      Had to make a Target run this afternoon and yes, even though the tags on the pegs say $19.99, they scan at $14.99.

        I was in my local Target today and they had no MEGO and nothing to suggest they are going to have any. The way the collectible section looks now they will be carrying even more Funko Pops instead. I am hoping they are just in the process of changing things to make room for Megos.

          Two Targets checked, one in Yukon OK, the other in NW Oklahoma City.
          Yukon Target, which is where they showed up first the first year they got in Target here,
          had a nice shelf display and pegs: (see Ambassador vid here: )
          Second Target was a bust, no Megos yet.

                My local target got a fresh batch of Megos in the collectors' section. I picked up the other version of Hendrix, Bruce Lee, 14" Aquaman and 14" N-52 Wonder Woman. I already had the other figures, but it was nice to see flocked Wolfie, GITD Drac, Red-caped Bela, 14" N-52 Bats, Ivy, Harley, Luthor along with others.

                I didn't realize, but it looks like there is a slight difference in the boxes for the newer 14" figures. Note how the clear plastic folds over the top. Honestly, I preferred the cardboard folded on to the front of the window. I felt a little more stable for boxes that get easily beat up.

                  Nothing at my local Target. They still haven't changed the collectible signage to show the Mego Batman even. No Haunted Mansion stuff that was supposed to drop Friday either. Sigh.

                      My local Target has no Mego at all. Maybe soon, I hope.

                          I was there on Thursday, but I couldn't get to them. They had the whole back wall blocked by pallets filled with boxes. I grabbed a few things I could see, by asking a nice Associate to help me. Poor kid had to climb over the boxes, I apologized for being a pain. He said it wasn't much of a problem...lol.

                          They're all open, because they're going to be customs.

                            I saw this exact same assortment today. Surprised they were unsold this late in the week. I assumed there had been more Uhuras, Romulans, Tribble Kirks and Spocks until I saw your post.
                            So I guess I had first crack at them. Only one of my 3 area Targets seems to have these.
                            Questions:
                            - I thought Spock was supposed to come with a V hand?
                            -What glows on the Gorn? His teeth and eyes? The body looks like the same Gorn as before at first glance.
                            - Are the tribbles supposed to be individual or clumped together? They look like all one clump with no separation when I shook the packages.
                            Observations:
                            -Lowest number seen was 987 on Freddy (brown glove). All other horror figures had numbers over 11000.
                            -Paint apps are improving, although Spock had a really thrashed card and wonky eyes. And Freddys sweater stripes looked too uneven. Had to leave them both, sadly (damn OCD).
                            -I spent too much money lol

                                The 8" Megos have joined the 14" figures at my Target. I picked up a non-mangled card flocked Jimi Hendrix with my 15% coupon and 5% off Target Card. I like how they are separating them; one peg if for Horror, another for Legends, and a third for... something else (YV? That was the Trek peg), and all are in those sections of the wall instead of just jumbled next to each other or sharing pegs.
