Target themselves. I bet in a week they will be plentiful on shelves, and we will be laughing about the panic we were all feeling.

                        I hope so. Target has definitely bungled this. The extent of it is unknown at the moment.

                          Yep. I had a discussion with someone about this scenario awhile back. For whatever reason, he/she was convinced scalpers wouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately I was right and they were wrong. Scalpers are cleaning up right now. Action Jackson just went for $40 bucks on ebay, Wonder Woman for $60.

                            I feel nauseous, disappointed and dejected. I was so looking forward to this day.

                              I have to disagree again but remember, I’m an amateur.

                              I got really nervous when I saw they were limited to 10,000. Now with the spotty rollout I’m more nervous. Fortunately I got the Treks last week.

                              But if there are 2,000 members on this Museum (just a guess) and we all buy 2 each, that’s 4,000 right there which is almost half the supply. If any of the “public” want them they could be sold out today. Luckily that can’t happen since apparently they are not widely or properly available.

                              I crashed and didn’t hit Target at 8am. I will try to hit one at 10:30 that was holding a Mirror Diorama for me Thurs night but I couldn’t go back for it. If I hit that one (Target #4 in my gallery), and especially end cap Target (#1 in my gallery) I’ll report back.

                                None here in central Ohio. I'm very disappointed. I started looking before today because some Targets were putting them out early. This just prolonged my irritation. When I talked to employees it seemed no one knew anything concrete about this. The one concrete thing I thought I knew, the release date, was also not something that couldn't be counted on.
                                I was able to order chekov online. I missed out on sulu. I want them to sell well but I also was hoping to have the opportunity to buy them too. I am told some are still on the way to be in stores here so that's good news. I wonder how many they actually had reserved for online sales.
                                Don't get me wrong, I'm still thrilled mego is back. It just seems Target has really mishandled this roll out. I just hope it doesn't hurt mego in the long run. I also hope I can get the figures I want. It's definitely not good for me or mego if this works this bad in the future.
