    New Mego -- Your wants/needs

    Hopefully the title is self-exclamatory.

    I want/need (in order of desire)

    Action Jackson
    I Dream of Jeannie
    Star Trek Mirror Kirk/Spock 2-pack

    I have available for trade:
    Chekov
    Sulu

    What are your wants/needs, and what do you have available for trade? Hopefully if we get enough people posting here, everyone will be able to get what they are looking for in the end.

    Hi All,

    I am looking for the Bela Lugosi Dracula. If anyone could please help me out I would truly appreciate it.

    I had been checking the Target site every day for the past week for it to be listed, with no success. When the selection quickly (within a matter of couple of hours) dwindled to fewer and fewer figures, I decided to click on the "Out of Stock" tab, when the Dracula figure displayed as being out of stock.

    Of course, you can find the Dracula on eBay for several times the original price, and being hyped as "Rare" in the auction descriptions. I've thought about purchasing one off eBay, but I just can't bring myself to give in to these scalpers, whom I wish would just leave these figures alone for the people who really want them - instead of just seeing them as nothing more than something to profit from. If we don't buy from the scalpers, hopefully this type of thing will stop happening.

    If anyone could please help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. Other than a vintage Joker in nice shape (with DM shoes), I don't really have other available Megos I want to part with to trade. I could pay for the figure and shipping (and a few dollars extra for the time and trouble) via PayPal. Thank you very much for your time. Take care, have a great Sunday!

    -James

        Ditto, but I think there's going to be a lot of folks looking for it.

        BTW, the Target site, when it finally listed it (as out of stock) had it priced at $17.99 rather than the $14.99 the other 8 inch Megos were listed at. Is the Drac figure actually supposed to have a higher MSRP for some reason or is this an error on the Target website?

          Looking for Dracula and the Mirror two pack. Can a museum member help out a Canadian for retail+ shipping?

              Dracula is the most in-demand figure so far! His retail price (for those who got him) here in Oregon is $14.99.

                I'm also interested in Dracula, but I will be patient since others are already ahead of me.

                    I went by 2 Targets today looking for Dracula. At the second one, I asked if they would check the stock. It's listed as "Out of Stock" for every single Target in my area. I don't know if they ever even had any. Has anyone seen a Dracula at a Target store (not online, but in an actual brick and mortar store)?

                      I will buy extra at my target. I'm sure someone will want them.

                          I'm such an idiot. Brickseek showed the figures in-stock at my local Target, so I held off on ordering because target.com was charging $17.99 for him, and I wanted to see if I could get him cheaper at the store. But of course when I went they were in the middle of a huge reset and when I asked them when they might get the Mego stuff onto the floor, they said "not until the 29th." It's the 30th, I reminded them. "It should be on the floor tonight or tomorrow" was the new answer. Of course they couldn't be arsed to go to the back and look, because why work.

                          Now when I get back home, Drac is gone from the website. Of course.

                            I've got an extra Chekov and Sulu if any of our European/Canadian friends at Mego Museum want them. I know Target isn't shipping these internationally, so I'll be happy to help you guys out if you need it.
