No. That does not remotely explain the discrepancy here. Wave one saw most every store stocked with plenty of product that remains in many stores to this very day. There hasn't been one store since Wave two was announced that has displayed a full or even partial display of all those products, many of which are still b-list characters. I've watched endless videos and posts from people all over the country and they all read just like mine. Plenty of Wave one with just a few Wave two figures here and there. You can't make 212,000 figures in each wave just disappear everywhere at once.
I've never been a fan of Target for exclusives because they do not stock much of anything like they should be exclusives. I'm waiting on a CD right now that was supposed to be a store exclusive a week ago and nothing has been stocked yet. So my experience with them has seldom provided the goods as advertised. And when it comes to retro product from other companies, Target has developed cold feet extremely early on those product lines. I'm not saying they've given up on Mego, but these delays certainly aren't helping the cause on a product line with an expiration date. Its just another example of Target buying a line they cant seem to get out to the public. I'll be glad when they are out of the equation as the only resource to get these figures. I'm happy they gave an end cap experience, but now its time to move on.
