Now I gotta figure out who else will be carrying these in my town!

This is no surprise. As of January 1st, Target no longer had exclusive selling rights.

I hope Target continues to carry them too, because they frequently have great sales.

[powersthatbe]

I will most likely continue to buy new megos from target online if they continue to offer them.

[thunderbolt]

hope this means online sales somewhere besides Target.

Same here. Red Card, free shipping, 5% off. I know there was some frustration, but in the end I got every figure I wanted.

Some of them are up at Amok Time. Looks like the single 8" are $14.99. https://www.amoktime.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Mego

Some of the prices have gone up since earlier today. The monster set was fifteen dollars cheaper, and when I went to order them, the price was hiked. That's crappy...

The Star Trek figs on ToyWiz went up by a dollar as well.

I am going to say that was a misprint then, if the price I see is what you saw. A six figure set at Amok Time for $84.99 is only $14.17 per figure, which isn't bad. Same with the Trek set -- six figures, two duplicates.

I hope I can still find what I want locally, but I will be keeping an eye on BBTS and Mego Museum sponsor, Entertainment Earth.

I always felt the talk of Mego 2.0 hurting FTC sales was a head scratcher, but now that that online stores are carrying Mego 2.0 for $15 each, with online being the primary way to buy FTC figures, I wonder if Mego 2.0 listed next to FTC will start to apply pressure to the $30 FTC figures. Heck, I'd pick up a $14.99 Mego Freddy Kruger before I'd pick up a NECA Freddy (full disclosure -- I am not a fan of the NECA 8" retro-like figures).

Me, too, and plus (in spite of the distribution issues of some of the favorite figures), Targets are all over and we need a nationwide store to carry them.

I agree. Even though I've been frequently frustrated by the selection on target.com (I don't have a store near me), Mego needs a big chain store to be carrying these. Even though I know that many aren't Walmart fans, I wish they would pick these up too. Lots of exposure for the line and I do have several Walmarts near me.

So besides amok Time and Target where else? Why all the hint dropping?
