Wave 2 spotted already

[palitoy]

It’s TRUE I just picked up FRANKENSTEIN & the GORN!!
Also I don’t know if this is good or bad??
But the price has dropped to $12.99 each. And something I had not seen yet.
There is a bewitched (Samantha) figure.
Looks very nice.

The reason wave 2 shouldn't be on the shelves is that price is to move wave one figures off the shelves to make room. You got lucky!

I guess Target gets their shipments on Thursdays, from what I was told. Maybe the one near me that has very little will be getting stock to fill the empty pegs tomorrow.

By the way, I live in Michigan. The Detroit area. And the price was lowered at all 4 of my local stores.

I'm living in the same area but haven't been able to make it to the actual stores yet. May I ask which ones you frequent?

Canton South, Michigan Ave - no
Canton North, Ford Rd - yes
Livionia, Plymouth Rd - no
Westland, Warren Rd - yes

the pics above, are in this order. so the Ford Rd, Canton is where the Frankenstein is at

Thanks much for the report. A little far for me to hitch a ride, unfortunately, as Frankie and the Romulan make up 2/3 of the newbies I'm after.

I think this is more of an opinion than fact...

^If it's his opinion on Megos, it's as good as a fact will get.

No it's a fact.

MEGO Corp knowledge is one thing, TARGET business practices is another all-together different animal.

If the price has been lowered at TARGET, MEGO is out of the picture controlling what happens at the store level. (Though it could be addressed if 'nuff wheels start squeaking)

If a DCPI is associated with a line of toys, then any change (typically price cuts) are reflected within that DCPI family - for all figures sharing that DCPI. The wave 2 figures are still aligned under the initial master assortment DCPI, and as such it's not really luck, it's just basic TARGET business practices providing savings to those figures.

I'll hazard to guess Wave 3 will also fall under all the established master DCPIs.. which means, for me, every figure I buy and every 2-pack I buy will be at the lowest price available (currently $12.99 & $24.99 respectively). Again, that's not luck, that's knowing how Target works.

Best, and of course YMMV

I'm going to use his shirt for Weird Al.

Weird Al would be good. He'd look great in that shirt.

Could expand on this and could also have a couple characters from UHF.

Magnum P.I. would be fun as well. I suppose his ring from the show could be painted on his hand, and there should be a rubber chicken and gorilla mask around somewhere.

Target doesn't want wave two out there right now, I know that for a fact, trust me. Any figures out there are pure happenstance, ie luck.

Wave two is set to come out end of September and the official announcement by Target, is set for then.

That I believe.. but, with MEGO sending the new figures to Target now, and with these aligning under the general DCPIs then it's out of both their control.

(I predicted this would happen here a few days ago, when the 1st $12.99 pp showed up .. as I've seen this very same scenario play out many times before.)

The two figures callistofreak bought rang up with wave one numbers. The figures are ringing up with the master case numbers instead of their individual numbers, and these rung up as if they were from the Dracula/Action Jackson/Sulu case.
