    Actually, since I got the ones I wanted the first week of release, I have only been back to a local Target once (in Plano) to pick up the 14" Batman, which I actually like very much. Between two trips there within 4 days of each other, very little stock had moved. I did notice the Dracula was gone and perhaps there had been some restocking, as the first trip only had one Fonzie and when I went back to pick up the Batman, there were three Fonzies on the pegs. Four Action Jacksons, too, the second time around. The 14" figures looked to be unchanged.

    I have actually not visited either Target in my hometown; guess I need to do that to see if they finally have them out and what they have... I am already anticipating wave 2, and from Paul's comments, the next 14" line with the corrected necks.... I am hoping to see Superman and the Joker in this next wave...

      Three Targets near me in the Greensboro NC area, No Sulus, Dracs, or AJ's to be found. 14" are hit or miss. Initiallly Bats was gone, they've since restocked and all 14" are readily available. the two pack sets can be found, but Trek in smaller numbers than Jeanie. Everything else readlity available, I'd say the TV ladies, are actually languishing, but hard to tell for sure.

        I saw the Jeannie set and Wonder Woman at the Grove City Target a couple of weeks ago. They had everything once they brought out the Mirror Mirror set from the back. I haven't been back to a Target since. You are right. We are blessed with a lot of Targets in and around Columbus. Heck There was a Starbucks, Pizza Hut and a CVS pharmacy inside Target.

          Here's what they had today. I took both of the Piper figures, so those are gone now.

            I bought most of the ones I wanted a couple of weeks ago in store (because that’s how nature intended it). My plan is to pick more up on subsequent trips just because I can (kinda looking forward to picking up some on clearance, too). It gives me great joy knowing they’re there. One day they won’t be and that’s fine, too.
            Fresh, not from concentrate.

              As a follow-up, just visited one of the two Targets in my hometown finally this evening, and it had the Mego endcap (no signage however). Looked like they had the "standard" stock of 14" figures; 4 of each, and for the 8" figures, a pretty decent assortment; just missing Jimmy Hendrix and Dracula. They had one Action Jackson, 4 Norms from Cheers, 4 Alices from the Brady Bunch, 2-3 of each of the other female figures, 2 each of Sulu and Chekov, 2 of Fonzie, and three each of the 2-packs. Looks like, just from general observations, that the best sellers in the 8" here in north Texas are Sulu, Chekov, Dracula, Hendrix, and Action Jackson. The worst sellers (so far) seem to be the female figures, with LOTS of Alice still on the pegs. 14" figures seem to be in abundance, too.

                Thanks, SWCWorld! This is the kind of feedback I was hoping for when I started this thread.

                  I checked my target yesterday,considering a restock, of 14 inches there was one Harley and two of ww, bats and Zod.the singles didn’t look as full as the previous week and three each of mirror and Jeannie.IMO,they are selling as well as expected for a retro line.

                    They are selling well in Wilkes-Barre. No Star Trek, Hendrix, Dracula. Abundance was Piper, Peggy and Action Jackson.

                          went to the other target by me(within 15 miles) and they had less on the shelves then the closer one by me. two zods(none of the others), one of each of Jeannie and mirror, and a mix of the singles.
