Awesome!

[powersthatbe]

sounds good

[TRDouble]

That’s good news!

[Cornelius POTA]

Not quite sure what this means long term and the future on new Mego.

Going to sleep on my thoughts and come back with my thoughts.

[LonnieFisher]

What it means is that they are spreading the Mego love to another country, and more outlets. All very good news.

[Type3Toys]

Cool! Looking forward to seeing it!

[Mego Newbie14]

[MRP]

Exciting news! Can't wait to see what they come out with!

Now it seems like they are going the way FTC has with the varients. That's ok but can we get some idea what wave 4 is going to be??? Some of us have to budget the price of Megos into our account.

[B-Lister]

What do you mean by variants? I know 10,000 of each unit have not yet shipped. I'm guessing we'll see some of Series 1-3 in other stores.

Cool, so far Ive picked up everything I want, nice to have a little bit of a breather, march seems like a long time away...

First off, Canada! heck, yeah. I don't know how cut out of the first three waves you were, compared to me, but apparently my lack of availability wasn't by design and your's was? That's gotta suck ( a little more ). But experience tells me that Canadians are less prone to ***** about it and better able to roll with the punches. So, I hope a broader cast makes for more purchase across a little bit more of North America than was first rolled out.

I'm a very simple guy and with the exception of what I did in the Navy, none of my jobs have ever had as much riding on them as the people that made the property decisions for what Mego made this first (Target) go-around. So please don't read this as a critique of their decisions of what to release and in what numbers. But if it's not obvious now as to what is gonna warm a peg (pretty easily predicted from here on out) and what will sell (also, easily predicted from here on out), please roll with what is patently obvious from the first three waves, eh. I think they could have sold as many again of what did sell and made none of what didn't and been four times ahead of where they are now with the bottom line. And again, that's not me being critical of those who made the decision, because who could have known for sure (risk big, win big?), but there was most of one and all of another quarter year across three waves of releases at retail, online, and a robust secondary market that says Superheroes, Trek, and Monsters sell and all else is vanity.
