    Target?

    this may seem like a crazy question but will Target stock the new waves of Mego figures?
    i am not totally in love with wave 4 but if i can walk into a store i will be happy to get some of the new figs.
    i guess tbh i AM loving the new romulan

    I think they have all they will carry from the new stuff. They won't get all the figures.

      It seems like a lot of folks are expecting to see Nosferatu at Target, just from the chatter on FB.

        my understanding is that Target will have everything, just not exclusively

          Yeah I just read that too and was coming here to edit my post.

            I really don’t see how. Perhaps online but I’ve probably been to no kidding 20 Targets in the past two months because of a cross country travel and most are still sitting on stacks of Wave 1 figures. It’s hard to believe that most retail locations will ever see the new stuff. I’d be happy to be wrong but until they clearance and do a reset I don’t expect to see anything at a brick and mortar location.

                The Target closest to me hasn't had anything new in months the pegs are clogged with Tootie and Samantha figures. I not expecting to find much new at any of the Targets in my general area.

                  The Target by me hasn't gotten anything in since wave 1. They sure don't seem to try very hard to stock these figures in their stores.

                    Muhammad Ali, Marilyn Monroe, Andre The Giant and Joe Namath are all Target Exclusives, right?

                    The 8" figures are low enough at my area Targets that I can see them getting new ones eventually. The 14" figures are really backup up though!

                          Of the newer figures, I've only seen 1 Ali at one store among the several I visit. That's been it.

                            Two weeks ago, I saw 2 Farrah's, 2 Marilyn's, and 1 Andre at one of the local Targets - plus a bunch of Richies, Facts of Life, and Alice figures. I went back yesterday, and I swear every single figure was the same (I had looked at the numbers of all the newer ones). I did see a 14" Batgirl for the first time in-store.

                              I just walked into my local Target today to pick something else up but stopped by the toy aisle of course. Same stuff at Target that was there months ago. A couple of I Dream of Jeannie boxed items. A beat up boxed Harlequin and some Facts of Life/Brady Bunch/Happy Days leftovers
