    I look about once a day. The nearest Target is around 2 hours from me so the website is my best shot. Had no trouble with what I wanted out of wave 1 but wave 2 is proving slower to arrive.

        The Mego Asylum, on Facebook, is having a cow and a horse over wave two at Target or the lack there of, as of yesterday.

          Also, people are taking the end cap signs before they get thrown out and others are calling for them to lose their diplomatic immunity.

          Some folks are getting weird in there.

            Drove way out to the border to another Target to check for Wave 2. They had Wave 1 a few weeks ago. I go in and there's no endcap, no Mego anywhere. I look and I look. Finally I ask the clerk stocking toys. He immediately knows what I'm talking about and directs me to the endcap, where the figures are missing (there's Barbie stuff there now, no Mego sign or anything) and he looks puzzled. He calls over the manager and they talk about it for a while. They get a guy from the back. They think maybe it was clearanced, but it's nowhere in any of the clearance aisles.

            Anyway, long story short, no Mego Wave 2 and this store apparently purged all their Wave 1 stock. It was strange to say the least. They specifically told me that there was a pretty large endcap worth, so it's not like it just sold out all of the sudden. But no one seemed to know what had happened to it.

              I am pretty sure you can't be appointed to the US Supreme Court if convicted of prematurely taking a foam board end cap sign from Target.

                Did you check the other aisles? I have seen pictures at some stores where they have been dispersed to other areas in the toy section.

                  Well, back to the intended subject of this thread. Target.com still hasn't put them up for sale.

                  Shop Target for mego you will love at great low prices. Choose from Same Day Delivery, Drive Up or Order Pickup plus free shipping on orders $35+.

                    LOL @ The Mego Asylum.
                    Yeah, they seem a little whipped up today.
                    Also, I'm puzzled how someone removes and walks out of Target with a big endcap sign and no one from Target notices or asks them about it?

                      Indeed. I was in every aisle in the toy aisles. I also went to the entertainment section and pretty much the whole store honestly. It was strange.

                        You'd be amazed at what you can get away with when you act like you're supposed to be doing it.

                          I feel like if we put the Asylum in an asylum, we’d have a group of men in hysterics waiting for their cups of medication with a sip of water. Whew.

                            Yeah, I'll just patiently wait, everything will eventually get launched on the site.

                              ^ Of course! Everyone who’s in the market for wave 2 will find what they want soon.
