    Megos in Walmart Columbus, Ohio - home of Mego Meet 2020

    I had time to make a quick visit to my second-closest Walmart, a larger footprint store near the Polaris Mall area. It looked like two cases had been originally stocked.




    My anal nature compelled me to do a little rearranging. I didn't need any of these, so I left them for the shopping pleasure of others.



    I was tempted to pull the $29.96 tags and take the whole space, but there were two stock dudes just out of camera range and I didn't have time to wait them out.

    I hate that anal nature that compels me to do a little (or a lot of!) rearranging in the toy aisle!

    It's fun seeing Megos at Walmart. With all the Walmarts in Western New York, only one store is listed as carrying them, and it's the opposite city/drive for me.

      I still need to check out the nearest Wal-Mart for Megos. It' just far enough off my commute path to make it difficult to get to.

        So did you find these in the electronics section? It doesn't look like a regular toy aisle.

          Why is Kirk priced at $29.96 and the others are priced at $12.96? or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

            Scored a WOK: Kirk & Khan at my local Walmart! They also had Aragon, Legolas, It, Bruce Lee & more. It's still blowing my mind that I can but Megos at my local store.😶

              Okay my bad, I didn't read the fine print under EMCE Hammers bottom pick, it was a rearrange game play, wonder if the staff caught it?

                Yes indeed. It was like a little half row. I wonder how many people actually would know the stuff is even there. Walmart electronics seems counter intuitive if you're looking for toys.

                  Both Walmarts in my town (about 40 minutes west of Columbus) were listed as carrying Mego. I went to one today (Tuttle Ave, the one on my way to work) and they did indeed have 4 pegs of Megos in the electronics section. ! Freddy, 1 Mummy, 1 Phantom, 1 Khan, 1 Kirk, 2 Legolas and 2 Aragorns. I already had everything I wanted of those, but it was good to see them in stock.

                    Traveling from VA to NJ this weekend, and went to four Walmart's on the list. Two had Mego figures (Spring Mills WV and Winchester VA) and two did not (Phillipsburg NJ and Martinsburg WV) There were no pegs or barcodes at those two, indicating to me that that have yet to stock them. Picked up Freddy, Phantom, and Pennywise.

                      Has anyone found Mego figures at a Walmart not listed as getting them?

                        Our Walmart here in town got a restock on Megos. They were down to just a Legolas and Aragorn just before Christmas, and when I stopped in yesterday, they had Kirk, Khan, Mummy, Phantom, Freddy and now 2 each of Legolas and Aragorn.

                          That same Walmart got another restock of Megos in when I checked this afternoon. This time they had Pennywise back in stock and for the first time I saw a Headless Horseman there, plus LOTR, Mummy, Freddy, and Phantom. No Trek this time. The Walmart across town however, had them initially and hasn't had any the last two times I checked there.
