Wave 3 launch day

[Makernaut]

I was grousing a bit on Friday so I completely understand the frustration. However, by Saturday Morning I had everything I intended to get from Waves 1 and 2 in hand (from retail) with the exception of a 14" Supes and Green Lantern and a Spock. My experience is that, other than Green Lantern still being available, I'd say buying from the web (which is supposed to make it easier???) provides far less availability than finding them in stores....and I live in rural Oklahoma. Northwest side of Oklahoma City gives me access to 3 Targets that are 30 to 45 minutes from where I live if I go early and can miss traffic.

Retail scores:

AJ (peg warmer)
Bela (never saw it available on the website)
Gorn ( x 2) (never saw it available on the website)
CA Kelly for my sister (peg warmer)
Frankie (never saw it available on the website)
Sulu (peg warmer)
Chekov (peg warmer)
Mirror Universe 2 pack (peg warmer)

So, I am far more frustrated with the website than I am with finding these at retail and my assumption was that I would have to get all of the from the website because I live in Oklahoma.

Definitely frustrating and makes no sense from an e-commerce standpoint in 2018.

My sentiments exactly. Why is this happening?

[powersthatbe]

I'm hoping after the 11.99 sale(how long is that anyway?) wave 3 will pop up online in full force.

From whomever mans the keys over at the Mego Corp FB mod department:


"Hi David, thanks for reaching out!
We're definitely aware of the Wave 3 release online
and we're working closely with Target to make sure
that they'll be available for purchase soon!
Thank you so much for your patience and for the love"

Of course they know, but it's quite nice to see it confirmed!

And how about putting up some Draculas and Frankensteins too.

I checked on the status of the Flash I ordered and now it says "back-ordered". It's getting ridiculous. Now even when you think you have one, you don't.

Sulu/Uhura set currently available from the website.

Hmm, I got a item has been shipped email about an hour after I ordered it for the Flash when it popped available last night. Checked the tracking today and it was on its way.

Argh! After chasing these online all weekend? That’s terrible! Well at least your order will get filled 1st next?
I keep getting the alerts on my phone that something is in stock.. seconds later on the site.. temporarily unavailable.

And now gone again. I managed to order one I think. We'll see how it goes. I got an order confirmation email, but I won't count on it until I get the item has shipped email from them like I did with the Flash.

I actually found the suhura set at target. Yes I bought it haha. No other wave 3 and no wave 2 except for Greg and Sam.

[SWDAVE]

I still have not seen any of wave two. The Mego section has been minimized to just two pegs and they are full of wave one pegwarmers. Very frustrating. I would love to buy more, but I cannot .....

Joker currently up on the site as available.

And gone... very quickly.

^ I've kinda given up trying to grab the figures as they pop up on the website. It's so random, and I just don't have the time to check every few minutes. That kind of thing just makes a person obsessive. I don't like feeling that way. I'm just trying to tell myself to be patient and go about my business. When Target gets it together and can stock them for a reasonable amount of time that allows busy people to shop when they want to shop, then that's another story. It truly is frustrating though. I am a collector and always have been, but I can't let it dominate my life. So maybe I'm more of a casual collector?
