    Jerks beef with Ten Bears
    • Mar 15, 2008
    • 1959

    Checked my local Target last night - a few Alices', a few Jimi Hendrix', a Starchild, a couple of Tooties', plenty of Bewitched, and a couple of Kris' from Charlie's Angels.
    "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

      Not in NW Ohio, that is for sure.

        I don’t hold out much hope in getting help from the stores, and I can say this because I used to work at a Toys R US a while back.
        The workers and the managers are well aware of us collectors and have been since the 80’s and mostly despise us.

        You have to remember that workers in the store are generally treated like garbage by the management and often the customers.

        If you find people there that are truly helpful, know that you are blessed.

          Something surprising today (and countering my grousing): The Medina, OH Target--which did not stock wave 1 at all--had all of wave 2, including boxed sets and 14" except Frankenstein's monster. I nabbed a Gorn!

          Lovely heads on Samantha, Kelly Bundy, and Kris. Though I was disappointed to see dark roots shading had been added to Kelly's hair.

          The 14" wave two figures look great IMO.

            Nice haul, still looking for Frankenstein too. Agreed about the Wave 2 14”...they are way better!

              No wave 2 in Cen-cal except 14'' DC and Oz . I read Ebay sellers with wave 3 claiming
              Targets may not see wave 3 because the discount signals an end to these. I
              don't know if this is true or not but no wave 2 8 '' sucks bad enough.

                ^that sounds exactly like what someone trying to drive up the price would say.

                  You don't think the eBay sellers are saying that to dupe people into bidding high on their auctions?
                  Expectation is the death of discovery.

                    Awesome! I just saw your response to my earlier post, and completely related to the discouragement you had expressed. I'm glad to hear that you had a similar experience to the one I had on Friday night. Cheers!

                        Yes, me too. The hair is actually too light for some basic ideas I had anyway, but the dark root line kind of made it a complete moot point for me. I still bought it though!

                          My local Target in Jacksonville, FL still doesn't have wave 2.

                            At this point I'm just hoping once the Target exclusivity is done that Frankie gets re-released.

                              Never saw wave 2 here in Georgia. Guess I never will. Sucks. It shouldn’t be this hard. I hope if Mego continues beyond the Target exclusivity deal, that they re-release some of the more successful figures nationwide for fans who couldn’t get them the first time around.
