    STOP THE PRESSES, I can't believe it, to my astonishment I walked into my local Target, which is about a 10 minute walking distance from my house and after checking for almost 2 months, I had to do a double take, and I seen wave 2, (1) Cliff and (2) Kelly Bundy and (2) Facts of Life Jo. These were not on an end cap they were mixed in with the WWE wrestlers
    they didn't have a tag price, they were under WWE for $10.99 I did take the Cliff to the price check scanner and it came up as Mego Cheers Cliff priced at 12.99

    Now I was told by sales clerks more than once, that this store location was not getting mego figures, they never had any wave 1 figures but when I checked this weekend, there were these ones mentioned. I'm thinking did this particular store get these accidentally from a warehouse person mixing these in with the WWE figures? I just think that because there was only 3 characters offered and they were mixed in with the WWE figures, with no mego display or mego peg tags.

    It's confusing to me, but at the same time it's a hopeful omen. Now I'll have to keep checking to see if any more show up.

    It's just really strange that they never got wave 1, being told they weren't going to carry them, and then just happening to see 3 figures from wave 2 out of the blue. I originally went there to pick up Madden 19 for my PS4 and had to pass the toy section, and decided what the heck, I'll take a quick look to see if there's any mego figures, honestly wasn't expecting to see anything.
    I wasn't even going to look at the wrestling section last week, but did for no reason and there were two Bewitched figures! I check all the isles now. I know the end cap deal ends soon and I'm betting there will be some confusion as to where they are going to end up for a while.
    Expectation is the death of discovery.

      Wave 2 just hit New Hampshire! In Greenland, NH I just picked up a Gorn! They had 1 Gorn(Mine!), 1 Frankenstein Monster and 2 Samantha's.


      Gotta say...I'm liking the new Gorn! Better color for the body and better paint job on the head(they even added shading). My one gripe(gottta have one!)would be I'd like to have seen him with bigger shoulders and biceps. The would have given him more size without using a Hulk body. But other than that...he's pretty Awesome!!

        Yep. I agree. Gotta say, I think that's even better than the EMCE version which is a very good line in it's own right.

            Well glad to hear they showed up in New Hampshire, (Bat) did they carry any wave 1 figures at that location?
            just curious since their were no wave 1's at my local Target, then all of a sudden, there was wave 2 figures out of
            nowhere. Hope my store gets more wave 2 figures since I want to grab the Gorn and Frankenstein, I have the EMCE
            Gorn and would like to compare them side by side, and I'm foaming at the mouth for the Romulan in the next wave to come out, really hope I find it at my local Target, even by accident, and folks don't forget to check the WWE section of your store,
            you might see the new megos mixed in with them.

                Dribbling out here in St. Louis, Green Lantern and Poison Ivy are now mixed in with the 14-inchers, and of the 8-inchers, I've seen at different stores Samantha, Gorn, Frankenstein, and the WOZ and Full House 2-packs.

                Of Wave 1, the only one I haven't seen in weeks is Dracula.

                  After hitting a few Targets yesterday and today, I have finally started to see them on the pegs.

                  I've had the most luck with the 14"ers. I have found all four of wave 2 and picked them all up. Only one store had all four in stock. I grabbed a second Batgirl because the paint apps on the initial one I bought wasn't that good.

                  Of the 8"ers, I picked up the Wizard of Oz set, a Charlie's Angels Kris Munroe, and the only Samantha/Bewitched and Gorn I saw.

                  I also saw one Starchild, two Richie Cunninghams and multiple Full House sets.

                  Two Targets had moved the Megos off the endcap and into the aisle with Marvel and DC merchandise.

                  I am still in need of a Frankenstein and Kelly Bundy.

                      Yes, the Target in NH and both the stores in Maine I go to all have Wave 1 figures with the end cap displays.

                                That list was derived from Brick Link I believe. I don't think there's been anything official confirmed. Paul doesn't say anything until it's been cleared by the retailer (Target)
