    TRU Canada

    Found all the new Megos (with the exception of Stan Lee) hanging on the pegs in my local (South Calgary) ToysRUs today. I’m guessing they’re out now in all their locations.

    Thanks for the heads up. Went there after work today and while the selection wasn't that great I did get Picard, Data & the TZ Kanamit. I hope they get Hyde & The Fly at some point. Oh, and they did have one Stan Lee.

    Had a helluva time finding them tho, figured they'd be in action figure section, not over by the Funkos in what I believe used to be the video game department-yeah I haven't been to TRU in at least 5 years lol

    Pretty certain the last new Mego I got 'off the peg' was Penguin, a mere 41 years ago, so it was cool experience, despite having to wear a mask

      I went in last Thursday, also looking for Geoffrey as Superman TRU exclusive, they said... no, but the shipments are messed up because of...
      Thanks, the Sunridge store had 1 each of last assortment of monsters, two each of movies and wok. No Stan Lee though and I took a Rocky and TZ. I have the TNG coming(?) from BBTS...
      I’m hoping the set I get will have better uniforms on them. The communicators are stretched out to their armpits on all four in store.
      Thank you for the heads up

          That's weird, I've been to three in the GTA and they're teeming with them. At least Amazon.ca offers free shipping if you buy two, hard to complain about that.

            I've got almost everything from I want Amazon.ca but was out looking for a Mummy and a Headless Horseman as they're not listed on Amazon.ca yet. Maybe the store near me has yet to receive theirs...

              I've seen those two in my travels but their supply seems limited, usually 1 of each per store. It's a curious mix, my local store has an absolute abundance but not all of wave 8.

                My TRU said they were not carrying Mego , because they aren’t selling. I saw palitoy mention Ursus, so I had to look. There they were Ceasar, him, Kang, Riker, Reptile, Dr Frankenstein.
                They also had the 14” figures, monsters and trek. Not in love with the material for the shirts, but I’m not crazy about the scale either. I might cave. I noticed that the Gorn has too many fingers, and when confirming the lack of tricorder for Spock, I noticed that technically he does… in his belt, they used it in place of the communicator!
                Since I hijacked your thread, Captian… these were in NE Calgary

                  And if I may further hijack this thread I haven't checked out the south Calgary TRU but Amazon Canada has a pretty good selection of Megos right now at decent prices

                  This week I bought Robin, Ursus, Caeser, Joker, Peguin, Riddler, Kang, 14" Kirk & 14" Shazam. 8" are C$25-$27, 14" $40

                  Walmart online has a few as well, have 8" Batman coming from them C$20.00.

                  Free shipping with Amazon Prime, and I ordered a pair of shoes from WM so I was over $35 and got free shipping there too

                  Just a heads up to my fellow Canucks.

                    You can add GL John Stewart and Ultraman Tiga to the list of what’s available Not sure why Amazon isn’t selling Flash directly though. Superman and Wonder Woman are also still available at $19.99

                        Hey, I went to a mall with TRU, why not be disappointed and check the shelves…
                        Surprise! Wave 14 seems to be there, AND ZLC Rocky too.
                        I guess I’ll have to look in town now
                        Oh yeah, lots or Reaction figures too, $1 more for a 3 3/4 Picard, I’ll have to get that later, and tonnes of Joes
